Anyone have a great work out plan for septuagenarians? 

Steven Bilderback

I sure do Dave.  I have lots of firewood for you to split and stack. Plus I have a boulder wall to finish  💪

David Frazer

Steve, you might of misunderstood my question.... I'm not 70 yet. :)

Steve Scholl, hey, now that you are past 70 years ()  have you found out the truth from this passage (Psalm 90: 10 - 12). I like the King James use of  the Bible 3 score and 10 (Sometimes KJV is fun to quote). "¹⁰ The days of our lives are seventy years;
And if by reason of strength they are eighty years,
Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow;
For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
¹¹ Who knows the power of Your anger?
For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath.
¹² So teach us to number our days,
That we may gain a heart of wisdom.

David Frazer

After I wrote that, I thought to ask, have you made a video of your band singing "I'll Fly Away?" A great, fun song especially for a funeral.

David Frazer

Sorry. Didn't mean to shut down the conversation by talking about funerals. Hope everyone has a great August month!

Steve Hardy

♫ Au - u - gust, die she must,

The autumn winds blow chilly and cold. ♫

Honestly, where were S & G located that this lyric would ring true in August?

Certainly not down here in Alabama!

No, Steve, I think S&G must have been up around the Arctic Circle to find cold autumn winds in August.

But for the life of me, I can't understand why we start the school year during this hot month.

We started August 7th, rather than in September, as do the northern school districts.

When I opened my bus this afternoon (August 15th), it seemed hot enough to bake bread in there.

As hot as it is right now, I am still blessed to be here.

The song says it well, "Sweet Home Alabama".

Steve Hardy

One of the young people, evidently a high school senior, brought his or her car to church today.  In addition to the usual decor, the person's VenMo account was displayed on the passenger side window.

Ingenious.

Times have changed since our senior year, just a bit.

David Frazer

You are right, Steve. Things have changed. I can't keep up with anything. My new computer won't work because I took off everything that connects automatically (and I also bought a new computer for only 359 dollars- cheap). So tell me what is Venmo?

Steve Hardy

Dave,

VenMo is a phone app that allows a person to send money.  Some of us used it to send our payments to Yvette for the reunion last year, and I used to receive tips from party bus passengers through VenMo.

One transfers money from a bank account or credit card to his or her VenMo account, and sends it to the account of another person or entity.

Think of it as a phone app version of wiring money like Western Union.   (♫ Western Union, ♪ dee de dee dee dee, dee de dee dee dee ♫)

btw, I think that several people must be vacationing this last month of summer, as it has been very quiet here.

David Frazer

I'm becoming like my uncle. It is scary to see how I pull back from anything that I have to connect with (especially, going through Google). I remember my uncle in the early years showing me his Computer with a program on that did not require Microsoft to operate. I just bought a cheap computer ($ 350) and have to return it because it will not work once I modify with likes and dislikes.

Steven Kaufhold

Steve H, the sound of your singing didn't come thru but I'm sure it was beautiful..

Steven Bilderback

Dave F.,I'll send you my Venmo account name and show you how easy it is to send a $1,000 to someone. 🤣

David Frazer

Sorry Steve B. I will have to get a gift card from Target to give to you.... :)

Steve Hardy

I'm sorry to report Diane Marie Bunge Prairie  passed away on August 7, 2025.  I posted her obituary in the "In Memory" page.

Special thanks to Susan Perkins Sershen for letting us know.

I found a few old obituaries by searching the Kok Funeral Home site, and posted them as well.

Steve Hardy

Susan Perkins Sershens was talking to Steve and Gail Scholl last week and talked to him about playing for the class.  She told him he could probably play in the back room at the Legion in SPP, and whoever wanted to listen could show up on a designated night.

Sounds like it could be fun.

Yvette Fuchs (Nierenhausen)

Sounds like fun!!

Happy September!  It seems August was in a hurry to pass us by.

Autumnal equinox will be here before we know it (not that it is a very life altering event for many of us)!

To quote S&G once again,

🎼"🎵September, I remember, 🎶 a love once new has now grown old.🎵"

Ok, I won't quit my daytime job. 

David Frazer

Steve, I'm trying to "remember that time in September" you are talking about....

Was that when you were a tender and callow fellow?
