Grandson Mitchell, who is starting his freshman year at Iowa State University, might tryout for the football team as a “walk-on”. Your Mom and I would have to drive a long way to watch a Big 12 game.
Grasshopper No.2 is officially homeless. She sold her house. Selling a house seems so simple and is always so hard. Where does all the “stuff” come from? Now No.2 can breathe.
I happened to be in Ripon this week visiting a good friend. It was the same day that an auction was being held for the final sale of equipment used for baking cookies at Rippin’ Good Cookies. Ovens. Mixers. Packaging equipment. The era of baking cookies is officially over.
Your Mom and I headed for Fort Atkinson yesterday. The Fireside dinner theater was featuring “Singin’ In the Rain”. It is a comedy and features Lina Lamont who is a Hollywood star with a stunning body and a “10 cent” screeching voice. Grasshopper No.5 can do an amazing voice imitation of Lina. The screech in Lina’s voice sends chills up your spine.
Here is the question. Our courtesy subscription to Sirius Radio runs out in October. We turned on station “05” yesterday on the way to Fort Atkinson. “05” is steady 1950’s music. Your Mom and I listened to 50’s music for several hours. It sounds like we are getting hooked. Could this be addictive. What are we going to do with the subscription runs out? What are we going to do?
Packers still undefeated. They haven’t played “first stringers”. No major injuries. Two remaining pre-season games. So far, so good.
Love,
Dad
