Good morning from Collegeville,
The weather guy used the words Indian Summer this morning. It will be nice to get out and enjoy some sunshine. I have been suffering from some sort of stomach flu all week and I am looking forward to some fresh air.
Two weeks ago, Barby and I went to Barnesville to help celebrate her nephew Seth’s confirmation. Barby’s brother Eddy is one of those unique characters that can make you laugh. He has a supervisors job in Fargo and he told of his latest idea, the “Hurt Feelings Report”. The idea of emailing the HR department to ask about the companies procedure on how to go about filing a “Hurt Feelings Report” struck me as very creative.
Seth’s god father, neighbor Dave, told Eddy that the Biewer’s had named their fifth child Coleman. The Biewer’s own Biewer’s Tractor Salvage in Barnesville and they have named their children after antique tractors. So far they have children named Rumley, Dane, Avery, McCormick and now a Coleman. We debated if they were changing their theme since Coleman is famous for camp stoves, but by checking “Google” I was able to source that indeed Coleman built a tractor many years ago. The only one that did not come up was “Dane”. I tried many variations on the spelling, but still no luck. It might be worth a trip to Barnesville to ask the Biewer’s about their source.
The show this week is live from the Civic Center in DesMoines, Iowa with a French theme. Special guests include the maestros of Cajun music, Beausoleil avec Michael Doucet, French folk chanteuse Francine Roche and accordionist Mark Stillman. The usual cast of characters will be there also. Enjoy the show.
