I’ve had my share of rain (computer problems) this week, but Matt called early in the morning to say that my computer had copied over essential files and that it had been running all night without crashing. I picked it up and started packing the van.
Just goes to show that if you can put up with a little rain, you’re liable to find your yard is packed with rain lilies when the sun comes out. (If you are a flower fan, click on the photo to make it larger.)
Headed back to Cape Wednesday
I’m trying to make it back in town in time for Smelterville’s Vine Street Reunion. I had really hoped to have a video presentation containing the interviews I had done with folks over the past few years, but the hard drive crash cost me too many days.
I will have copies of the latest edition of Smelterville: Community of Love available. Any that are left over after the reunion will be available at Annie Laurie’s Antique Shop at Broadway and Frederick in Cape Girardeau. The price is $20.
Here’s a sneak peek at some of the new pages before some of the typos were fixed and some design elements changed.
You know what I like about that cover photo in comparison to, say, a lot of National Geographic photography? It shows a bit of roads and driveways, and gives a clue that one community is physically connected to another.
BTW, what are those big o-rings on the porch roofs?
John,
Those are bicycle tubes. This was the 1967 equivalent of tying your sneaker laces together and pitching them over a power line.
