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.
