First Lady

I watched Nancy Reagan's funeral tonight. I suppose she was the one of first First Ladies I truly remember. This was such a nice remembrance of her. Each person who spoke, did such a good job. It was nice.

10 Things I Didn't Know

10 Things You Didn’t Know About Evansville


1. Evansville was originally called McGary’s Landing.

Hugh McGary began a town on the Ohio River and called it McGary’s Landing in 1812. McGary’s Landing was renamed Evansville in 1814 to sound more attractive to potential land buyers. Hugh McGary renamed the town in honor of Colonel Robert Morgan Evans.

2. The wife of Evansville’s founder is buried under the Old Jail parking lot.

The corner of Fourth Street and Vine Street was originally a cemetery. Years later, a church was being constructed over the cemetery. When digging the foundation, the construction workers found a woman buried. The locals immediately recognized the woman as Mary McGary, who was Hugh McGary’s wife. They recognized her because of her bright red hair. It was decided that Mary was to remain and the church’s foundation was built over her. The church was later bulldozed and the parking lot to the Old Jail was built over it.

3. The Fall Festival is not the second largest street festival in America.

We hate to break your little Hoosier heart. Sorry! Paul Harvey once made a remark about the Fall Festival being second only to Mardi Gras, but that wasn’t based on any facts. But don’t worry, you can still enjoy your deep-fried twinkie or brain sandwich without the Fall Festival’s untrue claim to fame.

4. Humans have lived in the Evansville area since 8,000 BCE.

Archaeologists have found artifacts dating back to 8,000 BCE. Most Tri-State residents are familiar with Angel Mounds, but those mounds weren’t built until 900 A.D. to about 1600 A.D.

5. The Old Courthouse is built on the Wabash and Erie Canal.

The Wabash and Erie Canal was a failed project that thrust Indiana into bankruptcy. The canal fell into disrepair and in 1891 the Old Courthouse was built on it.

6. Bosse Field is the third-oldest baseball stadium in regular use.

What local doesn’t enjoy a steamy summer night at Bosse Field watching the Evansville Otters play? The only ballparks older than Bosse Field still in regular use are Fenway Park and Wrigley Field.

7. Wesselman Woods is the largest virgin forest in any American city.

Wesselman Woods consists of 240 acres and contains trees that are over 400 years old. This park is the largest uncut tract of virgin forest inside any city limits in the United States.

8. The Old Jail is modeled after a castle in Lichtenstein.

Liechtenstein Castle is located on a cliff in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The architect of the Old Jail and Old Courthouse, Henry Wolters, is said to have grown up near the castle and admired its design. If you ever want to see the inside of the Old Jail, stop by Woods & Woods during working hours and we’ll give you a tour.

9. Evansville was once in Warrick County.

Warrick County was once much larger. Warrick County not only encompassed Evansville but Posey, Vanderburgh, Spencer, Perry and part of Crawford counties.

10. The first American soldier killed in WWI was from Evansville.

On November 3, 1917, the first American soldier died in World War I. Cpl. James Bethel, an Evansville native, was killed in France during a raid. Cpl. Bethel is buried in Locust Hill Cemetery here in Evansville.

Thought of The Day

Be conscious of your treasures!

Getting Things Done

My son texted me today, asking how my weekend was going. I replied "Getting things done... Power tools and spray paint!".

Then I had to confess that I only own one power tool, a drill.
The world is safer that way!

But spray paint is always a handyman ego builder, I like that it makes boring things look pretty!!!

***Update*** I have two power tools! I own "The Wand of Wonder"!! Its a huge bread slicing knife...that you sculpt foliage with. So watch out World!!!

Quote of The Day

Be bold. Take what you want in life, never walk way from it.

Good Morning?

The darling that never looked
as she came flying around the corner into my lane of tragic.
She had a STOP sign, that she must not have felt was for her.
She nearly t-boned me. I guess she didn't see my Jolly Green Giant right in front of her. I kindly swerved and moved out of her way. Then when she realized she hadn't looked and that she had failed to stop, she pulled over. I sat still and motioned for her to lead the way. I sure didn't want her behind me! Scary!!
I'm hoping she paid better attention as she went along.

Did you know that it is recommended to vacuum
your carpet once each
week per the number
of people in your home!

I bet my puppy
counts as a people!

SAMs

I had a 12:00 outing with a friend today. We wondered through the hordes of people at Sam's club. It was rather fun taking our time and looking at new things. I am usually on a mission with list in hand, able to make it in and out within 15 minutes. This was nice!

Hmmmm!

Newport, KY is the "Sin City" of the South!
Very interesting! I think I would like to see this for my self!

Oh My Goodness! Oh My Goodness!

You know that your Thursday is off when:

You call a vendor to make a payment and they can't find your information...only to find that you have called a different vendor than you are needing.

You are giving booking numbers for a reservation and you give the info like a pro...in some language other than one anyone recognizes. Causing you and the rep to laugh and laugh.

You work on restocking and are feeling good about the speed and efficiency of your work. But when you go to wash the dust and ink off your hands you notice that you are wearing two different earrings. And they are not little earrings but large dangle ones. (I had to make sure at that point that my shoes matched!) And I had already had clients at my desk!!

Can I just say that I am so ready for this day to be over!!!

I am

MaRCH 1st

It's time to start the garden!! This year will be the best garden yet!
I'm so excited!!!

Just do it!

I love Albert

He RePLieD

I have just recently started using Siri on my cell phone. I have changed Siri from the chick to a hot Australian man. His voice almost makes me want to ask questions all day!
Over the week end I was running errands and asked him were there was a hair salon to get my hair done. He replied...


Yep...he's perfect!

So TRue
