Alta and Soccer

 I was up for devo and shower and was in Alta by 7:15.  Diane and her husband brought 2 van loads from Cherokee.  They were happy to see another pair of hands to move bags and boxes into the store.  I carried in boxes of household and stacked them.  Then I worked with Linda and sorted bags of clothing into summer/ winter/ household.  Lots of bags.  Around 11:15 I asked Eve if she wanted to eat lunch little early.  It was good to visit about my family and hers.  I decided to buy a stand for the electric skillet on the porch next summer.   Hopefully it will work.  There was no golf today, but I had arranged to meet with Jenn for her to buy 4 Iris rhymes.  Jen G. came to the OB and she bought 4 resoles for $7 each and she bought the bouquet I made for the golf doorprize.  YES!!! more (flower) drug money for me.  Jenn and I walked around OB and she bought a couple of things.  When I got home I sorted things I got and made supper/late afternoon for us.

Reading

 Up for studying the SS lesson.  The Airbnb family was leaving for Des Moines.  Cute little family Fun to  have a short visit with them.  After church they had a quarterly meeting.  At home we read.  Luke and Karen went to church with Pete, helped him load the car for the airport, and headed home.  In hind sight I should have probably taken the rocks for Lincoln, plant for Karen and some clothes for Rose to IG for them.  We read in the afternoon.  The dede with run tomorrow.  We made the 2 beds.  I finished the book To Live Well by Alan Noble.  I got it when I visited an Omaha church that supports Jensens.  It was not an easy read for me.  A lot about Josef Pieper, not as much use of the Bible in determining house to live well.

Alta Cherokee

Up for devo, shower, and coffee, then to Alta.  I helped there until 10:30, then headed to Cherokee.  I did BSF from 12-1pm when the boys got out of school.  We went to some garage sale.  I gave each boy $2.  At the first one, they bought a container with a scooter and bike that had wheels that moved with e peddle.  Before we headed home we stopped at New Leaf and the boys got a zip lock full of 20 painted cars.   They played with them when Mandy and I went to Anthon for Found and Made.  It was fun to walk around at look at cool stuff with her.  The bees were out in full force.  We got glass tumblers with wooden lids.  They are so pretty!!.  At home Denny did not go Rodd's.  Bummer .....

pB. Visit Susan

 I went into play pickleball at 8.   Then I texted Goodenows and visited with Susan until about noon. At home one Airbnb is empty.  Denny headed to Denison.  I planted the iris.  I put 2 black with daffodils between them in the west triangle.  I planted 4 pink on the area by the peonies with daffodils between them.  That area is SO grassy.  When I dug into the ground it just crackled with grass roots.  Oh, my. Lord, help the grass die.   I finished my. BSF lesson.   These ar the iris I got to plant.

Clay Fair

 Up for devo, shower, move cars, load Rav, leave for Spencer@6:45.  It took me all the time until 10:30 to get my exhibits on the floor.  UFFDA!!  Denny waited patiently in thee Rav.  A sweet gal Ardis was a super friend and made all the tags for the entries.  AND she was SO sweet, positive.  We parked and walked around thru the vendor buildings.  I had fried cheese curds .. greasy , but good.  We spent time with Bergmans at their site.  Brenda said she would pick up my entries when the shows were over.  We walked around that building.  And loved every display.  SO fun!!  Denny and I ate a Weasel's for supper.  We shared a pork loin meal After we got home we fed our addiction to Facebook reels.  and watched tv before falling asleep.  Good day. I had about 12 first place ribbons, 8 second place, 5 third and 3 honorable mention. No money in HM. :(. I really don't know why I like to share/compete my flowers.  It is a lot of time/work.
