1924 Olympic Champions, Robin Reed & Russell Vis

While hitch-hiking from his home in Oregon to New York City in 1924 to join the U. S. Olympic team, Reed stopped at Iowa State University to work out, but was refused permission. He asked the coach if he could work out if he first pinned every member of the wrestling team. The coach agreed. Reed proceeded to pin every Iowa State wrestler and he got his workout.

Baby, it’s cold outside!!!

This is our outdoor weather station that I got hubby for his birthday.

We named him Robin Reed after our local weather forecaster.

Our pond had about a two inches of ice on it and now there’s patches of snow on top of the ice.

My wood pile is disappearing and I’m the only one using it!

Clear blues skies on Wednesday, January 13, 2016!

Hubby’s new weather station. It’s been used more than any he’s…
