Today was cooler again. Nice for working. Seems like the only thing you hear lately is the election coming up in November. I think this will be a real important one. Our tomatoes still aren’t ripe like everyone else seems to have ripe ones. Corn is later this year too. I think it’s almost ready…

Weather is getting somewhat better in the 20’s. Gas has gone down to $1.16 a gallon for awhile anyway. Our church had a roller skating party last night; we had a lot off fun. Helen’s first time on roller skates. Keith is working 3-11 shift for awhile I guess. Can’t wait for some good outside…
