7/18/27 Darel and I didn't worry about keeping up with the Jones. We maintained our faith, worked to raise our sons to be hard working Christian men and cared for our land.

 Thin clouds, calm, 58 degrees.  A strong south breeze today, a high of 70, low 62.  Cloudy today with some showers, mostly late afternoon, evening and overnight. We may see a shower around eight this morning.  Thunderstorms may compete with Bradford Days fireworks. Partly cloudy tomorrow, a WNW wind, high 75, low 55.  Partly cloudy Monday, a strong WNW breeze, high 78, low 56.  Mostly cloudy Tuesday, a south wind, high 78, low 62. Thunderstorms Wednesday, a brisk south breeze, high 79, low 62. 50% chance of showers Thursday, a brisk west breeze, high 78, low 56.  Partly cloudy Friday and the weekend, WSW breezes, highs in the low to mid eighties. Lows 59.  Cloudy with a chance of showers Monday the 27th through Thursday the 28th.  Pleasant Friday the 31st and the weekend.  NW breezes all week, highs around 80. lows around 60.

     Darel and I had some hard times, don't we all?   Mostly we were happy, thankful for and enjoying our family.  I think today's world needs more faith, more gratitude and more willingness  to work.  I am thankful my family seems to have all three.

    Cool is good for Bradford Days.  Showers are back in the forecast.  We're hoping we can have our cake and eat it too.  We need rain but it would be nice if the showers held off until late afternoon.The pig scramble is at four, 41% chance of a shower  I guess we'll know at nine whether the fireworks come from lightning or gunpowder.  The Country Junction float will be leaving for the ten o'clock parade in an hour or so.  It is not supposed to rain on the parade.  I will be here to greet customers who come why everyone else is at the parade.  Hopefully I can also help them. Vegetables are self service.

    May your day be blessed, Sally
