Roosters on Vacation

My street, South 1st, which runs in front of Albany High School, is usually very quiet in the summer time. 

Well…not this past week.

It seems that several roosters decided to escape their ag pens and take a tour of the neighborhood.

These roosters were not small in size. They were fairly large and had “vocal cords” to match.

For some reason they felt it necessary to perform their “wake up calls” all hours of the day and night. This went on for about four or five days.

You, me & everyday life

It does seem like you see signs everywhere these days. A lot of these quotes are on T shirts. I have a Sign Wall in my den. Some of the signs are spiritual and some are just for fun.  

•Here are a few for seniors...I thought growing old would take longer. I don’t have grey hair; I have wisdom highlights. Growing old is not for sissies. 

•My BUCKET LIST...1. Keep breathing.

•If you’re happy and you know it...it’s your meds. 

•I don’t trip, I do random gravity checks.

•Young at heart, slightly older in other parts.

THAT QUESTION...

I know that all parents and grandparents have heard “that question” from your kids and grandkids a million times. I know I have. 

It had been awhile since I had taken a ride with my granddaughters. It was a experience.

I drove to Denver to stay with them while their parents were out of the country for medical treatment. 

I flew the last two times I went, and decided I could drive it this time, a nine-hour drive. I would stay a week and then bring them home with me for a week.
