PT

 I couldn't sleep after 3, so I lay quietly until 5.  

Trip to SC

I had devo in the house, so Denny wouldn't be bothered (blinded) by the light.  I went to OGT until about 10 when Denny stopped to get me.    We went to SC to get stuff for Denny, A haircut, Shoes at Randolfs, A winter coat / socks / shirt at Farm Fleet.  I got $16 of takeout crab rangoon and potstickers at Mr. Stir Fry.  Heading home about 3:30.  God day ... especially the food and the navy shoes I got at Randolfs.    

                                                                                                                                                   

At home

 Slow getting up and around.  Denny headed out to drive tractor for Larsons.  He just got back here at 6:37 pm.  I kept busy all day ... kinda. but really didn't accomplish very much.  Ya, the Kettle bread I just started at 10 burnt while I was looking at facebook reels.  I thought I had set a 8 minute timer.  Uffda!!! I did put the glad in the CSA barn to dry.  I did 2 loads of laundry and fold and put away.  I picked flowers for the airbnb guests that are coming.  (They got here after midnight. Uffda!)  Denny put in 9 1/2 hours of mowing.  Good day.   AND I WATCHED A LOT OF THE PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST meetings.  PTL!!

I captured the loving look that Craig is giving Marilyn while we were taking a picture and she is happily talking to the photographer.  So cute, So telling,         55?+ YEARS OF MARRIAGE. 

Sunday Funday

SS and church.  We took the #407 sheet of Info that Denny and prepared to Sue and Craig.   I think they will have a great time in Texas.  Left over pizza for lunch and next came a nap.  We love a slo restful Sunday.  Yesterday Matt was the wedding official for Scott H marriage. Pictures from there look great.  I was looking at pictures of Dad,  and I kinda think they look alike.  Cool

Traveling home.

I got up, showered and packed the car.  Then I went out and picked some of Keith's flowers to put in a vase from Diane Webb.  Craig supposed it last night and I worked out well.  I headed to Bruce's for breakfast.  He was quite busy getting bags of apples for everyone.  Craig and Marilyn,  Julie, Hendesons, Ben and Becca,  The breakfast was great.  I took the milk I bought last night to Keith's and took the expired milk to Craig's for the cats there.  On then way to Washington Prairie church I stopped at a garage sale and bought 2 fans of stands for $2 each.  The memorial was very nice.  There were 7 cousins represented there.  Ginny G., Myrna Faye, Craig, Gail, Bruce and me, plus Gerry's widow, Linda.  Bruce had gotten a  card and collected $ and I put it with then flowers that came from Keith's yard.  I took most of the lunch with me as I headed to Elgin to watch Asher Z. play soccer and visit with Renessa and Ryan.  I got home about 6.  Denny was just taking the Mower back to Wanda's bin site.  SO GOOD TO BE HOME WITH DENNY.  I had gotten Casey's 40 percent off pizza in Sac City for supper.  

NE Iowa Art Tour

 I headed to Decorah to play pickleball for an hour before meeting Mugs and heading out on the studio Art tour.  We went to Waukon first to the artist of farm animals.  Then back to Decorah to see Elea's art work.  I told Mugs about BSF and we had lunch at Wildberry while I had the zoom call with Cherry.  We went to Highlandville, stopping as Locust church where I got some succulents and a Dutch shoe pot for them.  It was great to see Warren S. woodwork and catch up on our lives.  And it was fun to surprise Steve A.  and sit on his second story porch and watch the chickens, ducks and guenies.  Mugs took me back to my car in Decorah and I headed to Bruces with guacamole and crackers for snack before going to Mabe's pizza with Craig, Marilyn, Ben, Becca, Julie, Hendersons and me and Bruce.  Back at Bruce's, he started a fire in the fire pit.  Lovely night.

A day with Marilyn

 I headed to Craig's about 9.  Bruce, Fred, Merle and Craig played 3 rounds of golf at Silvercrest.  Marilyn and I had a great day.  Craig gave us a couple of suggestions, but I didn't get the directions right to Dian'e T. place.  We ended up in Bluffton and using the bathroom at the bar there.  Bev had invited us over for leftover Casey's pizza.  We sat in front of Fox with the presidents cabinet meeting and had lunch.  At home I rested and Marilyn putsed around.  While we were out on their deck in the double swing that Craig had gotten there was en Eagle that flew overhead.  Bruce called to say that they were going to play some cards.  Marilyn and I picked up Diane T. before visiting some of the stores in downtown Decorah.  Craig met us at Culver's for shrimp.   He took Marilyn home and after I dropped Diane at her home I went to Bluffton and visited with Diane W and Tom for a couple of hours.  Nice day in NE Iowa.
