Atlantice get together

 I woke early with lots to do.  Devo, Run to grocery stores for salad ingredients, 2 loads of clothes, cut up head of cabbage from Jane,  Make coleslaw dressing, make cottage cheese veg salad. We left for Atlantic around 9:30.  Fun time at Henderson's visiting with people from 4 Seasons.  Schrums, Bruce N, Jean and Bob, Donna and Wayne, Jackie, Mark and Pat, Mark P, Brad and Louise, Kathy and Johnny, Gene and Karla, Luge and Kit.  I think 231 in all,  We ate a great meal at Jackie's grand daughter The flour Mill.  The live music we came to listen to , canceled because of the rain, so we headed home.

Fishing and Home

 Bruce and I went to Dorchester to fish.  It was a longer than I anticipated drive, but worth the trip.  It was so pretty.   He caught and released 10 trout and then we headed home so he could go golfing at 8.  I left for home about 9:30.  I stopped at Prairie Peddlar and Jane and Jack gave me about 80 lisianthks.  Uffda!! Quite a nice gift.  

Golf and Visiting Marilyn

 I was awake and littering to devo in bed.  At 8 I met my brothers at Silvercrest for golf best ball.   Craig's goal was that we would shoot 4 under par, actually we just shot 3 under par AND we used one of my shots.   From there I played one game of pickleball with Bruce, Paul and Paula.  We came from behind and won.  I went to Wellington to meet Bev.  We had coffee with Aunt Mary and then drove to Ossian.  Well, we took the long way around and eventually drove to Ossian.  We had a nice visit with Marilyn.  She enjoyed when we read her short stories to her.  After we got back to Decorah we ate at Culvers.  The cashew chicken salad was SO good.  I made copies of the pictures of the senior girls.  I got a few frames at The Depot, and Olive Branch and Walmart The girls did not want to meet for th epictures.  At night Jane and I went to Silver creek and looked at mom'2 journals.  Then visited a little on their back patio with Bruce as I wondered how this hammock works.   

                                      

Fun day

I listened to devo in bed.  Craig and I visited and then I went to Keith's.  Anabel's group came about 10.  They rode to the pond on the back of Keith's pickup, unloaded his boards by his dock and then looked at the cabin.  They came back to Keith's and played in the shed.  I went back to Craigs and took a nap before going to Decorah.   Craig called to say he was headed to an Amish store north of Cresco.  I scurried home and hit was fun to look around and shop there.  Bent and expired nonperishable foods.  We headed to Barneys for a sandwich and to meet Mugs.  We ate and she and I visited for an hour after Craig, Keith,Jane, and Bruce left.  As she gave me a ride home I realized I forgot my glasses at Barneys, then my phone on the floor of Mug's car and watch at Jane's.  UFFDA!!!   I slept pretty good.  

Some to Nepal, Some to NE Iowa

 I was up and devo, and packing for Decorah.  I am headed to see my brothers in Decorah.  I volunteered at Olive Branch until 1:30, then headed to Ossian to visit Marilyn.  She is in a nice safe place.  The staff there seems very kind and understanding.  I headed to Decorah and spent the night with Craig.  I stopped at Keith's for a short visit.  Then to bed.

 We slept terrible last night.  I was awake from 2 on.  Every 30 minutes Denny got a watch warning of high heart rate.  We chatgpt it.  Now that's just what I want to do.I got up and put the egg casserole in the oven to be ready by 7.  We left for Alta about 7:30.  Two nice church services at Summit.  I gave away flowers.  Mandy and Jason + and Laurie and Alan came to the second service.  We went to Pizza Ranch after the services.  Fun meal visiting.  The sisters went to a waterpark. We went to get cash and then  home.  Naps and start to fix some food for supper.  Dad fixed tilapia, after supper Brooks and Anabel went to see the farm sunset,  We visited around the table.   Uffda!!   Faith,  Bummer.
