Chilling in Savannah

Today was Kane's birthday party with 3 first grade classmates.  Denny put a birthday gift bike computer on Kane's bike.  Then it took most of the family to get the new swing on a high branch in the back yard tree.  Needed: Tall ladder, ball with a rope attached, trip to S. to get chain and D rings, pick up backed up to get high enough to adjust swing height.  The boys enjoyed riding bikes, water fights, carpet ball, slip and slide, legos, farm equipment toys, trampoline, ice cream cake, lunch able lunch, and the swing.  Successful party.  This morning on the way to the boundary waters Jack stopped to visit Rose.

Happy Birthday Kane!!!! Headed to Savannah

Kane is 8!!!  What a great grandson he is!!!

Sue and I played pickle ball this morning.   When I got home, I did very little.  Denny started to roundup weeds on the cement pads around CSA, coop, trees, and area in front of barn.  I met Kathy R. at Avoca for lunch.  It was great to visit.  After Denny got done working he drove down to join us. From there we drove to Atlantic, left the pick up, and headed to Savannah.  Haley fixed a great supper of egg burritos and roasted potatoes.  We went to a VBS that Kane attended.  They ended with a water balloon fight and popsicles.

Another day - full and fun!!

AM mix at 5:30.  Met an intern of Mortenson windmills at class.  I headed to Holstein to meet Mandy.   She is going North on Friday and will see Luke and Karen on their way to the boundary waters.  Last week when we cleaned the bunk house I found some baby clothes of Luke.  Mandy is taking them to the Minn Jo's.  What a trip down memory lane.   He was such a fun baby.  I went to photo albums and found some pictures of him in those outfits.  Priceless memories.
I visited Dose Garage sale before heading home.  At home it was rainy, but we went out and weeded.  At 1:45 I headed to study at IG.  I took flowers to Susan S. to sell at the FM at 4.  Lenee needed a corkscrew and so I got it for her at Doses.  I met a nice - new-to-IG- family that homeschools.  Denny mowed the lawn while I was in town.  I just worked on my blog and then planted the bulbs that Jean gave me.   The internet/chromebook are not getting along.

WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT THESE BABY CLOTHES OF LUKE'S WOULD BRING SUCH A FLOOD OF WONDERFUL MEMORIES???????

WHAT A WONDERFUL BOY HE WAS/IS !!!!!!

SUCH A CUTIE!!!

I pray that this Minn. Jo. baby 

will bring much joy to Karen and Luke, too.  

Fun day again!!

The night in the chicken coop sofa sleeper went fine.  Gail, Bruce and I went to the rec center to play pickle ball with Sue K.  We stopped at Casey's to get Bruce's fountain diet coke.  Denny fixed breakfast on the grill, but it was raining so we ate in the coop.  After Jean and Hendersons left we took Terri and Dan on an IG tour.  Looked at lots ... not really a big place of excitement, but we sure do appreciate out litlle home town.  We stopped at Old Town and Lenee gave us a tour.  Little lunch at home under the pine tree.  We picked flowers, basil, asparagus and rhubarb before sending Terri and Dan on their way.  So good to have family and friends visit!  Nap time.  Work on blog.  Video at church.  Mow.

Fun Day All Day

I went to AM mix and only stayed in the sauna about 10 minutes.  6 gals came for garden coffee and so I went home to make coffee.  Kim L. Lynn S. Kathy L. Susan S. Julie P. and Denise R. (who I exercised with every morning).  Shirley D. came late.   It had rained until 7 when the gals came.  So pretty!!!   I went to OGT about 9:30 and worked until 11.  I went home to get food ready for supper.  Suddenly Salad and Dole's bag salad.   I went to golf at 1:30 and played with Julie and Carol P.  54, not that great.  Before I home I went to vote on the school bond.  (It passed)  Jean got to our place first, then Hendersons.  The google map took Terri and Dan to our place by way of highway 20.  So good to have Family and Friends spend the night with us.  While we were eating the steaks Denny grilled, I remembered Jane H. and Terri used to work together.  I called Jane and she came out to visit.  Super sweet night.  Gail and Bruce in purple, Jean in computer, Terri and Dan in our room, we slept in the coop.

Jack Day And cupalo moved :)

I went in to bike and abs workout.  Then I headed to Cherokee for a Jack Day.  So much fun.  We were outside for a while.  A crew came to work on radon in the basement.  I made a crock pot meal for Cooks and when Jack was napping I mowed the lawn.   At home Denny had put pork chops into the crock pot.  Denny got out the bobcat to take trash.  Some how I talked him into moving the cupola to the cement by the CSA.   I hope to put trailing vines along the top ring.

Sunday June 23 Pickleball

I went to SS and took some flowers for church.  Then I drove to Atlantic for a pickle ball tourney that Bruce was in charge of.   Gail and I got 2nd out of the four ladies doubles teams.  Luke ran in the Grandma's marathon along the Lake.   I used fabric paint to touch up the pillows and cushions.
