Temperature warming up to 24 degrees

Temperatures are rising and it is feeling much warmer than it was!  Anyone ready for the beach?

14 Degrees Below Zero (Brrrrr!)

Things to do when it is so cold outdoors that schools, restaurants, and businesses are all closed. Yes, throw boiling water up in the air.

Kissable Gus-boy!

"All done!"

"...and his glory is exalted far above the earth and sky."  At church we were finishing singing this hymn as a congregation when I hear from the other side of the sanctuary Gus happily exclaiming, "All done!"

12 Year Old Humor

For school Kevin was to correctly punctuate this sentence:
               maria giggled Samson you are the silliest dog I've ever seen
After punctuating the sentence, Kevin read the sentence aloud and changed it to:
               Maria giggled, "Samson, you are the strongest dog I've ever seen."

We have classic 12 year old humor going on here!

Fabyan Windmill Centennial (1915-2015)

Celebrating the 100 years anniversary for the Fabyan Windmill to be located at its current site at the Fabyan Forest Preserve (formerly known as the Riverbank Estate of Col. George & Nelle Fabyan) on Route 25, Geneva, Illinois.  David is in the backrow in front of the windmill about 12th from the right - on the left of the man in the red shirt; Norene and Kevin Moyer are on the upper level, 4th and 5th from the right - Norene is in tan pants and a white shirt and Kevin is to the left of her.

Norski humor

This is a conversation between two Norwegians on the hottest day of the summer.

Norwegian #1: It is supposed to be a HOT day today.  I dressed appropriately.

Norwegian #2:  Did you wear a bikini and a spray bottle of water to mist yourself when you get a little overheated????

Norwegian #1:  No, I wore a one-piece suit - but I did bring a small bottle of water with a fan - worked great.  And, of course, I brought a large bottle of water with ice to drink.  (I wore the black swimsuit - so I would look a bit thinner.)  My office dresses pretty casual...you don't think it is over the top, do you?

Norwegian #2:  It is now acceptable for employees to dress comfortable as their work productivity increases.  I think [your boss] will understand and maybe even promote it!!!  Glad to hear you thought of keeping hydrated!  You are a great employee.  Maybe you'll get a raise for your thinking outside the box??

Norwegian #1:  You are so right!!!  This is EXACTLY the kind of thing [my boss] encourages - thinking OUTSIDE the box.  Do you think I should ask for a raise today or wait a bit?

 Norwegian #2:  It might be good to see if he recognizes your leadership qualities on his own.  Of course if he doesn't, you should mention it being the innovative employee that you have proved to be!

Yes, these Norwegians are two of my sisters.
