There were no postcards this week at Sweets Column Winslow, Ind. 47598. The Patoka River was up to almost full, but when we drove by lately its halfway full or empty, depend- ing on how you see it. The light- ening bugs are out as of Sun- day night, and we have two hummingbirds at the feeders. Our squirrel had a nut in his mouth sit- ting in a tree, and the mos- quitoes are out in force from day to night in our area. For results of the Poe- hlein Spring Bass Tourna- ment, see the Press-Dispatch sports section. The next fall tourney is September 8 from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. May 5 was also the Road Riders for Jesus Craft Show, where the Glezen Revival Center was packed with all types of crafts where Norm and I got a few items for Mothers Day gifts and some needed mosquito repellent made up of different oils. So far, it works on me. Sunday was a great day when Laura and Kyana, and a friend, came over for piz- za and a homemade cake as we all caught up on things that have gone on in our lives. They also saw the pink flags in bloom and the white flag bloomed on Tuesday. The plowed up flower gar- den has some starts com- ing up and the rose bush- es have buds starting on some bushes. The lilac tree was pretty with its clusters of purple and the trees are giving more shade with all their leaves. The mowers are heard more and more each week and sometimes twice a week depending on the moisture we have gotten. Wednesday night we had lightening and thunder, but only a few drops of rain. It stayed west of us in Oakland City, but Thurs- day night we had lightening and some rain overnight but not too much. The temps are like summer in the 80s to 90s with the humidity com- ing up and the breeze is fine if you stay in the shade. Tuesday was the Prima- ry Election, and we both did our voting for the right person we thought would be successful in that office. We hope you all did the same. The Bertrum Farmers Market east of the Old Trad- ing Post is now open for veg- gies and flowers, Tuesday 4-8 p.m., Saturday 8 a.m. to noon. Benefits are being planned for June. The Winslow Lions at their Riverside Flea Mar- ket on June 16 will give the proceeds from the break- fast and lunch sales to La- nora and Benny Kelley to help out in the expenses with both of them either in the hospital, nursing home, recovering and at home. If you would like to help out, come and get a meal or do- nate to these two fine stars in our community. The Winslow Lions plus other Winslow groups will hold a benefit to help out with the funeral and oth- er expenses to go to Steve Nelson who has just lost his wife, Becky. This benefit will be a the Millers Field with a fish fry dinner, silent auction, music and lots more info to come. It is on June 23 from 12-6 p.m. On June 2, the Spurgeon Fire Department and Auxil- iary will hold their pancake breakfast from 7-11 a.m. at the station house, and pro- ceeds will go to Steve Nel- son to help out on expenses. Winslow, did you know we are having a city-wide yard sale on June 2? If you would like to get your yard sale items and place in the Press-Dispatch, just like the Petersburg group did, them mail your info or use any oth- er form of mailing. As I write, Mothers Day has not happened yet, but Friday I saw on the kitchen table a cute tin turtle from Laura who said it spoke to her "give me to Mom." It is a green and blue turtle with a pink daisy and red, green and blue leaves around the shell. Then a solar light with a butterfly that sways in the wind. I have some gifts for her and my mom for Moth- ers Day that I think they will like. To all our mothers, my wish is that you all got what you wanted and you all were Petersburg, Indiana 47567• Phone: (812) 354-7777 rogercraigauction@outlook.com see www.auctionzip.com, auctioneer #39502 VEHICLES & GARAGE: 1964 ½ Mustang converti- ble restorable, appears to be complete; eight (8) oth- er Mustangs in salvage condition; 1988 Olds Delta 88 Brougham, 93K miles; 1948 Ford pickup in salvage condition; 1992 Ford Model U34 body style 4W; 2000 Ford F150; 1988 Ford truck; 1999 Chevy Blazer; oth- er vehicles (see pictures); huge assortment of hand tools and shop equipment, including garden tiller; oils; jacks; yard and garden tools; pipe threaders; fuel cans; chainsaws ; wood lathe; miter saws; large anvil; Honda EM 1600 generator; 4" belt and disc sander; bench grinders; 7.5" radial arm saw; Skil worm drive saw; toolboxes; lots of hand tools; pipe wrenches; steel wedges; Buffalo 14" vertical wood band saw; air com- pressors; Crasman 10" table saw; Crasman radial arm miter saw; bench vises; large selection of bolts and bolt bins; Delta 15" scroll saw; Sawzall; hand grinders; bicycles; Bostitch air nailer; table saw; step and exten- sion ladders; router table; miter saw.

