PRAYERS
NEEDED!!
It has been quite the summer and fall
months for many Tryons. Many in our family are dealing with
very serious issues. I won't go into detail, but here is my
(probably incomplete) list. (trying to protect some privacy)
Prayers for: Sandy (Ray's), Mary Jane, Rod C. (MJ's), Jack,
Cousin Jimmy, Shonna, Tim, Jeff, Bev and even old
DBT......sorry for leaving anyone out. People tell me stuff,
then say, "Don't Post On The Web".....then the news will
quickly appear on Face Book....but MANY in our family are
not on Face Book......Tough Times......Prayers for
all........ |

There was a Pounding on our
door......Again and Again...Cassi & Gwen answered....It was
the POLICE.....Huh?....snow ordnance? Nope, he said our back
yard was on FIRE!! Huh?....I finally arrived and then looked
and there were FLAMES everywhere...Our chicken coop was a
blaze and so was our neighbor's wooden fence...Firemen were
already working on it....My neighbor, who called it in was
emptying his fire extinguisher. Man, it was scary and cold
outside....The firemen worked for about an hour and a
half...lots of nooks where the fire could
smolder......Chicken coop was totaled....all chickens were
dead, including a duck or two....damage to neighbor's
fence....Could have been so much worse....a heating lamp
caused it.....Thank God Gwen put the coop as far from any
house as possible.... The Firemen and Police were awesome.
We were lucky.... |

So,
Every Christmas You Watch The Movie, "It's A Wonderful
Life?...have the younger generations ever seen it?
I found this very
entertaining, short story with info that I bet you have
never heard about....Did you know the movie was a box office
flop? Television made it a classic....The angel who helped
save Jimmy Stewart was named "Clarence".....Did the movie
come out BEFORE, DURING or AFTER World War
Two?...........AFTER.....Our mother, Dorothy, loved Donna
Reed, who was born near Denison and not real far from where
Dorothy lived for a short time in the Manila area......This
is a GREAT little story.....CLICK

Wow! 60 years ago! Friday, Aug. 18th.

been such a strong member of the Tryon Family...both Larry
and Jan were sophomores at BV, starting their junior year, I
think.....Wow....Sioux Rapids, Ia...1963...I was 13 and
remember the wedding well...I got in trouble for marking
Dale's car up with "Just Married" stuff.....(Bill gave me
the shaving cream/cans etc...Randy helped...everyone laughed
but Dale....) ...This was he day my "ornery" brothers
kidnapped the bride and groom....yes, "innocent" Ray, Bill,
Dale, Gaylord and Jerry....I would say, 5 ring
leaders....hauling LT and escorting Jan away.........boy,
was C.L. mad......and GT got the brunt of it....as told,
many, many times by GT....as Dad stopped in Sac City on the
way home and really gave it to him..........I am sure there
is much that I do not know about this infamous
incident.....a very blessed day!! We sure miss Larry

\Sportsmans
Tiki Bike Ride, Saturday Aug. 5th!
Dave, Dan and Don are hosting their
annual bike ride around the lake. Got the following email
from Dan:
My first bit of news is that Danny, Donnie,
and Dave are hosting our annual Sportsmans Tiki Ride on
Saturday 8/5/23. We previously talked about doing a Tryon
reunion on the day after (8/6), but we will not be doing
that this year. You are still welcome to come to the fund
raising ride we do on 8/5. Last year we helped raise over
$30,000 for our trails and this year we expect 700-1000
riders. Wow!
Next possible get together is tailgate party
for UNI at ISU on Sept 2nd. We have a lot of UNI and ISU
grads in this family. We will even let the Hawkeyes in the
family attend. Hope to see you there. Dave is host of this
famous tailgate party.
Thought I would start a fb group to see if it
is of interest to a lot of us. I know not everyone is on fb,
but this is one way to get the word out about family get
togethers or family news we want to share. And, of course,
Dick’s website is the best place. I sent fb invites today
7/21/23 to those on my feed. Feel free to add those I’m
missing. Fb site is called “Tryon Family”
Sounds like great, Tryon fun!! |

TRYON
SAP OF THE MONTH
A couple of weeks ago, I was home
alone....and decided to cook......Now this urge does not
come my way very often......My daughter has banned me from
using the burners on the top of stove, (another story for
another time) but I can and do use the oven.....(Jack's
Pizzas).....Well, she was not around, who would know?.....I
decided I could micro wave soup, but thought I would make
grilled cheese to go with the soup.......Now, I remember
what Mrs. Oxenford told us back in middle school......butter
the OUTSIDE of the bread.....put cheese in the middle...cook
until golden brown.....use fry pan......NO
PROBLEM.......even a Biden supporter could do this.......
So I turned on the
burners.....I could not read them very well, but figured the
more I turn to the right, the higher the heat.......I
buttered slices, added cheese and gently put them in the
pan.....and waited....they were smoking pretty good and I
got to worrying that I had the burner TOO HIGH.......and
then I remembered......I had to be very careful about the
handle of the frying pan......I could have a disaster and
spill and burn every thing...including me....THE PAN's
HANDLE MUST BE TURNED TOWARD THE INSIDE to prevent me
knocking the pan to the floor.......so I look, but I CANNOT
find the handle to the fry pan.....WTF?.......(remember my
vision is not the best)......Ooops.....then I discovered the
SAP moment.....I had put the buttered bread directly on the
burner....NO PAN.....It looked like a pan to me....Big
Mistake....notice photo.......burnt grease, butter
splattering everywhere......When my girls came home, they
cleared the smoke and noticed right away.....Grandpa's
been cooking....(How do you turn off those smoke detectors
again?).........and my sandwich was pretty crisp and
burnt......soup was good, however.....SAP OF THE
MONTH......I am now back on probation....
Oops......Big Mess
Looked like a fry pan to me... |
