Today is NARFE meeting. (National active and retired federal employees.)
I enjoy narfe they are mostly retired postal employees.
It gives me something to look forward to every other month.
They work to help hold our federal pension benefits. I used to belong to league and napus but seems like narfe does more.
I fondly remember all my trips to washington Dc storming the hill on behalf of the postal policies being sent down the pike every week.
Some where good and some not so good. Most postmasters really didn't care. I believed we had a political voice and I felt we shoud use it or loss it.
Politically involved in Osky one day at a time.

I did not take to the computer easily. I thought I was too old to learn new tricks.
But since retiring I am really glad I learned something about using computers. Gives me something to do each day.Check my emails. , write a blog page, reconnect with family and old friends from high school days.
I thought I was too old for facebook and it took a while to get going but it is the greatest thing since sliced bread. All of your friends together and so easy to interact with.
Sort of makes the phone out of date ,but I still like to talk to my girlfriends each day to keep up with what is happening.
One day at a time moving into the future with the modern wonder of technology.

Family Reunions
Today is the Faux family reunion.
I hate reunions.
Ever since I was a little kid I was drug to family reunions and I was the youngest so I got teased a lot.
Did I mention I hate family reunions.
My kids don't like reunions either so I go without them to satisfy my mother.
She is the oldest living faux survivor. At 83 years young. It is now down to the third generation of fauxs. It will not make it to the fourth generation.
Upwards and onwards to the family fun day in Patterson, my old home town.

Another rainy day
Another rainy weekend beginning.
It will make it difficult to do things at the woods in the mud, sometimes we need a rainy day so we will apprciate the sunny days more when we have them and not take them for granted.
Each new day is a blessing from God and we should life each day to the fullest.
Living out our days in Osky one day at at time.

Fresh Veggies
Don dug a hill of potatoes, two small onions, 5 small carrotts and two zuchini for a grilled veggie dish to go with steak for supper. Yummm!!!!
It is so nice to go shopping in my garden for supper.
The timely rains have made my garden look like a jungle. The corn is over our heads and starting to silk with new ears of corn.
Tomatoes are 4 foot tall and full of nice tomatoes but still green.
Beans have climbed the fence but not blooming yet. One large watermellon plant is trying to take over the whole gaden????
From the Garden of Eden to my garden life begins in the garden.

Happy birthday USA
WE camped two nights at Watson Woods but returned home this morning as it had rained all night and looked like a wet 4th of July.
I learned a new way to "Stand by Your man" Even if it meant sitting on the fender of the tractor while he mowed weeds. He even let me drive His tractor a few rounds around the field. He thinks " I think his tractor is Sexy" Am I good or what!!!!!!
He got his turnips planted in July wet or dry so with the rain they should make good deer food plot in the fall.
Now he is building a deer stand while I rest.
Ah the joys of being a farmers wife and still living in the city.

Lazy Days of Summer
Where did the summer go to so fast? Seems like it was such a short cold spring and then summer was here and now its only two months until school starts again.
My garden is out of control. Corn is over my head and the watermellon vine goes on and on .
Beans are climbing the fence to reach the sky and tomatoe look like a jungle. But oh how good to taste the fruits of your summer labors.It is a cold wonderful summer day in Iowa so I think I'll go for a walk and along the way stop and smell the flowers.
Ah!!! Summer in Iowa . It doesn't get much better then this.
