News from Pigeon Falls
The little town in my basement where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life is back to normal.Herman has had no further visions but then he has been sober, well as sober as Herman gets. His wife has convinced him that if he comes home drunk again that is the end. Pigeon Falls may not end but his world will.
Tommy UK continues to try to solve the mystery of driblet 300 which is somehow connected to a
bird, a rocking chair, and a cow. He keeps reminding the Tommy Club that the shadow hasn’t started yet so they need to use this time to figure out how to stop it. The first thing they do when they get together is read the driblet out loud. Then they each take a copy and brainstorm. This gives some really weird ideas a chance to surface. For example one of them came up with this:so the big BLACK bird is going to come flying over Pigeon Falls (cormorant or otherwise) and DIE ... (that would make it the wrong bird for Pigeon Falls)... FALLING to the ground taking out a field of cows AND old Mrs. Pemberthy's rocking chair. NOW the town will have to change it's name to Cormorant Falls... thus, Pigeon Falls will cease to exist
And another this:
I think I've got the puzzle! Blackbirds off their rocker often land in cow poop! Right?
Brainstorming rules out nothing and allows ideas to flow.
Tammy saw the Da Vinci Code on television Saturday night. So she is all into symbols and hidden meanings. She is researching birds, rocking chairs, and cows as symbols.
Wrap Up:
Oxygen was back up in low normal range. In the morning I got caught up in a CSI rerun during the breathing treatment so I got to the computer later than usual. I tried Quilly's riddle but it just gave me a headache. It will be obvious when she explains it. I did some blog reading looking for interesting facts. In the afternoon Betty and I worked on the layout. We added lights to the farm, to the tree sales lot, we animated the man cutting down the tree, and arranged for the lights on the cemetary fence to light. We also pulled one set of track and redid another. We really got a lot done. The loggers cabin still needs lights but I think that's about it. Tommorow we put in the forest. Then i went online and ordered a scanner. Then visited my links. Now I need a breathing treatment
God Bless You All.

Dr. John, your apparent lack of sarcasm is under whelming. ;)
I do love your memes. You always have entertaining answers, though I think you got one wrong. The question was, "Do you consider yourself strong?" And I believe your answer should have been, "Yes, in my Faith."
However, no matter how much I enjoy your blog and respect you as a person and a pastor, I will not be trying any of your French Toad for breakfast.
A seer sees. Sounds to me like Alex Gregnicov gave Herman an endorsement through Petrovich. Joke is on Petrovich.
You would NEVER be sarcastic ... nope ... not a bit of it!
How can you NOT be strong? You've got the strength of Jesus backing you up! YOU can do ALL things through HE who gives you STRENGTH!!! That makes you strong...
Ham & Jam... who taught you that?
You mean there really IS saffron buns? LOL! I don't even know what saffron is or what it tastes like! Now I'm going to have to go on an explore.
And you definitely have TALENT with words! Talent for playing with them! Entertaining with them. Preaching them. BIG talent.
Well, The One is not Herman -- it's NOT the seer. Even though he dreams... The One dreams... Tommy hasn't reported any dreams lately... Of course, Grengicoff was a seer AND had dreams - maybe he was seeing HIMSELF as The One. He's from the past ... I don't know - but now MY head hurts and I think I need a drink!
Yet again you have a great Saying for the Day - though there are some places where you can neither drink the water nor breathe the air! They must be super-civilised!!!
Scary movies or happy endings? Scary movies with happy endings,
Now I liked this answer to the question.
A Blessed day for you and Betty
"In an underdeveloped country, don't drink the water; in a developed country, don't breathe the air."
lol and I guess you could add, in the underdeveloped country don't piss in the water, in the developed countries we recycle (and drink) what we piss.
I really enjoyed learning more about you. :)
great meme! plus I love cheeseburgers with relish too!!! on a toasted bun......umm ummm
snow??? you got snow?
phew, and we have dragonflies flying around!
I would say your special talent is storytelling. I'm with ya on the hugging and kissen...
I called Pat (asked Pete several times but he never does things as quick as I would like) and told him we would be there not on Thursday for Thanks. because we will be at my mom's but plan to come Friday and Sat.
Wizard of Oz is on this weekend three times! Pete says Forest Park is playing at the dome Sat. night...he wants to go. Wanna go with him?
That quote is right on the mark and pretty shot of your first snow dusting of the year. Glad your oxygen was in the normal range.
I was also named after my grandfather which has resulted in many people thinking I'm a man if they haven't met me. Quite a few bloggers think I'm a man and are surprised when I post a picture or refer to myself as a mother or some other little hint that I'm female.
The saying of the day if perfect. I can't believe you've had snow. I'm not looking forward to that at all! I loved your sarcasm-less answers. Thanks for the laughter. BJ
P.S. And the ring story? Sadly, it's true.
We had our first snow today, too. Just a dusting on the rooftops, but it stayed all day. I'm starting to get in the mood for some real snow.
My favorite color is also green, I weep too when the movie is sad, my handwriting is so bad that, sometimes, I cannot read it myself and right now I am going to steal this meme from you and make my next poste.
The train whistle in the night is my fav too. I only hear it in the summer when the windows are open, usually 3 am ish...it's really far away but in the still of the night I hear it and love it.
From now on when I'm uncertain of a passage I'm coming to YOU - BEFORE Sunday!
Wish we had gotten snow. :(
Loved the meme -
John James Audubon - we studied him in grade school so many years ago. I loved watching for the birds we needed to try and find. That brought such good memories for me.
Love your humor - wish I could convey it like you.
I have learned more from reading your blog. that is why I made it a habit to drop by...hope everything is doing well with you and Betty.
your much awaited comment in my blog , inspire me to write and continue blogging..
If your answer to the riddle isn't the right one, it sure should be! Very very good :D
