Sat. August 14


Ran 2 miles. Grandpa fixed his renown Cheesey eggs for the Grands. He left for work about 7:45. Matt golfed in the am and spent the day / night with his classmates. I took kids to Arthur to deliver flowers to the morning come and go coffee. We took some fruit cups and coffee cake to share with GGma and GGpa. We stopped at the tent site and I helped fold up chairs while Halley wiped them off with a towel. At the folks, the kids sat on a rug in the living room to eat while we visited. Torren loves the book Socks that GGma reads to him. Great to play at the farm. Haley made vases of flowers for rooms in the house. We basically just hung out. Denny headed to Denison after work. Haley and Torren ate Lunchables under the tree house. At 1:30 we headed to Arthur for the AMAZING CHEMISTRY SHOW. And it was GOOD! Then ice cream. The cookies and cream was great, but the malt chocolate was better. At home Torren Denny and I napped. Haley watched a Disney VCR. I put together 2 big flower arrangements for the from of church. Didn't know how I was going to transport them, but Harskamps came out and helped. I made a fire for hot dogs for Denny to fix with the Grands. Hard to get everything fit in when they are here for only a couple days. We try hard get it all in. Church was at 7. Denny gave a testimony on how the church has influenced us. Sam Dose made an excellant DVD giving the history of E Free and present day activities. Denny took the kids home and put them to bed. I came home and cleaned up my kitchen which was a mess.

  1. Congratulations on your new job. I try to keep up with what you are doing. We are busy trying to preserve the food from the garden and orchard, but I never get everything done!

    David's dad has been in ICU in Sioux City for 3 weeks. Tomorrow, they are taking the ventilator tube out of his throat. He has been able to breathe for 12 hours at a time without its help. He will transition to a Bipap machine to help when he gets tired. The plan is to transport him back to Pocahontas to the hospice care unit. He has advanced stage liver cancer, but had surgery for his colon cancer.

    Halle leaves for Iowa on Saturday. I'm not really ready to have her go to college. It changes everything. I've so enjoyed her. I know she will have great adventures, and I am excited for her She returns tomorrow from 5 days in CA, visiting family friends in San Diego and her brother in LA. Stop in some time if you are in our area. We would love to see you.
