The Progeny
Howdy Do, Everyone :-)
This is Ma coming to you from Ma's Ma's house :-D
In other words, I am at my mother's home in Dunlap. I'll visit for a little bit, stay over night and then head back Ioway in the morning.
Kendra is all tucked into her dorm room at Grace College.
What a bit of nostalgia to be back there again. Isn't it nice that the college has kept the same old ceiling tiles and registers for the sake of us old timers?
I noticed the floors were all waxed and shiny, though. AND, they have stackable beds!
Personally, I think there should be some retroactive stuff going on so that we who had to put up with old technology and old desks could receive a little compensation.
I'm a reasonable person. I'd settle for 10 grand.
Some time I will have to go into detail of the near accident I had driving up from Warsaw...(don't worry, Loren, IT WOULDN't HAVE BEEN MY FAULT!)
Thankfully, I was able to swerve over into the opposite lane (with my left hand, since I was fiddling with the radio) to avoid the person attempting to pull out in front of me--which I must add was TOTALLY his fault.
All I could think of afterword was, "Whew! I didn't mess up Loren's car!"
Loren's parting words to me before leaving were, "If you have to get in an accident, try to crash up the back end. The oil set-up is in the front and if that gets smashed the oil will drain out and the whole engine will be gone."
Words to to cheer a traveling wife, if ever there were some.
So, I would just like to say that--so far--the silver Lincoln is still intact and just in case didn't you catch it the first time, IT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN MY FAULT!
(talk about your adrenaline rushes...)
Well, that's about all for now. Mom and I are going to party like there's no tomorrow. My sister may come over and there's no telling what whoopin' and hollarin' could take place.
Take care and pray for Ma to have a safe trip home tomorrow.
You can pray for Loren's car, too.

I don't know about whoopin' and hollarin', but I'd bet on a lot of laughter and giggling.
Hi Nancy.
Laughter there was.
Nancy has some really excellent lancing stories.
As in Medieval knights...
Not the first topic I would have thought of.
No, I'm afraid it was more of a lancing-infections kinda thing.
(one was about her dog)
Nancy and I just get really weird and silly, sometimes.
