i posted some pictures of Laura Ingalls Wilder's house and grave. They had a musuem there to. This is really a authors gem. The house was full of her things, as well as the musuem. The house was left just as she left it. She had another house that her daugher Rose had built for her, but Laura thought it was to much for her. It was one of those house kits they sold long time ago. Like a stone house. really pretty. It was really funny how the whole time I couldn't think of anything but how Laura beat Nellies as over Almonzo in the movie.

I want to stay in the house and not come out until winter. It is so hot here we have not mowed the yard in nearly 3 weeks. the grass is dead. the only reason my flower bed is not is because I water them every night. I heard Brooklyn, NY had a tornado?? the news said Brooklyn, NY has not seen a tornado in over 100 years. Hmmmmm... whats going on with the weather? I just want fall to start and the temps to fall. All the hummingbirds are getting water from my fish pond among other birds and cats. I try to leave them water in the bird bath, but it dries as soon as you spray it.

Gonna cook outside this evening to keep the house cool.
I've already got all the blinds closed , they have been closed to keep the heat out. Heat warnings are everywhere.
Let the cooler temps come soon.

Yes its almost the end of the week, and I had the lovely job of going to the supermarket today. There was a Amish family in front of me. The Amish are really common here. Its not unusual to see the horses and buggies. I always slow my Jeep down, so not to scare the horses. They always wave in a way of saying thank you. I find them really interesing people. Some of them are the hard core Amish as others are not that strict. These I don't think were some of the very strict but I don't know that. The ladies were looking at material while the men were looking at jars. I encountered several as you can tell in the store. I must say I do respect them, I don't think I would want to live without some of the things I enjoy today, especially air conditioning and heating, oh and of course automobiles.
They were very nice people , they wouldn't make to much eye contact with anyone. Although when I smiled they did smile back. I must say though that their way of living must keep them in shape because I think a few of the elders looked in better shape than some of the 20 year olds i know. Very Fit.
One time I was antique shop and noticed a few Amish women shopping in their as well. I smiled at them as I was trying to walk by them to go to their other shelf and they looked at me as if they feared me when they walked really fast away. i though whats with them. I just wanted to get by, well my friend that was with me that day informed me of my shirt that I had on. I had been at one of my childrens football games and had on my mascot t-shirt which is a red devil. we laughed all the way out of the store. I didn't realize , wonder what they thought of me having that shirt on. Not knowing this was our school mascot. Never occured to me.
