Here are two copies of our local paper. The one in the back is from 1995 and the smaller version is from this week. Over the years, the pages have gotten smaller, and the newer paper even has less pages. The price? Today, this paper will cost $.75 an issue. Back then? I'm not sure yet. The first half of the 1995 issues are missing. I know it would be less than $.50/issue.

The opposite side of this barn (same end) has roofing missing from the tornado winds that came through about 2 years ago.

Have a blessed weekend!
We have lots of work to complete this weekend. Today is a bit cooler than yesterday.
(Still haven't found my flash drive case)

Shock, Horror, and Despair
Imagine that you are a writer. You just wrote two novels back to back. You don't have an extra flash drive, so you are saving it to one you have hundreds, possibly thousands, of short published articles on.
You have it in a case with your only other flash drive, because you are in a hurry to get it to your editor. It's thunder storming and you are running across the street to the door to deliver it.

Porch Pals
Barn cats Sapphire and Aurora. They join me at the porch every day. If fact, if anyone is on the porch, they arrive in a few minutes to join.
Gus. His favorite place is the rug on the front porch. Here he's been drooling. We were grilling out and having dinner on the porch.
