Winslow Patoka River at Riverside Park was up to the rim, but then dropped. The Wabash River had gone down so that you could see the sandbar. The White Riv- er is also down, but is rising, and close to the flood mark. Last weekend the temp got up into the 80s, so we opened the windows and turned on the fans. Then the rain came and the temps dropped, so the windows were closed and the heat was on again. There is also a frost warning for a few days, but it shouldn't be too bad. I want to set my house plants out in the fresh air, but not right now; hopefully soon, in the month of May. The mowers are heard in our area and since the rain comes and goes, the grass grows taller and mowing is done, before the next rain day comes. Rose of Sharon's have small leaves, lilac bushes has some purple blooms, pear trees are turning green, the redbud are still purple, Dogwoods have small green leaves, tulips are in bloom with lots of col- or, some iris of purple are in bloom, and the ground cover of purple and purple white are still great to look at. Some fields have purple and some have yellow, they will soon be plowed to plant their crop of beans, corn or wheat. Norm got me on the rider, and it was great to tour around the yard and see the work he has done to open the ditch and get our small park looking great. I didn't mow, I just drove around to see up close the flowers, trees and the area. I might mow with the rider one of these days, since I can get on the rider and tool around the area lots. Easter egg hunts don't have to be be- fore Easter, because our neighbor had hid eggs on the grass, around the house and trees for the young ones to find. They had a really great hunt. The "Bones family" were all out hiding and finding stone Eas- ter eggs in flower beds and on the grass. While we were out Saturday, April 23rd, we had our yearly pork chop din- ner from the Winslow Masons. They do a great job grilling and dishing up the delicious meal with corn, green beans, baked potato, roll, plus, a Pepsi and slice of devils food cake. Norm got a cobbler for dessert. We were hungry and that hit the spot. There is some days when you say " I just got to get out on the road." We didn't go too far, but the day was hot, so we used the air condition- er; and the wind was strong in some open areas. On the road, we passed by several bridge repairs, but the traffic wasn't heavy. We passed or saw along the road two camper trailers, several cars, one semi and three State Police sitting at different points along the construc- tion. When we got, or I should say almost home, the bugs and bird poop was all over the wind shield and on the grill. "Ava" got another wash. Gas prices along the way were from $ 3.98 to $4.29 a gallon. This just in: To all the family of George and Laura Meyer, the reunion this year will be August 28, at noon, at Temple Hills (instead of September 11). Hope to see all of you for our 47th year of family get-togethers. Winslow Trash Site on the outskirts of town has now been paved. Alright! That makes it much nicer. Thanks to all in- volved. When your out and about, take a look at the woods and do you see a spring ar- ray of light and dark green, purple, white and the limbs or trees that are bare? The woods make a nice colorful picture. The dog, Zoe, is now Norm's shadow. She is getting better on routines, but that toy pig and sick are her favorite. Our Primary Election in Pike County has passed and the office holders who won, congrats to each of you. Winslow town elections are in November. So if you want to run on the November ticket, then June 30th is the time to start the process. I know this is election year and we all get a little crazy sometimes, but don't be 'rude'- that's not nice. If what I hear Winslow's neighbors and friends aren't too friendly these days. Everybody wants to be like our towns around us, but Winslow is a laid back town, who also likes to visit with a neighbor or a friend over a cup of coffee. The lights are about to dim for this week. Keep an eye on family and friends. Slow down and see all the wonders in your area. Always smile, wave and say "hi" to everyone you see this week. Hap- py Mother's Day. You may have heard Elon Musk is try- ing to buy Twitter for $46.5 billion, the way Veruca Salt demanded cream buns and doughnuts and fruitcake with no nuts so good you could go nuts. You also may have heard financial terms such as "tender offer" and "poison pill" bandied about, because apparently publicly trad- ed companies are structured on riddles from an ancient book of spells. Now, I feel like this Twitter coup at- tempt is probably a nothingburger, like when Romy and Michele said they invent- ed Post-its just to impress the mean kids from high school. However, one can't be too careful, and I will not have Musk buy- ing Twitter out from under me. Yes, me. I am not an eccentric billionaire...yet. I am working on a plan, a plan I can't re- veal at this time because, well, the plan is to stumble into an inestimable fortune. That's right, stumble. One day, having done nothing of note or accomplish- ment, I will simply open my eyes and be gifted billions in United States curren- cy. It might involve a long-lost great aunt named Clotilde, or maybe a trust fund kept secret until I pass a heretofore un- known ethical test. You know, like, "She did it! She gave the correct person a ride to the gas station, and now we can name her rightful heir to the Little Deb- bie empire! " Did I just rewrite "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"? Am I Char- lie Bucket? A lot of things are making sense now, in- cluding all the cabbage... Anyway, I'll keep you posted. But rest assured, Twitter will one day be mine. And when I own Twitter, I will institute the following rules: • It will come with a Breathalyzer. Each user will blow before typing opinions about... well, anything, espe- cially any reply that starts with, "Actual- ly..." If the poster does not pass, the web- site will lock for a period of eight hours, the timeline replaced by a flashing mes- sage that says, "Water, sweetie." • We need to start compensating people for high-quality original materi- al. Anyone who writes a viral tweet gets a free dinner for two excluding alcohol, because of the previous rule, ($59.99 val- ue) at Outback Steakhouse. In a separate corporate takeover, I will also own Out- back Steakhouse. • Two hundred and eighty characters is fine, unless I feel like more, in which case, I alone will get more. Eccentric bil- lionaire! No rules, just right! • Live T V tweet events will go in one digital location, a place users can elect to attend. That way, there are no jarring spoilers for season fi- nales, nor contextless tweets of "OMG!!! " during real-time box- ing matches such as the Acade- my Awards. • No annoying promoted tweets. You're not fooling any- one that "Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore" is actu- ally trending, sorry. I know this eliminates a revenue stream, but remember, I don't need revenue be- cause I have stumbled into a bottomless soup and salad of fortune. • When celebrity names are trending, they will come clearly labeled as dead or not dead or almost dead, because we can't keep worrying about Harrison Ford like this! • There will be bottom-line quotas for entertaining cute animal content. Meet the minimum requirements or get out. • No terrible people! That's it, that's the rule. No, I will not elaborate. Stephanie Hayes is a columnist at the Tampa Bay Times in Florida.
