Finally Friday

  Good morning! Barely. Almost noon and I'm just now getting around to posting. We have another heat wave coming. Yay. (insert sad face here) Feels like August or September. I'll try not to complain because I know when it gets cold I will be miserable. I will miss the sun and the heat.

 Maybe not this much heat though!

Then there was this.....

too dang cold!

Guess it's the price we pay for living in these fine Ozarks. Seriously, having four seasons etc. but the plain old fact is ...it's home.

Been home for this family since 1837 plus or minus a year or 2. That's 174 years. Guess we're meant to be here. We're 5th generation Missourian on dad's side and 8th generation American on both sides. We're only 3rd generation Missourian on Momma's side as they were a  little slow making their way to Missouri. They really liked Indiana. lol  Pop's daddy came down here from Indiana. One of his (Albert's)uncles was in Springfield by 1900. Maybe he was here when Albert came or maybe Albert came with the uncles and his family.

Sparky sure was a good dog.
