Iowa State vs ... Somebody

I got up and Denny fixed us breakfast that we ate on the deck.  Beautiful am.  Project:  my flower bed.  First I spread out some of the fertilizer then I took the tiller and ran it about 6 times back and forth.  I don't think it will be too hot and kill the bulbs that I plan to plant at the end of the month. But boy do we need rain.  We left about 12 for Ames.  Once there we past the road to Jensens place, thinking we would find a closer place.  Wrong.  So we went back and parked the car there and walked the 2.1 miles to the tailgate area of the stadium.  Mandy had the bike there.  Present for Jason.  It brought smiles. Best part of the night was visiting with people, especially Schrums while everyone else was at the game.  I also like playing catch with the football after the game.  The walk back to Jensens was eye opening.  So many college students out and about.  Really made me think... How many of them know Jesus?  Lots to pray about.  Nice night.  Good to be staying here.  Jensens' house is so homey and comfortable.

Half day of personal leave

Nice to visit with Mandy this am,  got to love those small times together.  Denny, Mandy and I were out on the deck.  Headed to school.  A student and I went to the grocery store during second hour.  Lauren's grandmother died.  At 11:30 Andrea came as my substitute and I headed home to go to Omaha with Mandy.   We talked nonstop on the way down.  And got lost several times because we were talking, but we were late to nothing and had a great time.  Looked at garden archways in Mo. V.  Went to about 5 thrift stores.  Mandy had a visit with an online school.  We looked at wedding stuff and ate at Kathy and Rory's.  We found 2 bikes for Jensen kids, got lost again, and made it to the airport to pick up Jason by 9:25.  Jason and Mandy talked all the way home.  What a great day.  Also, Praise the Lord, Katelynn L. got a heart transplant today.  Please continue to pray for this sweet 6 month old and the family that lost their child.  Thank you Jesus for the gift of life.  Messed around with some Hawkeye/ Cyclone flowers before getting to bed.  Wonderful day!!!   Missed CSA pickup, but Lynzie took our share.

First night of Awana

Devotions in bed.  Up and picked some flowers before 7 am.  Short early out at school today.  Then overwhelming amount of Computer info for professional developement.  Worked at school until 6, Then Called home and Mandy was there.  There were 204 at Awana tonight.  GREAT! I left after game time to go home and visit with Mandy.  So great to have her home.  She came out to the CSA shed while I put flowers together.  We visited with Denny and watched the 125 video from church.

Home school/ Motorcycle meetings

Read my one a day in bed this am. It seems to work well.  After school I had an appointment for my rash.  I got a shot in my arm and medicine to put on the rash twice a day for a week.  UFFTA I think probably it will get better and I will stop putting it on.  Denny met me coming out of the doctor's office.  He went to motorcycle meeting and I went to get my prescription.  I went to the meeting in the park.  Then to the home school meeting in the library.  Pictures of St. Joe new home. Nice kitchen



 

Fireman's grill

Rash is itchy this am. At school we  had Odyssey training all day. I was so glad Susan, Liz and April were there for part of it.  Lord, Help me apply the knowledge to benefit my students.  A studnet lelft after 2nd houor.  :(  Denny came to our room and studied grass info while I worked on stuff.  So nice.  Then we went to the Fireman grilling. Great to see Don W. there.  Pictures of Cindy's treats, flowers, and Denny and I sitting in the bistro.  Wonder why they call it bistro anyway?????? ... I'll have to google for the answer.

 

cupcakes ... Tom L.'s wedding reception

Read my daily Bible in bed this am.  Grands came down and blew the whistle for Gpa, because he wasn't ready.  I had brought each a cupcake from Ardie's party yesterday and they chose to eat them at the park instead of getting donuts at Sparkies.  Quarterly meeting after church.  Then home for crockpot of zucchini, carrots, onions, chicken and cheese.  Denny napped until time to go to Mike and Taylors reception at Prairie Peddler.  It was so pretty there.  Cindy B. was serving her peitie desserts. Pictures of cupcake kids, church special music and wedding couple,
