"This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it."
Zelda Peterson spent a happy time at Freda Hollis's 95th Birthday Party in Greeley. Both ladies were school friends in Eads High School. Their photo shows them to be such attractive ladies in their 90's. Freda and her late husband, Leo, and their three sons, Steve, Dan, and Mark, were our country neighbors northwest of Eads.

Our weather over the weekend had its ups and downs. The people around Eads had a scary time during the tornado warning and harsh rains. We're just glad that the damage was minimal. The rest of the County received some very beneficial moisture. I hear reports of 1 1/2 inches to 3 inches. Most of it came really easy and soaked in. I didn't hear of any damaging hail. Glad we didn't have the blizzard conditions they experienced along the I 25 corridor and in the mountains. You never know about these Spring storms.

The Spring Fling Craft Fair held at Plainview School on Saturday was a huge success. There were lots of different products and craft items to see and purchase. The Plainview Community Club members served a delicious lunch and the cheerleaders had a large variety of baked goodies for sale. A very enjoyable day! Hats off to the PCC for a job well done!!

Jonathan Swift. The author of the book "Gulliver's Travels", a great adventure story about a man named Lemuel Gulliver. The story takes place between the years 1699 to 1702. I've decided to rewrite this famous classic.
Let's call the new version....."Gullible's Travels." It's about the adventures of a girl and takes place between the years 1955 and 2016. This girl has gone to school. She's learned things. She's older now, and some life's lessons will never leave her.

Snooze Buttons. One of my favorite things in life. I always set the alarm on my phone for 30 minutes before I actually want to get up. I gave up on alarm clocks long ago. I'm technologically challenged. When my phone goes off, I set it for 30 minutes later, then go back to sleep for another half hour.
That sounds much longer than going back to sleep for "another 30 minutes". I am a master at cheating the clock.
