Let's jump into some more music.

We've got a song done here by Buddy Lilies.

It's called, it's entitled Visit to Cross.

When the cares of life have got you down And it seems no hope inside

Still shines across the hill Come morning, noon or night And the load is so heavy It weighs your heart down Visit the cross of Calvary Sweet rest can there be found Visit the cross of Calvary

The burdens are lifted

That

Jesus needs His arms outstretched For you and me Visit the cross

And your heart's door closed to the call from Him above The cross still shines across the hill Sending waves of hope and love So your heart is torn between the wrong and its torn

The cross of Calvary Come while hope's inside Visit the cross

Visit the cross and you will see.

Visit the

cross

and you will see.

Nicely done!

Buddy Lilies is his name in Visit the Cross.

If you're looking for fresh watermelon, cantaloupe, potatoes, sweet corn, oh boy, cucumbers, tomato, zucchini, kalarabi, peaches by the pounder case,

and cherries.

They got everything coming out of the garden.

You don't have to pick and bend over and pick it up.

I guess you could say that.

Just carry it to the car.

Apple, blueberry, cherry, red raspberry, strawberry with rhubarb, peach, peach with pineapple, pecan, lemon, Amish fry pies.

So get over to Vanderbrink's and have yourself a delicious meal, all the fresh vegetables and fruit that you can get there.

That pecan, homage fry pie is one of my favorites.

They packed those little fry pies so full of filling.

You almost have to wear a bib to keep the stuff from drooling down your chin.

Rose's Tower Review Villa are with us.

You know, the Tower Review has always been there, assisted care for the elderly.

And they like to thank all the people that have been out lately, helping them out.

They went to the El Dorado Big Parade recently, they enjoyed that.

Now that we're already into the month of August, it's important to know that, you know, if you have a loved one that takes a lot of care.

Our bodies do tend to change.

The Tower of You in Rosendale is an excellent choice for you to select your loved ones to get that type of care that maybe you've given for so many years you dedicated your life to.

So let let them know if you have you know you're interested in putting your loved one with them for their loving care too.

The phone number 872-2552-920-872-2552.

And let Chanel help you out.

They also have a level of adult care money through Friday there too that they offer.

And another building right off of Highway 26 on Rosendell's north side.

Ah, let's see, did I talk a little bit about, oh I did give the band a break.

Let's get into this little bit of Willie Nelson.

There's a family Bible on the table Its page is warm and hard to read But the family Bible on the table

At the end of day, when work was over And when the evening meal was done Dad would read to us from the family Bible And we'd count our many blessings

One by one I can see us sitting round the table When from the family Bible dad would read I can hear my mother softly singing

Rock of ages, rock of ages, cleft for me Now this old world of ours is filled with trouble This old world would also better be If we found more Bible

I can see us sitting round the table When from the family Bible Dad would read I can hear

Softly singing Rock of Ages, Rock of Ages, Cliff for me Rock of Ages, Rock of Ages, Cliff for me

a young group called Alliance.

Not Alliance Laundry, but just plain Alliance.

There you go.

Well, money is always a concern for most people.

Although if you were young and work many jobs, put a lot of time in raising your family and we're great stewards of our community.

And now you're retired and hopefully you have enough dollars saved up to provide you with a comfortable lifestyle.

The Horicon Bank here in town would like to be the institution that safeguards all of your interests.

People who have made a success of their life, made quite a bit of money, put it in different banks.

And if that way you can always go to one bank, go to the other one, whatever is convenient for you.

The Horicon Bank is one of those convenient places right here in town.

On the south end of the busy business district, on the south end of Watson Street.

They have open lobby hours Monday through Friday the drive-thru office drive-thru service on Saturdays have been discontinued because he opened up the virtual teller service at a local highway grocery store You can do all the transactions as you could ordinarily do at least 99% of them You cannot talk to a loan officer at the highway store because it's on virtual teller like on a screen, but you can get help

doing all your banking, putting money in, cash in a check, you know, doing whatever, transferring from one account to the other at your local Horikon bank right here in town.

Take care of all your banking services.

Make sure your money is always safe and secure.

