Another Monday again

Saying for the day: Believe it or not there are some nice people in this world and they blog.

It’s Monday and time to do another drawing for the prize box. Since nobody had won as of Sunday we are adding another house and a few little items to the village. When Betty gets up and does the drawing we will know if Andrenea will win the whole box.



Then Betty will draw for today’s prizes.
We wanted something that was really priceless (worthless) and we found these two wonderful Stink Blasters.

How much more priceless can you get.





Now a few comments on the Marathon.

First: I am sorry it took so long to tally up the comments.
I will do better next month if At&T cooperates.

Second: I am very proud of our blog family.
Over and over I read very nice comments that clearly showed you had read the blog and not just dumped a comment and went on.
Pat yourself on the back.

Third: The refrigerator magnets are all done and some are being mailed out today.
The rest wait for addresses .
I need addresses for Bella, Nea, and Stacy. You can e-mail them to me at linnajohn@sbcglobal.net.
Do not put them in the comments since anybody can read the comments.

Fourth: I had loads of fun and hope you did too.

News from Pigeon Falls – the little town in my backyard with a man made out of stone.—Eino went to the registrar of deeds and looked up the name of the Chicago Hermit only to find that the Chicago Company that said they knew nothing are the owners of the house. Isn’t that odd. Eino tried all day to get them but nobody answered.
Eino also had a friend at the telephone company check on the Hermit’s calls and they were all local. There were no long distance calls at all. In or out.
In the afternoon a lady got off of the 4:00 train and went to take Robert’s taxi. She said she wanted to go to the Stenwall home. Robert told her there was no Stenwall home that he knew of. She produced a map and the house on the map was the Chicago Hermit’s house. Robert took her to Eino’s garage. She told Eino she was Robert Stenwall’s sister and she was concerned because eher brother hadn’t called for a long time and wasn’t answering her calls. Eino said the house phone was out of order. She said she always called on his cell phone. So Robert and Eino took her out to the house. She counted the rocks in the front yard and then selected one. It was hollow with a key inside.
Eino went into the house with her and as they came into the living room she fainted. Robert brought some water and she quickly revived. “I told him it was dangerous” she said. Then she told Eino and Robert they could leave. “I’ll stay here tonight” she said. In the morning I’ll call some of the family and see what we should do. Eino said “we can’t leave you in the house unless you show some identification”. She showed Eino what looked like a valid driver’s license . Eino took down the number and then he and Robert left. They will try to get more information from her in the morning.

Today was the day to go to the doctor. This is always a scarey time for me. The doctor did his usual things. I told him I was having more trouble breathing than usual so he ordered an x-ray, which I had taken today. And he ordered blood tests which I will have done tomorrow . I have to fast twelve hours before taking them. We did a little cleaning in the garage. A couple came to look at the house but they wern't impressed. My daughter had her arm put in a cast after yesterday's fall and we are waiting for more information. Well I need a breathing treatment.
