Alta Church

 We slept terrible last night.  I was awake from 2 on.  Every 30 minutes Denny got a watch warning of high heart rate.  We chatgpt it.  Now that's just what I want to do.I got up and put the egg casserole in the oven to be ready by 7.  We left for Alta about 7:30.  Two nice church services at Summit.  I gave away flowers.  Mandy and Jason + and Laurie and Alan came to the second service.  We went to Pizza Ranch after the services.  Fun meal visiting.  The sisters went to a waterpark. We went to get cash and then  home.  Naps and start to fix some food for supper.  Dad fixed tilapia, after supper Brooks and Anabel went to see the farm sunset,  We visited around the table.   Uffda!!   Faith,  Bummer.

Saturday at home with Jensens

A sister phone call woke me up. So good to hear about their lives. Gail had shoulder surgery on Tuesday,  Craig is still PT (pain and torture) rom knee surgery.  Arlen is planning a second knee surgery.  Nancy's circle is going out for lunch on Thursday.  Craig said that I could stay there.  I watched Missy pack bags for N.  Jensens reviewed and paid Anabel's college tuition. After lunch we were planning to go to the rec center, Mandy called and said they would be stopping.  We went into town and they worked out at the rec center.  Mandy was at the Forrest Frank concert in Kansas City with the boys and Ruby and Ruby's mom.  they didn't stop, but just headed home. We went to Dollar Gen and then home.  Denny has gone to Meen's get together.  We had pizza and watched a movie.

Jensens back

 Up for devo in the house.  Nice brief rain during the night.  I put together flowers for Alta Church.  I worked most of the day making egg casserole, cavatine and Denny figuring out protein for Jensnesn.  Jensens got here and we had Cavatini for supper.  Denny also grilled protein, sausage with cheese.  Porkburgers with pepper bacon, and we finished off the pecan pie from Christmas.

Setting up computer

 We were home all day.  Denny was thrilled with clean sunroom carpet.  Lots of work and following Chat and Google info.  He looked at the orange car, trying to decided about the changes he made, it he needed to redo the left hand side of the back door.  I went to Study and picked up Lynn N. We came home and then at 7 I rode in with them and played for a couple hours.   My knee was starting to bother me and so I stopped and we just watched.  When we were done, Lynn, Toshi, Craig and Sue stopped for a visit on the patio.  Beautiful evening.

Fort Dodge

I carried 2 bouquets to the house so Denny could bring with him to Fort Dodge.  I volunteered at Orphan GTand met Denny in Arthur afterwards.  We returned a golf bag and 1retrever. to Paul R.   The boys had picked out a bag and retrievers that they wanted.  We got to the Mineral City restaurant at 11.  Great to visit with Charlie, Ann, Steve, and Sherry.  Before heading home we made a Walmart stop for the right cleaning prouducts to get the stains out!!! Uffda!!!. Denny worked on it all afternoon, saying I should be doing this on my hands and knees.  Unbeknownst to me He was listening to a new song that he told me on Wednesday that he thought it was my song.  "I like it when you're nice to me".

I can't get the picture onto my blog.  Uffda!!!  Took a screen shot and got it!!

Golf

 I was up and playing pickleball with Dave F. Before heading to Cherokee for Keenagers.  I sold 1/5 bouquets,, just $20 for my drug money.   After lunch I went to get boys.  We drove Andrea’s cart and they got about 25 balls.  At home they put on shorts, for VBS, we took the cart keys and flowers to the office to tell Rich thank you. Then we went to New Leaf before VBS.  Mandy and friend are uncharge of VBS and a major part of the skits. It looks like a fun week. At home Denny was tackling the dirty sunroom carpet, without success on the 3 big spots.  Uffda!!!  Nice night in the bunkhouse.
