STUFF!

I wandered around last night trying to get a glimpse of the aurora borealis but had no luck. I probably should have driven east on old 40 to the "big hill". Maybe I could have seen something from there. Fatigue set in so I just came in and looked at one of the pictures of same that my friend Pedrito sent me from Yellowknife many years ago. There are very good pictures on the web too...they are really fascinating.

The tile work is progressing so well that we've had to move everything out of the bathroom altogether. My tooth brush and I have been relocated.

"If we are all thinking alike, no one is thinking." Bill Walton. That's a good thing to always remember. There is always a point or respect in which things...people...differ. I've never figured out why people get so angry if everyone doesn't agree with them.

The last football game is tonight. I wish the boys could have had a better season as they tried hard to win games. I've known years when they didn't put out much effort, but these kids seem to really want to win. And, as one of the coaches told me, if they weren't in such good shape, their losses would have been greater. I think there is some very good talent coming up from the Middle School so evidence of that should surface in a couple of years. Maybe we can look forward to winning some games. We could use some "beef" and speed.

Meantime....we can look forward to basketball season. With grandsons on two different teams, I'll be on the road a lot.

If you haven't been to Wilson lately, you could have a nice outing by going over there and browsing around. Check out Made from Scratch, La Shiro’s Boutique, Wilson Family foods for great home-smoked bacon, hams and meats to take home, Das Borell Haus B & B, Sincerely Yours Gifts and Sportsman’s Lodge, Ollie’s Antiques, the Opera House Museum, the old jail and water tower, Czech Cottages (Dave Criswell's straw bale construction), Kansas Originals, the Smoky Hill Winery and, of course, The Midland Hotel. You can check on my website splash page and find our more about most of those things. I like Wilson...it's a nice place and many of their residents have done a lot to make it that way.

Remember you can eat at Castle Rock Bed and Breakfast. Just make reservations. It's a nice place to go and they treat you well.