It's almost like having somebody sit on top of your cash box with a loaded shotgun like years ago.

These are these people guarding their money.

You don't have to bury your money in fruit jars out in the backyard to protect it.

The Horacan Bank would be a great place for you to do that.

Do you need some concrete?

Well, concrete is something that people don't buy every day.

Most of us seniors don't like lugging big bags of concrete mixed around, stirring it up and pouring it out into a form.

But at Cacrete, they do that for you.

It's affordable and they would gladly give you a free quote.

as to what concrete would cost if you have a patio no matter what size sidewalk sections or a whole sidewalk or a concrete driveway.

No matter what you need they can do it for you.

The phone number here in ribbon is 920-279-8854.

279 88 54 I realized not everybody's gonna need concrete at this moment I don't need a concrete either, but I did have them do a project for me earlier this summer 279 8854 K crete your concrete flat workers give Dylan a call I know you'll be happy to talk to you We got a song coming up here right now.

I think it's the varossals

Falling leaves that lie scattered on the ground The birds and flowers that were here now can't be found All my friends that I once had are not around

They are scattered like the leaves upon the ground Some folks drift along through life and never drill To the feeling that a good deed brings until It's too late and they are ready to lie down

These lines scattered on the ground.

There's no use taking any gold You cannot use it when

it's

time for hands to fold When you leave this earth for a better home someday The only thing you'll take is what you gave away

Make me stop and always lend a helping hand

As any sinner could ever be But through it all, he stood by and waited for me And he never once stopped

Ten thousand angels would have come and set him free Oh, but he chose to bleed and die for my salvation And he never once stopped loving

I've ever known, never gave up on me And he never once stopped loving me As he hung there on the rugged cross of Calvary Ten thousand angels

Well,

that was pretty nice by Kenny Stephens there.

He never once stopped loving me.

Well, the good folks at Pre-B Sales and Service know how much you like dependable machinery.

especially if you are on the farm.

Livestock, if you've got cattle, or if you've got dairy cattle, or beef cattle, no matter what type of animals you are raising on your farm, you need dependable machinery.

You have a big yard to cut, they have the Bobcat zero turn lawnmowers to make that chore much shorter in time for you to take care of, because after all, when you got done with all your chores, you want some time for yourself.

You don't want to work 28 hours a day, do you?

Let pre-b sales and service on Ripon's website help you with replacement parts in the shop with Gary or technical help in the machine shed where the mechanics are with Mark or talk to Phil in sales and check out the Bobcat zero-turn riding lawn mowers different widths depending on the size of your yard and also a new and used machinery no matter if it's for harvesting your planting pre-b sales and service They have the stuff that you need

We've got a lot of requests for this song, and by the way, pre-B sales and service, give them a call.

Remember, the last Saturday of every month, they are closed.

Otherwise, they are still open for you.

They're open Monday through Friday, 8 to 6 Saturdays, 8 to noon, except the last Saturday of the month.

A lot of requests from this song is done by Jim Reeves.

While resting one evening by the side of the road, I saw an old farmer in a field he had just howed.

His face was all brown and wrinkled by the wind.

And he was talking to the Lord, just like he'd be talking to a friend.

Well, sir, he said in a voice, calm and quiet.

Them corn tassels need sacking, but I got no string to tie it.

Had no rain and so long that the fields were mighty dusty.

And it's been so unbearable hot that the kids are even getting fussy.

Now that grass down in the pasture should be knee-high.

If we could just have a little shower, Lord, it might keep the cow from going dry.

Ah, but listen to me talk, and you'd think I wasn't grateful.

Why, if you didn't know me so well, Lord, you'd think I was downright hateful.

You'd think I'd forgot about the new calf that you sent and the money in the mail that took care of the rent.

Ma's cold's better and Johnny's home from the Navy and that good Sunday dinner of chicken dumplings and gravy.

The new preacher you sent us, Lord, he sure is a fine young man.

Why, he's just converting him sinners to beat the bag.

Well, guess I'll be mowsin' along, Lord.

Won't take no more your time.

Guest there's plenty folks hereabouts waiting to ring your line.

