Went down by the river today and saw this. It's a 50 pound flat head catfish that was caught on a trot line.
You never know what you'll see. :)

More rain today. I stopped at the park for a while and enjoyed the cooler air.

It's that time of the year. I saw this as I drove by today and almost sneezed! :)

rain
It rained yesterday and this morning. It ended, though, and it was back up to the high 90's by this afternoon. It was good while it lasted.

donate blood
The sign says "police vs. fire - donate blood today." I didn't see anyone near it, though. I guess there was a fire somewhere. :)

Fat Rabbit Recording
This was the first and, as far as I know, the only recording studio in Van Buren. I haven't heard anything about it in years. The original owner was a doctor that died years ago.

guitar
My oldest one has really gotten interested in the guitar. He goes between that, a tuba and the piano. :)

I don't see how these guys make it in the heat. When I left school today (1st day back to work) the temperature on the parking lot was 107!

hot air
This looks nice, but you should have been there! It was well over 100f today.

12 Year Old Cal Ripken World Series
I had forgotten that this was going on until I walked out of Wal-Mart Friday night and saw this on the sky.
Wasn't able to get any good shots inside the complex, but here it is. There are many fields in there.

I saw some of it on ESPN yesterday, too.

bookcases
I was inspired by Annie's post on August 7.
This is in our den.
This is a corner in our bedroom.
This is a storage room.
Cook books.
Music books.
These are books in John's room.
These are in my daughters' room.
These are in James' room...
and these are in the head of his bed.

train
This is a tourist train, the Arkansas & Missouri line. It runs from Van Buren to North-West Arkansas. I've worked on it before and have ridden on it, too. It's a lot of fun to see another way to get up there besides the highway.

hot!
Summer is really here now. Combine this with the humidity, and it's hard to breathe!

camp
I worked this week at a day camp for handicapped kids. I've done so for the last three days and I love it. I have as much fun as they do. :)
