One of the joys of Springdale for Kipp is having coffee with the local "boys" at Frank and Treva's store/diner, the Kountry Korner. I decided to join him this morning to see what the "pulse" of Springdale felt like. Being the only girl in the place makes me feel at home and the conversation blows about between friendly put-downs and global solutions.
We had a day on the farm. Sam and Rylee ran the circuit between the pool and trampoline, Trevor created explosive devices, Hannah "hung out" with cousin Dana, I weeded, and so it goes. Kipp was the chef for the party of 15 tonight. The menu included halibut, salmon, and shrimp. Kipp loves having full run of the kitchen with his Mom hovering like a sous-chef.

Fireworks on the fourth are a tradition around here, but the gang graciously waited for the Norris family to finish their wandering before moving ahead with plans. It was a little show, but it was fun.

Sounds like the oblong table at the Totem every morning, with the male old timers solving all the world problems. What did the locals think about the Sarah Palin resignation? Nancy made a global decision this week: Stop serving hot soup at the Cache this beautiful hot summer. Why? you ask. She does not want to contribute to "global warming". Have a wonderful Sunday. We are still dealing with: What I believe! Hi to all. dan and nancy
ReplyDeleteWe're excited to see new puppy pictures! :) I had to stop reading the "Critters and Crooks" note to the girls as it got to the PG section! That's awful.
