Ugly Carpet



I am not going to say that the new carpet that was installed in the new Ingram-Pye Elementary school is the ugliest carpet in the world, but possibly is the worst in Bibb County.

Yes, every classroom has at least 4 different colors in the carpet, including at least one with stripes!

And don't get me started on the rainbow of colors on the walls!

Swimming Party



Yesterday's pool party at Tom and Holly's was a lot of fun. There were about 12 people there or so. We swam, grilled, and munched our way
into happiness.

After supper, we were all surprised at how quickly it cooled off, for a change. We were actually able to enjoy sitting around a campfire till well into the evening.

One odd thing that happened, a whirlwind suddenly came up and launched my two sun shelters into the air. They twirled about like dead leaves in the wind, rising up about 25 or 30 feet into
the air, crashed down for a moment onto some chairs, then took back off, soaring into a fence. It ripped both of the tops and bent the frame a bit, but I think at least one is salvageable. It was so odd, because we were in the pool at the time, and there was absolutely no wind only a few feet away from the shelters!

Happy Independence Day!









Hope you all have a great Fourth of July!


I am off to a cookout and swimming party today at Tom and Holly's house.

Have a safe holiday everyone!

More odd thoughts from Bill Elder

Wow! I just looked at my count and this is post #500 on my blog! You would think that this would be some kind of major milestone that is worthy of a fabulous posting....hmmm, well it should be, but instead, you are only getting a few more odd thoughts from my bud, Bill Elder. Not to say that his thoughts aren't fabulous!

$7 down the drain


Few things irk me more than to waste money.

Tonight, I stopped by the grocery store to buy a few things for the weekend....including some hotdogs for a picnic on the 4th. I get home and guess what is missing from my shopping bags. 2 packs of hotdogs and a few other refrigerator items.

That is why I hate going to these "let us bag it for you" places.
