News from Pigeon Falls-The little town in my basement where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life is back to normal. Some one suggested the Pigeon Falls dragons feel neglected as the crowds to view them have dwindled in the past few days. So last night they put on a a performance that will make all those who missed it sorry. It started with the smallest of the young dragons flying higher than usual. Then breathing fire it tumbled toward the earth making rings of fire in the sky. It pulled out of its dive just before crashing into main street. One spectator said it reminded him of a passenger pigeon. This was followed by the other young dragon doing the same thing. Then they went back to the end of the street , flew high and did the tumbling together. It was unbelievable.
Everyone coming into Nancy’s today was talking about it. The few that saw it were telling how fantastic it was and the rest were wishing they had been there. With every telling the dragons went higher and the turns got fancier. There is nothing like a good story , told and retold, to grow on its own. One lady said that she heard that they almost set the Masonic Building on fire. Which, of course, is just not true.
Buddy East announced that the winner or winners of the Liar’s Club writers contest would be announced on Tuesday. By then he should have the plaque done. He does want to thank all the writers and all of this years judges .

Today's Link-The Squamata Report-
In the morning I made another loaf of banana bread. It turned out very well. I almost have the recipe down just a little more fine tuning. In the afternoon I worked on the plaque for the winner of the writer's contest. Betty and Pennie went to Barnes and Noble and got some books. I visited all my links. Now I need a breathing treatment.