Evenin' to you, Lord, and watch over us tonight.

And don't you worry about us, non-Lord, because everything's gonna be all right.

I think you'd have to agree with me that there are a lot of nice people in this world.

So many wonderful friends you meet along your journey through life.

And when we learned that some of these individuals had been part of our life at Passaway, we all have a certain degree of sadness and bereavement over the loss of their passing.

The good folks at Budsene March and Funeral Home here in town would like to let you know Brenda Cosmeck, 81 from Marcus Ann Passaway, middle of last month on the 17th of July, and Linda Moorland,

71 from it and passed away on the 22nd of July.

Our condolences go out to Brenda's family and Linda's too, all their family and friends.

And if you lost a loved one recently, we know the sadness can reach a pinnacle peak for all of us.

So just remember, but seen marching through your home.

They'll always be there for you in your time of need.

On top of the hill, West Oskar Street, May Party Drive.

Reach out to them if they can help you through your time.

of need.

It's Budsene Marchion, Chris, Rolanda, Marissa, 748-2623 since 1896.

This song is quite appropriate for all of those folks who lost loved ones recently.

It's done by the Spencers.

Did you see the angels?

I'm gonna

stop that one.

I got the wrong cut here.

I want to make sure I got this right here.

Let's try this one.

There you

go.

before they fly away?

Did you see or hear any sign of the angels today?

Did you see the angels as they hovered in the wind?

Did you hear them whisper,

Look off peace on your loved one's face Did you see or hear any sign from all the angels?

On the wings of the snow

Charlie Pryde was a nice tune there for us.

You have to agree with me, some of these temperatures have really been crazy.

Hot spells, cooler nights, and brewer heating and cooling, we like to be there to keep your family comfortable as all these different seasonals change, this affect all of us.

From blistery hot index to heat indexes up over 100 degrees sometimes, humidity so high you don't even want to go outside.

Yet if you have indoor air conditioning,

You can persistently keep up with it.

Just stay inside.

Don't go out if you don't have to.

Like the Hivey grocery store here in town, they will do your grocery shopping for you and even deliver your groceries to your front door so you don't even have to go out when the weather is so uncomfortable.

Let brewer heating and cooling and rip as north east side keep you comfortable through these really hot blistery days and then those cold wintery nights and evenings too.

It's brewer heating and cooling.

Give them a call 748-6494 anytime you have a problem with your air conditioner right now or your heating system later on.

Pedals and plows are with us today.

They want to let you know that they're open Sundays from noon to five, Monday through Saturdays from ten to six.

If you're looking for fresh produce, I'm talking like fresh sweet corn picked this very morning, they do that every day.

They even have watermelon, musk melon, tomato, zucchini, all the things, beets, anything you're looking for out of the garden, they have right there, their little country produce stand at 9129 Kaufman Road.

Delicious food, great people.

Tree shrubs and bushes if you're looking for some for your landscaping needs.

Perennial flowers too.

920-290-1621.

It's petals and plows on Kaufman Road.

Go west on Kaufman Road.

9129 Kaufman Road.

Today between noon and five bring the grandkids because they have a beautiful large playground.

The kids will love that while you take a look at all the vegetables.

We've got a song here, I haven't played this one in a long, long time.

It's done by the Spencers again.

Wait a little longer please, Jesus.

Here the labor is so hard and the workers are so tired.

And are we really hard to yearning for a rest?

Then we finally getting anxious To be in that happy land Where we'll receive such peace and happiness But wait a little longer, please Jesus There are so many wonders out in sin

Just a little longer please Jesus A few more days to get our loved ones in We may look into the skies And tears will fill our eyes As our burdened hearts grow heavier with each day First we cry, oh Lord, please come Come and take your children

We say No way a little longer, please Jesus There are so many wandering out in sin Just a little longer, please Jesus A few more days to get our loved ones in The family scattered here and there

But Lord we love them dear And maybe we could help them find a way And then if waiting is the cause That they might not be lost Lord that's the only reason why we say Wait a little longer please Jesus There are so many wonders

Oh Lord,

my God,

The world thy hands have made Now I see the

stars

Now

I hear

the roaring thunder The power throughout the universe displayed

Insane.

shall come with shouts of agglomation to take me home what joy shall fill my heart then I shall kneel

in humble adoration

There he goes, Ned Miller on our Sunday morning get together.

