On May 7, Saturday, was the 32nd Spring Poehlein Bass Tourney, where 14 teams went to their favorite fishing hole. The results of that day are: first place- Tommy Oakley and T.J. Al- ward with 31 pounds; second place- Cale Beck and Baron Earley with 26 pounds; third place- Chris Nowark and Steve Pow- ell with 25 pounds; and fourth place- Ryan Nalley and Greg Poehlein with 24 pounds. The biggest fish was eight pounds seven ounces, caught by T.J. Al- ward. This was the biggest fish weighed in, in 60 tournaments. Winslow Patoka River at Riverside Park is low, less than half full. Since we talked last, the temps were in the low 70s, with 55 to 65 at night, we turned the heat up. When the new week began, the win- dows were opened and it was so nice, un- til Tuesday and Wednesday, when the 80 to 90 degrees with humidity came. Then we turned the air conditioner on, so the heater can now be turned off. In our ar- ea of Southwestern Indiana, we have a record high from 88 to 89 on Tuesday, and Wednesday should rise from 88 to 90. Flowers in our yard have started to bloom: a white flag and a pink flag, ros- es have buds, rose of Sharon are now all leaves, ferns are growing taller, there are white blooms on a patch of saplings, the walnut tree is starting to leaf out and some of the house plants are under the tree in our rock garden, the peony's have buds, and there are little purple wild flowers. The birds are happy as they sing each morning. Mowers are heard almost everyday, because if one starts their cutting, then another one will mow the next day and so on. When it's all done, the whole area looks great, and it helps keep the ticks stay away. The 57 "Bone's family" were voting re- cently. Mom and dad, two children and their little dog were going to vote at the ballot box, an election worker stood be- hind the box. The winner of the Kentucky Derby was Rich Strike, last Saturday. The farmers are out in their fields disc- ing and planting, one field had itsy bitsy corn sprouts, and we have also seen a few farm machines on the road- way. That solar wind chime 'Man in the Moon' has some great colors, as each one changes into another color. One night it wasn't charged enough from the sun, so that it had twinkles of red or green and then it had no color. Mother's Day was spent at home to set on the porch and hear the birds sing, see the squirrels climb the tree, and just re- lax. Monday was the Mother's Day with Mom, and the six of us all met and ate at the Denny's in Oakland City. We picked up Mom and took her in 'Ava', she got to bring along Susie, the baby doll and her stuffed dog. We all sat and enjoyed our meal and had fun as Mom opened her gifts of a pop-up-card that plays "You are My Sunshine." On the card read: Hap- py Mother's Day. Her gifts included, a green turtle; a bunch of Roses, with some petals having two colors; and a wind chime of a sun, moon, and stars all in silver. Mom and all of us had a great time, as we enjoyed our Mother, Mil- dred, on Mother's Day. Tuesday we were going to Princeton, but starting in Arthur the signs were up to tell us of the roadwork this week with flaggers. There was the dusty machine that takes up the first layer of road, then down the farther the oil truck, followed by the asphalt truck and then the roll- er. In Oakland City, on 64, we rode on a new roadway from the railroad tracks to highway 57. No more little bumps to drive over, it's a smooth travel. Road- work is also in Princeton, by the 41- 64 intersection, where the median has cones around it from WR AY to high- way 41. We also hadn't seen Turtle and Annie for a while, so off we went to Celestine, where we ate at the Happy Hour. Tur- tle and Annie had their grand opening May 4th, with music from a hometown band played to a stream of stars who sat down for a delicious meal and friendly company. They also served stars who came to celebrate a 21st birthday, with a packed house that overflowed to out- side, where tables were set up. Several of the regular stars know Pike County, and they also know Winslow, Ayrshire, Velpen and Arthur, by the sub-station, like the Barretts. We haven't met Larry Atkins, but he is from Pike County and knew my Uncles, Lawrence and Al- bert (Ab), so we hope to see him soon. Turtle and Annie finally get to move into their house and it's a nice little house on a corner with some woods to hunt mushrooms. The house has an upstairs and a full concrete basement, with a yard to plant flowers in. I talked with a Mr. Jones, who is the substitute teach- er at Jasper Middle School, he makes learning fun. He is also a published science fic- tion author. The past week was the Medical Laboratory Profes- sionals week. Always Up to the Test, this is what was on a shirt that Laura and others had got, plus, they had a dif- ferent meal brought in that whole week, at the hospital in Washington. Barb's Park is looking bet- ter each day, as Norm is still working on the drainage ditch to help it flow better. The briars are thick, but the poison sumac, ivy, oak are al- so being taken out from the trees. Guess what is coming up, you got it, it's time to dim the lights on this week, but keep an eye on family and friends. Slow down and enjoy the beauty all around you. Al- ways smile, wave and say "hi" to everyone you see this week. Think before you speak. SUBSCRIBE TODAY! We're not afraid to shed some light on the truth. 812-354-8500
