Paradise, circa 1947

My co-worker, Kari, brought in an old Paradise Post from 1947 that her parents found in the wall of their house over by the hospital. It was hilarious to read the articles and see what constituted news back in the day. Things like who had company over and what they did, surprise baby showers, people going on vacation, and a bunch of stuff about Germany. I jut had to take some photos to share:An old ad from the Taylor's Meats store:
What a piece of history! I might actually still read the Post if they still had funny articles like these.

Tonight was bible study at Kari's house and while I drove down her driveway I was brought to a halt by a flock of about 20 wild turkeys running across the driveway. The closer I tried to get to them, the further away they shuffled. I just wanted them to sit pretty for a picture.
Kari hates the turkeys because they're loud gobblers, but this was my first time seeing them so I was all enthralled with them. They really are ugly though.

The highlight of the evening of course was bringing home the newest six pack of deliciousness that my Mom dropped off for the Canadian. She said the workers at the liquor store all know why she buys the beers and now ask how Chris liked the last bunch. I think this new batch has some real potential so stay tuned for some of the Canadian's hop-induced reviews.
