Friday

We both slept in this morning.  It was raining softly on the roof, so it was easy to sleep!!  After we got around, we went to Bob's.  He and Ann went to Cantril with us.  It was really, really crowded!  I didn't think we were going to find a parking place!  We got our popcorn for the winter.  They were giving away both coffee and ice cream cones, so that was probably why there were so many people.

This evening we went to the Recovery Room for tenderloins with Bob & Ann.  I'm stuffed!

Thursday

We're in O-town.  It was a great day for travelling and when we got here, it turned out to be a sunny beautiful day.  We had a meeting with our financial advisor and then we had a Canteen!  They are so good.  They are really good when you only have two Canteens in aa year!  Our financial advisor gave us a couple of things - a book about Alexander Hamilton, a cookie jar shaped like a football, and a dozen chocolate chip cookies from Blaine's Bagels.  Yum, yum!  I probably won't lose weight this week.

Getting Ready

We're heading out tomorrow morning to camp in O-town.  We will leave in the morning and hope to see a bunch of friends...and my brother, of course!  So today was a getting-ready kind of day.  We've got the camper pretty much loaded - just need to get the refrigerator stuff in the morning after breakfast.

Rainy day

It was raining when I got up this morning...and it has rained off and on much of the day..  SE Iowa finally got some rain - unfortunately it came with wind!  Hope everyone is okay down there.

Dave mowed today, both at Bryan's and here at the condo.  He wasn't done more than 5 minutes when it started thundering and raining.  Phew!  Lucky he didn't get wet!

Monday

Today was cleaning day for us.  Thank goodness for Dave.  I can't vacuum and dust on the same day.  If I dust and Dave vacuums, we get it all done in a couple of hours.  Thank you, Dabe!

Today was also another procedure for Baby O.  She was all smiles before her procedure.  The doctors were able to fix the stent they put in a few weeks ago - it had collapsed a bit during her heart surgery.  The docs were very happy with what they saw today and are so far planning to send her home soon.  She is Super Girl!  Thank you all for the prayers!

Sunday

Today was the last sermon in the series about the Lord's Prayer.  I've often wondered why we say, "Lead us not into temptation..."  Change the words a bit to 'Lead us not into trial."  To me, that makes far more sense.  After church we went to Morg's where we split a breakfast.

Tonight we went to Bryan's for dinner.  Aidan and Erin both have colds.  I sure hope we don't catch a cold.  I swear he's growing every time we see him.

Saturday

We had a fun day today....Dave got to go to Bryan's.  I met 10  of my PEO sisters for a tour of Dysart.  We saw gardens that this lady had at her house.  Then we toured their historical museum and saw a country schoolhouse plus a video about the Orphan Train that came to their town.  Five children were adopted in this little town.  They have their stories as well as one of the little boy's homemade coat.  Very moving.  Then we had a good lunch downtown.  Fun morning!

Amazing for a very small town!
