It's Not Boasting But Giving Credit

Ahhh... The holiday weekend is over and I am glad to return to the calmer everyday life mode.. Last week was spend preparing food for visiting family on 3 different occasions and Memorial Day playing in a mixed couples scramble of golf in over 97 degree temps of which I find it hard to struggle through... Today's temps are only to travel to the low 70's as our year continues to be unpredictable...
     Friday we will be traveling to Columbus as the Tinora High School guys baseball team will be playing at State the afternoon... I am not boasting but just want to give credit to this group of talented young guys that have made it to State the past 2 years....
     Temps for Friday are fore casted for the 60's ... and our area continues to beg for rain as our lawns and fields and foliage's continue to struggle... I am so glad to be back to the simple life... Choosing lifestyles and where one feels comfortable setting down and making a nest is very different for everyone... When I travel to the city as we will this weekend or view programming such as HGTV 's " Selling New York" or " Selling LA" I never ceased to be amazed at the extreme amount of money one is willing to pay to be sardined into a very tiny congested space... Compared to the casual manner of our home and living style ... I do wonder how one ever manages to achieve any balance with the extreme pace... Even when our farm life is at high demand during planting season and of course the fall harvest the iron horses of heavy machinery just travel across the fields taking in harvest at a steady pace... With imagination I have placed myself in a busy city and when traveling to a city or busy life within a few hours I am always saying " can we go home now"... as I want to return to the harmony of country living... As our little country school ... The Tinora Rams travel to the big city of Columbus I am sure we will all experience city living for a day or two with our vehicles all armed with GPS's.. I pads and phones and travel information as we don't have a clue where we are going, I may want to give fair warning to the Huntington Park area... be on the lookout for aliens all dressed in green garb as we are about to invade your area...
     Regardless of what our fancy and where we live... the main key to happiness is to enjoy our blessings and the moments they bring...
     When we all get to the Huntington Park where the games will be played the one most wonderful thing will be we will all know and greet one another and become one big unit.... The most wonderful part of being small town USA....