All of us would love to be appreciated for the work we've done in our lifetime.

And that is loneliness.

The quiet sometimes can be definitely.

Get ahold of Maple Crest and meet all your new neighbors just down the hall.

748-7300, it's Maple Crest.

Talking about nice people.

I've been talking about this family for a long time and I'm referring to the Kelm family, Doug, Kathy, and Danny.

They do great work producing signs for business people like yourself.

If you're still working,

or semi-retired, you might want to check out Graphic Sign and Letter Company on Ripon's northeast side, right on East Oshka Street at Stanton Street.

That's where all the big grain trucks turn north to go to the elevators.

Stanton Street, they have a nice large parking lot at Graphic Sign and Letter Company and inside you can find signs that can be made of any size.

Even little stickers are on your mailbox with the fire numbers.

I've had a couple of those already made, not only for ourselves,

but for my neighbors too.

Get hold of Graphic Sign Language Company and let them produce a sign for you that you would be proud to put on your vehicles, on your buildings, or in your front yard.

748-7723.

Let everybody know what you're doing, who you are, and what products and services you can provide.

Wonderful people, the Kelm family.

Like I say, you gotta love that Kelm family.

Danny, Doug, and Kathy.

i believe for every drop of rain that falls a flower grows

I believe that somewhere in the darkest night a candle glows.

I believe for everyone who goes astray someone will come to show the way.

Above the storm the smallest prayer will still be heard I believe that someone in the great somewhere hears every word Every time I hear a newborn baby cry

The smallest prayer will still be heard I believe that someone in the great somewhere hears every word

Every time I hear a new voice

Sent from somewhere to my soul

How

they linger ever near me And the sacred past unfold Precious memory

stillness of the midnight

precious sacred scenes unfold

Just me

sings unfold.

Some say love.

It is a river.

And that it drowns

tendery and some say love it's like a razor and

that it leaves your soul

to bleed some say love it is a home

say love it is a flower and you it's all

I always liked that song.

I hope you enjoyed that too.

Home and Chevrolet Buick GMC.

So many of us become fence sitters at one point.

You gotta be careful what kind of fence you sit on.

You don't know if you're gonna go left or right.

No other song, however you fall off that fence.

You just can't decide what you should do.

You should stick more money into your current vehicle, which is slowly nickel and diming you to death.

Or do you trade it and get top dollar traded and get a local low mileage used vehicle or something brand new out the lot at Holman?

Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC.

On West Pondland Street, Randy along with Curtis, Tony, and Chewy will help you get all the information you need to make an intelligent decision.

They even have a couple of sports cars there too for you sports enthusiasts.

All you seniors that are young at heart.

748-3377.

Give that number a call tomorrow.

Monday through Fridays, a mechanic can tune up your current car with service work, oil changes, tire rotation, tire balancing, change the windshield wipers if they're again a cow old and cracked and streaky whenever you get any rain.

748-3377 is Holman where you get an excellent opportunity, great affordable prices, and all the information you need.

to not allow you to be a fence sitter anymore.

Get off that fence, particularly if it's a picket fence, because that can get a little uncomfortable in the end, if you know what I mean.

748-3377, Dr. Curtis, Tony, Randy or Chewy at Holman Chevrolet Buick GMC this next week, and let them put a new set of wheels in your driveway.

We got another dandy one coming up here.

It's done by Don Gibson.

Haven't heard this one in quite a

spell.

Little bit of Lee Greenwood there.

I hope you like that one where nobody walks alone.

I recently got a newspaper article that Joni sent me from over near Fairburn, Tom and Joni, sent me an article dealing with Union Star cheese and my buddy over there, Johnny Medse, who runs the cheese factory there, the Union Star Dairy, and you know they have delicious cheese varieties.

It's been a family business for over a hundred years.

