Life's simple pleasures (and occasional aggravations) 27 Aug 2013 | 04:53 pm
A few days ago Cliff and I were talking about one thing and another, and somehow the subject of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches came up. "I miss peanut butter and jelly sandwiches," I said. "Rem.....
The fun of growing older 26 Aug 2013 | 06:57 pm
I've had trouble getting sufficient sleep for many years. From what I gather, this is a problem for women more often than men, at least the women I've talked to, and usually women who are middle-aged...
Attending the Lexington Fair 26 Aug 2013 | 06:20 am
The fair board wanted our tractor club to have the members there with their tractors at 8 o'clock in the morning. We got there by nine, and some people made it later on. They had hoped for thirty tr...
Riding along 224 on a tractor 25 Aug 2013 | 08:12 pm
The big Oliver 1855 goes amazingly fast for a tractor. Cliff says it's because it has hydraul-shift. It goes fast enough that our hair blows back when we're up to full speed, and if it weren't for c...

The late row of green beans is producing a better, more abundant crop than the early ones did. I watered them some in the early stages, but haven't lately, and figured they would quit producing. Tod...
Council Grove, Kansas, in the Flint Hills. 21 Aug 2013 | 02:50 am
I did not intend to wait so long between entries, but I got caught up in canning tomatoes and tomato juice. What a messy business. Not difficult, just messy. Our first stop in the Flint Hills was.....
I'm not a social person 19 Aug 2013 | 06:26 am
There were times in my life when I WAS more gregarious, but I have receded into my shell to such an extent since my last job that I feel I'm doing well to connect with anybody other than Cliff, in rea...
