2019 July 17 Wednesday in Cutty’s, Grimes, Iowa

73° and 93% humidity with an EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING! still in affect. It had reached the upper 70s before the storm blew through. Then It quickly dropped to 65°. But managed to race up to 84° by afternoon.

Can you feel the heat coming from that white hot ball of fire this morning? Goodness gracious, Great Balls of Fire!*

I had the joy of working the fee booth from 8 to 2:30 today. The booth is basically a greenhouse than magnifies the heat of the sun. With the predicted high of 94°, this maybe a very “special” day. (as it turned out, the storm cooled it and the 94 never happened)

Around 11 o’clock these wicked looking clouds rolled in.

Then they took inn this shape.

And they brought wind and rain with them.

Just another fun filled day in Iowa.

I was off work at 2:30 and Ella as just returning from the Grimes senior center and Wal-Mart.

She beat me again. We played several rounds after we returned home and before my afternoon nap.

This is the Wednesday night Mexican Train dominoes group. They gather at Cutty’s Adult Center. Ella played while I relaxed on the couch and worked on Sunday’s sermon.

I missed whatever sunset there may have been tonight.

God bless and g’nite

*You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain

Too much love drives a man insane
You broke my will, oh what a thrill
Goodness gracious great balls of fire

I learned to love all of Hollywood money
You came along and you moved me honey
I changed my mind, looking fine
Goodness gracious great balls of fire

You kissed me baby, woo, it feels good
Hold me baby, learn to let me love you like a lover should
You’re fine, so kind
I’m a nervous world that your mine mine mine mine

I cut my nails and I twiddle my thumbs

I’m really nervous but it sure is fun
Come on baby, you drive me crazy
Goodness gracious great balls of fire

Well kiss me baby, woo-oooooo, it feels good
Hold me baby
I want to love you like a lover should
You’re fine, so kind
I got this world that you’re mine mine mine mine

I cut my nails and I twiddle my thumbs
I’m real nervous ’cause it sure is fun
Come on baby, you drive me crazy
Goodness gracious great balls of fire