And although they're not open on Sundays, you still have an opportunity, Monday through Saturday, to get over there and pick up some delicious cheese at Willow Creek Creamery, just north a few miles from Berlin North on Highway 49.

When you get to Highway 21, four-way stop sign, turn and go east, about the length of a football field, you'll be right there in the driveway.

Delicious cheese.

Now one thing I remember, my little buddy from Winniconte, Tommy Zilgoz, told me about hickory nut, monster cheese, and I haven't had that in a while, I forgot all about that.

So the next time I go to Willow Creek, I'm gonna pick up some of that hickory nut, monster, and it's produced with locally sourced hickory nuts, right in the monster cheese.

I remember getting some of that and it was really good.

I gotta get back on that bandwagon.

Their age cheddar is five year age,

with a rich, sharp flavor without being overly dry.

The taste is worth the wait.

I guess y'all.

You know, the award-winning, they got an award for the red willow cheese, too, that was developed by Johnny Metzeg, with each wheel being aged for 20 to 25 days to produce a subtle, meaty, and yet savory flavor profile.

Pretty good words there.

I got that from the newspaper article.

Get over to Willow Creek Creamery.

They got great hours.

You're going to enjoy the cheezer.

They are open during the week.

Monday through Friday from 9 to 5.

Saturdays 8 to 5.

Cheese curds.

Warm from the vat.

Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

Around 10 o'clock in the morning at Willow Creek.

Stop over there this next week.

You got any questions you can call them after 9 o'clock in the morning.

3, 6, 1.

five two five six will agree good stuff we got kevin spencer's in the band coming up now for one of those multi variety cds this group is called new vision and they're going to do a song entitled no more goodbyes

Many times we've wondered what we ever have to say goodbye so unexpectedly You just talked to a friend the other day The next you've heard they've slipped away to face eternity Oh, but there's a time

I'm longing for When saying goodbye will be no more We'll leave behind earthly cares There'll be no

There's no dying in that land so fair.

Eternal life reigns forever.

There's no sickness, no heartaches to bear.

Yeah.

A group called New Vision.

It's been quite a while since we heard anything from Jan Howard.

So here's Jan Howard with one for you.

Nice job, Jan Howard.

If you've been listening to the show quite regularly, you've known that Corky and I, our taste buds have changed, and we've both gotten on this German potato salad cake that the Ivy grocery store here in Rippon, they make it from scratch.

And I'll tell you, it is some really delicious potato salad.

German potato salad, just like my mom and grandma used to make.

And when it takes me back to those years of my youth, I like to stay with that until I get really tired of it.

But so far, I love the German potato salad.

What do you do as an individual when you get so heated up and stressed out and the weather is so warm outside and you come in or you're inside the house and you want something, just a little treat to kind of cool you down a little bit.

You might go for a cold icy glass of water.

Maybe a soda or a beer or something to settle you down.

For myself, Cork and I like chilled watermelon.

And we've gotten some delicious watermelon, seedless watermelons from our local Hivey grocery store.

So I want to put a plug in there for all the boys and girls that work in the produce section at our Hivey store.

They got some really dandy stuff there.

Strawberries and blueberries, raspberries, bink cherries.

They got all these different things for you and your family.

When you go for your one stop shopping once or twice a week, make sure you stop over in the produce section.

Stop in the bakery, get some apple or blueberry fritters, and get your sliced cheeses and meats from the deli there too.

Broasted and rotisserie chicken every day, including today after 11 o'clock in the morning.

Eight pieces of chicken, and they're good sizes too.

Not those little bitty pieces you get at their chicken place.

on the corner there.

Go inside the Hivey store and get some big pieces of chicken and everybody will get some good stuff there.

Check out the dairy aisle.

They got all kinds of ice cream, frozen treats, in-store smoke holes for grilling out if you want to do that, and of course all your baking items too.

Adult beverages, things for the kids, snacks and ice cream cones and popsicles.

They got it.

Local Hivey store.

Sister...

Yeah, did you recognize that voice?

David Houston, my little buddy Dave there.

And when they ring those golden bells.

Here's a group called Higher Purpose.

