The Days Wrap UP :

Well that was fast. Somebody who never left a comment before has picked the right answer. The entire blog couldn't have been up more than ten minutes. I just can't run contests. Well pick one anyway then check the comments for the right answer. It's the first comment. Darn, I made it too easy. Melli I wish but it was a Marx. Janvangogh the next time I have coffee with Tommy UK's dad I'll ask about his brother, Tommy's uncle
Pennie, Betty and I went out for lunch to Red Robyn. Great hamburgers but far too big for me. I brought half of one home. In the afternoon we played three handed canasta. There was Pennie, Betty, and, of course, me. I was ahead for the entire game. Once by over a thousand points. But on the last hand Betty passed me and won. Some days you can't get any luck. Two of my sister's grandsons who were involved in some kind of scavenger hunt called to ask what my dogs name was when I was a kid. Now I need a breathing treatment.

News from Pigeon Falls-The little town in my basement where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life is back to normal. Pigeon Falls Days began yesterday..
Mrs. Trumble announced this morning that after talking to Dr. Fortress she has decided to add potato sculpting to the list of Pigeon Day events. It will cost $2.00 to enter. Each entrant will be given a large potato and a sharp knife ( no special tools allowed). Contest to take place August 9th from 10:00 to 12:00. Winner will receive a gift certificate for $25,00 and his sculpture will automatically be entered in the county fair.
Petrovich , who is back from Green Bay, announced that in honor of Pigeon Falls Days he is going to translate a driblet that may have something to do with the early history of the town.
Aili Sorry , the town’s defacto historian, says that she has been reading old issues of the “Bird Seed” and discovered that from 1900 until around 1930 there were numerous sightings of a large white rabbit wearing a sweater. The sweater was not always the same color but was reported as being pink, green, and blue. The sightings were almost all along the railroad tracks. Then in 1930 the sightings suddenly stopped. She can’t find any reason in the paper for the sightings to have ended. They just did. It could be that the new editor who took control in April of 1930 thought they were so much foolishness and refused to print them . But there is no editorial; to that effect.
