Different meaning 08.15.16

            Sometimes an acronym has more than one meaning. Today we will provide a second meaning for a well-known acronym.
            But first the groundskeeper here at the Ford Homestead wanted me to say thanks to everyone who sent birthday greetings yesterday, he really appreciated them!
            I want to personally say thanks to our grounds keeper, who is scheduled for surgery tomorrow, as he mowed the yard over the weekend. He used the riding mower so it wasn’t too much of a strain. We just can’t keep him from working!

            Back to the original subject, an acronym with a different meaning. UFO, usually means Unidentified Flying Object, but here at the Ford Homestead we found another meaning. This acronym today means Unidentified Falling Object. A wise person might ask, what the UFO was. Our reply would be, “we are not sure, but it was wet and looked something like the rain we use to get in the olden days”.
            If one goes outside and is real quiet, they can hear the grass, trees, and other plants saying Thank You!
            We have a light and steady rain with no run off. This is the first measurable rain at the Ford Homestead in almost 8 weeks. It would rain all around the Homestead but not on the Homestead, we had begun to wonder if we were cursed. We are thankful for our rain!

Let’s keep those people in the flooded areas in our prayers.

Unidentified Falling Object, Thanks!

Don Ford