Higher Purpose, that's what I longed for.

a constant search for higher purpose before me I see a higher purpose for me the mountain is high the road is untried but to stay in the valley I just cannot be satisfied contentment is bound in the goals that you reach while living the valley when you can scale the

That's what you're born for.

Higher purpose.

Take a leap of faith toward higher purpose.

Then you will see a higher purpose.

The voice that keeps on crying.

young fella by the name of Jim Lee with higher purpose.

Never heard that song before.

Not too bad.

Kind of like that little bounce to it.

How many days will stretch in a row where you can go to rest at night before you go to bed and say your evening prayers and say today was a good day.

No family strife.

No health issues.

You're comfortable.

Your house isn't overheated.

You're comfortable with the air conditioner.

You had enough food and everything was just perfect.

I've run into quite a few of those days, and with Corky's health on an upswing, I've had some pretty good days.

Knock on wood.

And I have a lot of you folks to thank for that, for all the prayers you sent our way.

I do love you and appreciate that.

There are other people that appreciate you too.

That's the good folks at Prairie Place.

When you live there, the good folks that take care of your loved ones and the assisted level, you would like them too.

You would appreciate all the extra attention they give your loved ones at Prairie Place.

At 749 East Oshka Street on Ripon's northeast edge.

We got Charlie Loven coming up with one entitled, The Family Who Praise.

The locally sisters.

We have Jeannie Pruitt coming up next.

Miss Ginny Pruitt, it's been a while since we heard anything from Porter Wagner, so let's call Porter up and have him answer the question, what would you do if Jesus came to your

house?

Jesus came to your house to spend a day or two.

If he came unexpectedly, I wonder what you'd do.

When you saw him coming, would you meet him at the door with arms outstretched and welcome to your heavenly visitor?

Or would you need to change some things before you let him in like burn some magazines and put the Bible where they'd been?

Could you let Jesus walk right in or would you rush about to hide your worldly music and put some hymn books out?

Oh, I know that you'd give your nicest room to such an honored guest, and all the food that you would serve him would be the very best, and you'd keep assured him that you were glad to have him there, that serving him in your house was joy beyond compare.

But would your family conversation keep up its normal pace?

And would you find it hard each mule to say a table-graze?

And what about the songs you sang, the books you like to read?

Would you let him know the things on which your mind and spirit feed?

Would you be glad to have him meet your very closest friends?

Or hope that they'd stay away until his visit ends?

Would you take him with you everywhere that you'd planned to go?

Or maybe change your plans for just a day or so?

Would you be glad to have him stay forever on and on?

Or sigh of great relief when finally he had gone?

You know, it might be interesting to know the things that you'd do if Jesus came in person.

to spend some time with you.

What would you do?

What would

you do if Jesus came to spend some time with

you?

of all the things that you treasure and are valuable to you, the one most thing that you can share that won't cost you anything at all, is just your compassion, your sympathy, and a smile to those less fortunate.

Share a smile today, and even a compliment.

If you go to the grocery store, share a smile, casual, friendly conversation, because some of these people wish they were off too, but they're working, they gotta.

You know, pay the bills.

So share a little compassion and friendliness when you go out.

And for all of you folks that are kind to other people, I have a song just for you.

It's Mel Tillis, Beyond the

Sunset.

morning when with our Savior heaven is begun.

Earth's tall and

ended, O glorious darling beyond the

sunset.

When day is done.

Should you go first, then I remain to walk the road along.

I live in memories, garden, dear, with happy days we've known.

In spring, I'll watch for roses red when fades the lullac blue.

In early fall, when brown leaves fall,

I'll catch a glimpse of you.

Should you go first and I remain to finish with a scroll?

No lengthening shadow shall creep in to make this life sing grow.

We've known so much happiness.

Yes, we've had our cup of joy.

And memory is one gift of God that death cannot destroy.

Should you go first and I remain one thing I'd have you do Walk slowly down that long long path or soon I'll follow you I Want to know each step you take that I may walk the same for Sunday down that lonely road You'll hear me

Call your name Beyond the Sun

oh glad reunion with our dear loved ones who's gone before and that their homeland

will no no part

Nicely
