Norman's leg is sore; he didn't go. We sat on porch until 9:15 p.m. Went to bed at 10:00.
At least there was no mention this time of anybody not feeling good, except for maybe Norman whose leg was sore. Ahh, the good ole days, when people walked about town and people sat on porches, visited each other and went to get ice cream.

I am unsure who Will Powell and wife are, but they have shown up here a lot recently and I am confused by the Saturday post where Bonnie mentions that Will and Betty were still in bed.

Just a couple of things that struck me this go around. Do you know any doctors in 2011 that would talk to you in their office for almost an hour? I sure don't. Yay for Dr. Burke and why can't there be more like him today? Also, Bonnie writes about great floods and tornadoes in south and west. We have experienced the same things, though maybe not limited to south and west, in 2011. They say it's because of global warming, but you know it was happening in 1927 too. I do some late night snacking too, maybe that's where I get it from!

Came down stairs and got cakes and candy at 11:30.
Just a couple of things that struck me this go around. Do you know any doctors in 2011 that would talk to you in their office for almost an hour? I sure don't. Yay for Dr. Burke and why can't there be more like him today? Also, Bonnie writes about great floods and tornadoes in south and west. We have experienced the same things, though maybe not limited to south and west, in 2011. They say it's because of global warming, but you know it was happening in 1927 too. I do some late night snacking too, maybe that's where I get it from!
