Friday July 30

Still rainy when we got up. What to do?? Denny said "Hi" to Linda before she left for work at 6:30. The "call" of the Grands lead us to Parkersburg. We didn't want to start out the weekend wet, so we took the pick up and trailer to Parkersburg and got there about 10. Missy and I headed to Cedar Falls to weigh me in at WW. Thanks Missy! Denny went and played with the kids. After lunch the rain let up. We headed to NE Iowa after giving rides to the Grands and filling with gas. We went to 5 court houses. Butler at Allison, Franklin at Hampton, Cerro Gordo at Mason City. MAN, WERE WE GLAD TO GET TO THE HARLEY DEALER IN M.C. After we filled with gas the engine was really missing. The spark plugs were bad and the bike was a chugging along. At the dealer ...new plug, no chug. :) Then to Floyd in Charles City and Chickasaw in New Hampton. We met Dean and Ardie at the White House in St. Lucas. Great food. After eating we headed to Craig's for the night. They had 3 Grands there. Ben and Becca went to Bluffton for a free concert. I didn't hear them come in and pick up the sleeping little ones.