It sits in that amorphous place of being either 100 per- cent accurate or 92 percent false. And knowing all the players in the story, I couldn't even begin to guess the answer. The story is about me, though I have no recollec- tion of the event. I was 4 years old and advanced for my age. My parents were considering putting me in kindergarten a full year ear- ly. We went to the school, at which I was tested on my knowledge — the alphabet, simple math, shapes, etc. I passed everything with fly- ing colors — colors that I could totally identify, by the way. It seemed a given that I would be starting kinder- garten early. That is, until we got to the animal noises por- tion of the exam. Animal calls were a big thing in my house. My dad and his brothers have been kicked out of more than one restaurant for disturbing the guests with their onslaught of elephant trumpeting and bird tweeting. It's a source of pride for the Langrocks. Ask any of my cousins. We all have a call that we've perfected over the years — a neigh, a moo, a growl. My specialty is the chicken. And when the Langrocks get to- gether, watch out. No, seri- ously, watch out. You may want to leave the premises. The cacophony of the Ama- zon has nothing on us. Needless to say, I knew I had this whole animal noise thing down when the teacher asked me to provide matching sounds to the pic- ture cards. First the teacher held up a photo of a cow, and I rightfully said, "Neigh." She shook her head. Then the teacher held up a horse, and I rightfully said, "Oink, oink." She bit her lip. Final- ly, she held up a bird, and I jumped around the room, scratching at my armpits and squealing like a mon- key. I failed the test and would stay in preschool for another year. My mom was very con- fused. When she spoke to my dad about it, he laughed in that nervous way we do when we know we have royally screwed up. "I just thought it was funny to point out a sheep to Katiedid and say, 'Ribbit, ribbit.'" Thanks, Dad. Honestly, I always found the story pretty hilarious — hilarious in that cool-you- jacked-me-up-but-I-sure- ain't-doing-that-to-my-kids way. My daughter is 2 1/2. She is sweet and funny and brave and beautiful and silly and opinionated, and oh, sweet heavens, can she scream. The word I use for her most often is "feisty." It's a nice way of saying that the ter- rible twos have taken me — and my entire household — prisoner. The fact that we all have intact eardrums is a modern-day miracle. The sapling, as I like to call her, in- sists on doing everything her way, from pick- ing out the most outlandish out- fits you've ever seen to brush- ing her hair with a tooth- brush. We roll with it. Lately, her fa- vorite color has become orange, and with it, she insists that everything in her life be orange — in- cluding her food. This was familiar territory for me. When my brother was young and obsessed with the Teen- age Mutant Ninja Turtles, he went through a phase of wanting everything to be green. When it came to food, he was on a healthy di- et of broccoli, salad, spinach tortellini and mint chocolate chip ice cream. A green di- et is pretty much a parent's dream scenario. Orange, however, is not so easy. My sapling has tired of carrots and tangerines and now demands a dinner of nu- tritionally packed Cheetos, Cheez-Its and cheese. Look, kid, I get it. I want that for dinner every night, too. But it just can't stand. For a while, she would be creative and try new things on the orange-colored spec- trum. But after the infamous betrayal of late April — when I gave her an orange pepper — she decided to stick to what she knew. Cheetos for breakfast! Orange is one of the worst diet colors ever — right along with fuchsia and aq- uamarine. No one can be healthy with a diet of only orange food! That's when I held up a cu- cumber and said, "Sapling, want some orange? " "Orange? " she asked, con- fused. "Orange," I nodded. She ate it. I think I owe my dad an apology.
