Boring

I have decided that I am boring...  I have also figured out why I just sit around here so much.  When we lived in Ottumwa, when I got tired of sitting I went outside to check out the "back 40."  I'd check on my flowers, pull some weeds, take a picture of a flower, etc.  I can't do that here.  Well, I suppose I could, but there aren't any flowers around our condo except some iris and they're done for the year.  I suppose I could help Dave sweep the garage floor (which holds about 50 cars)...huge!  Maybe I'll see if he'll let me mow in the back yard this week.

Monday

This was a resting day for me.  I was so tired after the weekend.  Dave is, too, but we have different methods of how we cope.  I rest...Dave goes to Bryan's and mows!

Tonight we're watching the Olympics, but other than that we haven't done much!

Sunday

It's been so long since I blogged, I'm not sure if I remember how!  We left for our little anniversary weekend away on Friday morning.  We went to a place called Harvest Farm Campground near the Minnesota-Iowa border.  It was a beautiful campground and had dozens of campers.  I'd say they were pretty full.  They even had probably 20 tents in another area.  HFC is a non-working dairy farm, although there were cows within 50' of us.  I woke up both Sat & Sun thinking there was a cow out and walking in between the campers!  This one cow was quite vocal!

On Saturday we went exploring into Minnesota.  We drove to Harmony, then  on to a scenic bluffs road along the Root River.  We ended up about 15 miles from the Mississippi River, but we turned around and headed back to Harmony to have dinner at a local restaurant that specialized in homemade pies.  We've been watching the 7 episodes of Star Wars when we're camping.  We're ready for the 6th one!  We're camping again next week at Adventureland.  Hopefully we'll get to watch the last two next week.  George Lucas is a very creative, strange man.  So fun!

It's good to be home!

Thursday

We spent today doing things around here and packing to take off in the morning.  I don't have a clue if we'll have wifi at this campground so don't expect any blogging by me until Sunday.   If there's wifi, I'll be sure to write something about our surroundings.

We're going to leave early in the morning so we can get there around 10:30 or so.  Dave already has told me that I can't sleep until 9:00 like I do many mornings.  :)

Big old thunderstorms are around Iowa tonight.  I sure hope everyone is okay.  We didn't get hit very hard here, but it poured for a bit.

Wednesday

Dave mowed here at the condo today...it was hot and muggy!  I stayed inside today.  I sewed a pillowcase for Dave's wedge in the camper.  It turned out pretty good!

Speaking of camping, we're going camping this week.  We're going up by Riceville at the Minnesota/Iowa border.  We wanted someplace less than 2 hours away and most of the campgrounds over by the river were full already.

Tuesday

We went back to the Grout Museum today.  We went thru the 2nd World War, the Korean War, and Vietnam.  Wow!  Lots of very interesting information.  I also walked my laps in the garage so now my hips are really tired.  Dave went to his committee (condo) meeting tonight only to find out that it's not until Thursday night!  Too funny!

Monday

I only got 5 hours of sleep last night.  I stayed up to watch the Cubs extra innings and I was so excited so I couldn't calm down enough to sleep.  Plus, I'd taken a nap yesterday afternoon so that didn't help any.

I got up, took my shower and got busy finishing my cushion cover.  This is what it looked like before:

 And this is what it looks like now!  It finally matches the color of our bedroom!  Yay!

Dave was out mowing at Bryan's so I had the house all to myself this morning.  I even went to the garage to walk a couple of laps!  I also filed paperwork and cleaned up my desk.  Hmmm...maybe 5 hours of sleep is enough!
