Raabs for dinner

 devo, coffee and out tippet flowers together for church.  So pretty.  I texted Nancy from where I got the glad bulbs snf dry hot s pviyutr snf yhsnkrf her.  There was a very good speaker for both SS and ;church.  Stacy and Bill.  After church May Kay and John came.  Denny fixed steaks and pickle and hot poppers.  We had corn, bread, and Asian salad.  It was a great meal, eaten with fun friends.  So good.  We had coffee and cashews and chaolate covered almonds on the porch rockers.  After they left we napped.  I didn't go to pickleball and realized at 5:30 I had planned to meet Beth G. and borrow her glue gun.  I felt awful.  I arranged flowers for door prize tomorrow, put together a bouquet for Beth and went to her house.  She has quite a load to carry.  her mom with dementia , a house full of things to sell. an addition to build in Moore head. a scaling hed to make at their place.  When I got home we watched the angel movie.  The impossible.  Lord, watch over all the Nepalee deviation.  

Chopping down the Lilac

 Devo, in the afternoon Denny tried to pull out the Jananeze lilac tree .  It has not been used by me for bouquets.  And He couldn't budge the tree, so he tried from the south side.  Salme .. not budging and she got the bobcat and the chainsaw.  It looks kinda bare with out it there.  .  Hopefully Tardon will Kell the roots.  Lord, guide me.  I need to plant the hydrangea I got at Reifff's.  I picked some exhibits incase we go to the clay county fair on Tuesday.  Lord, help me decide what to do.  Is it a matter of recognition I seek?  Am I being selfish?/. I love the flowers,   Do I need more than that??   In the evening we were watching the ISU IA game and Missy called.  Lord.  Keep them in true center of your will.  Give them strength and health and sleep to meet the challenges before them.  Give the wisdom and fortitude and a very real sense of your presence leading and  guiding them.  I am so thankful you perform miracles.  I claim the center off Your will for their lives.  

Cherokee

 I ws up for devo and heading to Alta to volunteer until 10:15.  Then to sit in parking lot and join Zoom BSF study.  At 1 I inlet the group and got Tyler.  Jack rode the bun home, he wasn't aware of the note in his backpack.  Tyler and I went home. We played outside: The go cart really goes fast!!  Jack found Tyler's glasses.  Of course the day Mandy called into order a second pair, BUT she called and canceled.  We went to as estate sale.  Jason has set up the same person to do an estate sale on Hank's stuff.  I came home and Denny and I walked arouond toes all that he had done.  Odor airbnbers are related to Lynn N.  Another great night at the farm.  

Heading home

 I went to the pond with Keith,  Quick visit with Craig, stopped by Bruce's then pickleball, then headed home.  I stopped at Reiff's greenhouse north of Floyd and bought a hydrangea.  Then straight to Susan's for Study.  I left after prayer time was over and headed home.  Denny has been really busy trimming the undergrowth of the pine trees, and mowing and getting ready for Airbnb guest.  What a husband!!!

Visiting Marilyn

 II got up and played Pickleball with Jan'e friends again.  So fun!!!  I went to see Bev at BSF and from there we went to see Marilyn.  She was having lunch and so we didn't use the cCasey's pizza I had ordered.  We visited at her lunch table, out in the patio, and in her room.  She read from the story book she had written when she was in 9th grade.  It is always hard to go when it is time to leave.  Hard for her and us.  Bev and I took a ride to a Waukon Amish grocery store, but it wasn't as good as the one north of Cresco.  I bought cottage cheese, and cream cheese.  She bought some containers for Church bazaar food.  

Visit Amish grocery store

I like to get up and listen to DAB while I lay in bed.  I went over for coffee and then 3 of Jane's friends came to the shed to play pickleball.  It was fun, we laughed a lot.  Keith even came into the shed to see what all the ruckus was about.  Fay came and she Jane and I went adventuring.  We stopped at Seed savers, the Depot and then to Vantage Amish grocery store.  That was fun!!!  At night Bev and Merlee invited us for supper.  Great time visiting around their table.   

Drive to NE Iowa

 I left about 9 and got to Keith's around 2.  Craig was with Marilyn, when I called Diane and she invited me to join Dean and Ardie for Tom's birthday cake.  It was good to visit.  I stopped at Bruce's to do a quick visit with Fay and Jerry and Bruce.  I slept out in the shed in the upstairs bedroom.
