This was a beautiful day and a wonderful Father's Day for Dave. Dave and I went to church this morning - wonderful sermon today. We really enjoy having Sara in the pulpit. She just makes the lessons come alive! She had even arranged to have men's ties on the pulpit and on the candlesticks at the front of the church! I especially liked the reading she did today about "Brothers". It's hard for some of those in our town to hear about our brothers with different cultures and different colored skin...but it was a wonderful reading that hopefully hit home with some in our congregation.

After church, we went to main Amana to have lunch with Bryan. We were going to go to the Brick Haus, but it was closed...I guess it just got too much for the owner to handle. Too bad! So then we went to the Colony Inn where there was about an hour wait. Well, Dave didn't want to wait that long because it was already 1:00, so we went to the Ox Yoke where there was about a 1 hour and 30 minute wait!!! So, we went to Cedar Rapids and ate at a CiCi's Pizza Buffet. Their ads look so good...but I don't believe we'll ever go there again. After lunch the guys decided they needed to go to Harbour Freight (which is a tool store) and I had no choice but to go with them. HF needs to have a place for women to sit and wait for their men! There was absolutely nothing in there that was interesting to women! In fact, they didn't even have any women's tools - you know, pink-handled, or anything! I did, however, get through it.

Once we finished shopping, we headed back to Amana and hit a couple of shops that sold wine. We had some samples. The guys went to the Mill Stream Brewery while I went to Heritage Design, then we all met up again at the Kitchen Sink. All in all, it was a wonderful day - no rain or anything! Thank you, Bryan, for spending the day with us!
