all quiet

 It was all quiet here today

    If you ignore the huge fire over by Emily's.  A house burned, almost to the ground.  The only part left was the front wall and part of a side wall.  

    Several area fire departments sent help.  Since it was a rural area, water trucks were needed to battle the blaze.  The huge hook and ladder truck from Rochelle was even on the scene.

    Luckily, no one was injured.

    Emily texted us to say she was fine.  Some people posted on FB about a huge fire in her subdivision and she wanted us to not worry.

    We heard some of the fire engines, but not many.  Most of them must have gone down Fowler Road.

    No outside work today because it rained most of the day. 

    Rehearsals went well tonight.  I remembered my one line and when to say it, which is a bonus in my world.

    The downside is it is 11:20 and I just finished supper.  

    While Jackie was getting ready for bed, I had the baseball playoffs on tv.  One of the announcers said the player spent time with the Cubs and several other teams.

    It got me wondering: how many former Cubs are still playing baseball?  And not just from the 2016 team, but Cubs in general.  I do believe the Yankees have 5 active in Rizzo, Efross, Donaldson, D.J. LeMaheux, or however you spell it, and Glyber Torres, whom they traded to the Yankees for Chapman in 2016.  Can't count Chapman because he seems to be off the squad.

    Just a thought for the end of the day.

Peace and Love
