Sunday

It was a beautiful day today.  It really felt like summer outside.  I'm sure the corn grew even more today.  Yesterday when we went to Des Moines, we saw corn already tasseled.  Hard to believe that it's tassled by the 5th of July - it's only supposed to be knee high!!!

We went to church this morning and after church 15 of us went to Appanoose Rapids for their brunch.  Today we had to say goodbye to Cagles.  They've been here for almost 2 years and have been wonderful members of our church family during that time.  We will miss them.  He's an oncologist who goes from one area to another serving patients.  Their next assignment is in Northern Wisconsin - brrrr.

This afternoon, both of us decided to take a nap which didn't happen!  The darn phone rang just after we both nodded off.  So very, very short naps for us!  The phone call was a stupid political survey and I told them I wasn't interested - how was that for patriotism!  Dave went to the garage to sort out what tools he has left and about 4:15 Liz called to see if she could show our house at 5:00!  No problem, right?  We hurried through the house, wiping down sinks, making sure toilets were clean, and cleaning off counters in the kitchen.  Then we took off to ride around town until they were gone!  The people really, really liked the house and are supposedly going to South Ottumwa Savings Bank to see about financing tomorrow.  We'll see about that.  People are capable of saying anything in a time like that.

More later...
