Off to Indianola

 Jean was sleeping but I called her and she started the sister call.  The  Home Place is ready to go when airbnb come tomorrow.  The basement possibly empty.  The strangest occupant yet.  Uffda!!!   I slowly got ready to head to the 50th and left about 9:30.  We stopped at Culvers for chicken tenders.  We got to Schrums, the guys were golfing, we gals went thrifting and Denny chilled at the house.  We went to Katie's and put together flowers for tomorrow.  Next check in motel.  Then to scrums for visiting and great supper brats and salads. I rode with Beth to Katie's fire pit.  I did not sleep well last night. 

First FCA

In am I worked outside.  Can't remember that I actually did much, but Before I left for the HS to meet with the Softball girls I went to the CSA barn and there was a lot of broken glass.  Uffda!! I started to  sweep some up and then saw more ... so I texted Travis and P and had them clean up the mess that the children made.   FCA went well, I think.  9 gals, 30 minute talk.  Just getting to know them.  When I got back to the farm the 3 kids were int he car with the car area full.  They said that Grandma would be at the farm shortly, they loaded the dog and took off.  Well, that didn't happen.  We went to bed and my watch said I didn't sleep very well.  Uffda!! 

Donut champs

 The boys slept pretty well and came upstairs around 7.  Fun morning with breakfast on the porch, playing with Johan and Johnae, shooting a raccoon in the tree, and working with Gpa on nails.  We headed ti Cherokee around 3.  The Rodeo was great!!  Magic, ring toss, free ice cream bars, donut contest, and mutton riding and bucking bull ride machine.  The contestants were given a bag of 121 donut holes for Tyler, 8 donuts for Jack.  Tyler finished 8 holes in 3 minutes and won his age group.  Jack tied by eating 5 donuts. and he won the rock scissor paper challenge.  So he got to take the trophy home.   Great to  spend time together with Jan also.

OB Golf Getting the boys.

 I left about 6:30 for Alta.  They had gotten a lot of donations in and were happy for the help.  I played golf with Jane from Alta, Linda and Carol.  We didn't putt well.  I played not so hot, but beautiful day and it's all good.  I got boys at their place and we headed to the farm about 4.  Denny went to Rod's with Mike.  He was thrilled because some of the car parts were done in Des Moines and we can pick them up on Monday. Denny happily booked an additional night in the Indianola motel.  The boys went to diving up metal in the camp ground.  They found some old square nails and Denny showed them how to make a cross from them.  Denny put on mutton busting videos to get them prepared for tomorrow rodeo.  The boys slept on the pull out love seat.  

OGT SC

 I headed to OGT.  When it was over Denny met me and we went too SC to look for suit for the June wedding.  Lord, guide our decisions.  I cancelled by oral surgeon tooth pulling because the tooth is not hurting me now.  Lord, guide our decisions.  The irises growing are just amazing!!! So pretty 

Memorial Day

 We were just at home all day.  I got my flag fix yesterday at Cobb Park.  I think Denny painted on the '72. I cleaned the Home Place kitchen. I think we may have mowed.  I thank the Lord for the many lives given to preserve our nation.  Bless all the families of service men.  

Water time

SS and church and we gave Laura a ride home from Church.  That gave me the opportunity to sit by water after church.  Cobb Park and the flags were so amazing.  I took a lot of pictures and posted them on innsta and facebook.  Thank you Lord for all who gave their lives for the freedom I enjoy.
