SOUTHERN ILLINOIS EARTHQUAKE

Since there is a lot of talk about the earthquake, here are a couple of pictures.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH

From Heloise:  "We love to eat butternut squash, and I used to dread cutting it up.  Now I microwave a whole squash for about 5 minute, and it makes the squash easier to cut up.  My recipe is to place cubes of squash in one layer on a cookie sheet.  Drizzle with olive oil and the juice of a lime.  Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees, and turn the cubes.  Bake another 20 minutes, and it's done.   From a Heloise Reader via e-mail."  Rose Ann cut this out to save. 

NO WAY!

I hate snakes and there is NO WAY I would have that snake on me, but Jess and Tyson seem OK with it.  YIKES!  

GRANDMA LUCY IS BACK IN SCOTTSBURG

     I flew back to Scottsburg with Mother Tuesday.  She is doing much better, getting her appetite back and gaining strength.  I helped her check into an assisted living home called The Beehive on Thursday afternoon.  It is very nice and she loves it.  She says she is staying 2 weeks, but could stay longer, if she wishes.  They have no long term contracts and only have 12 rooms.  Very close knit home with plenty of help as needed and great food.  I would say she is thriving there.  I think she is especially enjoying all the special attention she is getting.  We are hoping she will stay a little longer.  I flew back to Norfolk Friday and am enjoying getting back our home.  It was good I was able to help her, but it is good to get back to "normal."  I took some pictures there which I will share.  

GUARD DOG, BEKA, & GOATS

One of my customers at Nucor Cold Finish was a lady from Missouri, Phyllis Williams, and she and her husband raised goats.  She sends me pictures of her "babies" each Spring.  I thought you might enjoy seeing a couple of these pictures.

DAVID & DAD

I just thought this picture of Roger and Davis precious and needed to be shared.  

ONE SIZE FITS ALL

Kaleb looks ready to play T-Ball.  He fit right into that "Giant" shirt.
