31 to17 bummer!!!

Pretty morning. Grands spent last night here. Denny went to work. I started on an IEP before anyone was up and got a pretty good start on it. Kids went home after we made sugar donuts. I finished pretty much the IEP just in time to head to Odebolt with the Jeep which was making a noise in the engine. It was a broken water pump, that could have been worse if we had not taken it in so soon. They also found a family of mice ... 8 babies and one mama. Lovely. We left the Jeep at Beckmans and took the very clean Prius to Ames. Denny had driven it to Odebolt. The Prius had to be jump started, but he got it running so he could take it to work. He wanted to be the one to drive it for the first time after cleaning it. We got to Ames about 1 when the traffic was thick with tailgaters. 3 hours later we had a new Prius. High mileage red 2015 with 25,000 miles in 10 months. We drove it to Jensens and walked to the stadium, 1.8 miles away. All Cooks had gone into the game and we ended up watching the game on TV with a family next to the Cooks tailgate area. The gal I talked to was Becky M. 's sister. Small world. He husband drives truck and hauls pigs. He was coming to Aldags to get hogs this Wednesday. ISU lost. Trever R. name was announced on a play that he was in first half. After the game we saw Beth and Steven and walked to Mandy and Jason's car near the towers. They gave us a ride back to the stadium where they had to pick up the bike made for 2 that lost it's chain. They headed to Beth and Stevens and we walked to Jensen's. I was starving and so we got a Jimmy Johns sandwich. Boy, was it good!!! Jensens have a cute house right next door to their old house. Visited a little with Alan and headed to bed. Nice day. Nice new car.
