Here are pictures for quiz #3. How are they connected?
The pictures yesterday were of places where Dad, and sometimes Mom, would have lunch. The building in Clara City was the community cafe. That is where Mom and Dad were eating when the phone call came in about the fire at the farm. Terry and I actually had a lunch there a few years ago on a trip but as one can see it is now a taxidermist place. The larger building used to be the Veblen Senior Citizen center where Mom and Dad spent a lot of time. When Mom got to the point where she did not want to go places Dad would walk up to get the mail and then stop at the center to have coffee and gab. Often he would go for lunch and then bring lunch home to Mom. Today it is a bar and grill where many of the dairy worker in the areas will stop for lunch. As I mentioned yesterday, no lunch pails in this day and age. The dairy that I mention is where 20,000+ cows are milked and the milking goes 24/7. The pictures today have a HUGE connection and a HUGE impact on Veblen.
Yesterday Terry and I enjoyed our second day of BLTs with tomatoes out of the garden. I am guessing we will need to eat BLT sandwiches 3 times a day and MANY to even use a small amount of the tomatoes coming out of the garden. Well of course we will not do that.
I had a second guy come over yesterday to talk about the front yard. He had a different opinion of what should be done. He is sure the lawn is infested with grubs and even with new sod one would need to get rid of them. He saw my pickup and said that is a hot item today. He gave me the name of a company that puts those kind of vehicles on an Internet auction. He said the mag wheels are worth almost as much as the pick up! Did he know what he was talking about? I think he did but I am not sure! Anyway he will send me an estimate for the lawn early next week.
No I need to get on Bentley as I missed yesterday and I need the exercise. At 62 I may need a light jacket but then with my FP gone I may stay warm.
