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.  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 

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.

Mexican with Bergmans'

Bruce H. got a amazing award at the Drake State Track Meet.  WAY TO GO!!!  We worked around the farm all day until we got a hold of Mike and Brenda and went to Lakeview Mexican.  Great meal.  In the morning I planted all the random plants that were around and the 136 gladiola bulbs.  Denny washed the Rav and worked on his car.  The 2 airbnb kids played outside with the wheels. 

ANOTHER rainy gray day ....

Nikki called to say she is coming out to visit with Travis.  She came but Travis was not up yet.   She was sorrowed by the care that has not been given to the 2 dogs.   I don't' remember what I did.   Uffda!! I think it was cool and rainy and we did very little.  I'll have to check my pictures to se if I recored any thing special.   Denny and I worked on the computer  finding out the dates the buildings on our farm were constructed.  Hurrah!!! for Chat GPT.  Bunk house 1880   Grainery cabin 1915    Chicken coop.  1910   CSA Barn 1945.   I worked on a display of Ione Johnson's wedding dress in the bunkhouse.  She probably lived in the bunkhouse/kitchen/I wing of the farmhouse when she and John Gabriel were married in 1923.  Denny's grandparents.  

Happy Birthday, Denny!!!

 Thank you Lord, for my husband of almost 53 years.  He is so skilled, I love that he often played piano Hymns as we traveler long hours in the car.  HE IS AMAZING!!

I stayed in bed until Denny was ready to get up.  Now, that's not a usual happening.  I brought in the cake from Cherokee and grocery presents.  Steaks, brussels sprouts, salad, radishes. whipped cream.  I went to study at 1.  We invited Nikki and Sherry to supper.  Great visit with them out in the chicken coop.  It was fun/relaxing/encouraging to visit om the toasty coop. Nikki was so troubled by the status of the 2 dogs that she saw and she is coming out to visit tomorrow.
