class reunion 50 years UFFTA!!!!

Breakfast at Bruce's 7:30.  There is always good food there.  I went back to the shed and put together 12 flower arrangements.  About 3 classmates started arriving.  Nice turnout.  I think there were 16 classmates and 8-10 spouses.  We mainly sat around and visited.  Keith's shed was a perfect place.  Her are some of the reunion people.  Diane and Tom W.  Steve A.  Gerry F.  Mugs W.  Kavin and Barb S.  Roger and Linda B.  Bill and Susan L. Shirley and Tim A. Joyce A. Dean and Ardie N. Marlene and Guy W. Marlene and Arlan T. Me and Denny, Susan D. Marilyn Q. Warren S. Daryl G.

Happy Birthday Jack!! 2222222222 :)

Jack is 2!!! So happy to have him in our lives.  He adds laughter and Joy.  May he learn to serve Jesus all the days of his life.

Okay, so I got up and was happy to walk to Craig's, BUT I couldn't find my glasses.  Stress.  I didn't want to wake Denny, so I looked downstairs. ALOT.  Well, not having glasses negated my playing pickle ball in Decorah.  So I had coffee with Jane, who consoled me by saying we could play pickle ball with Nancy, Steve and either Keith or Bruce.  Duh... Guess, I hadn't thought of that.  It would definitely work.  I walked to Craig's, visited, and walked around the yard that Marilyn has put hours of mowing and planning to make look great.    Back at the shed Denny and I drove to Harmony and had breakfast, and stopped to get peaches ast an Amish farm.  I played pickle ball with Nancy, Steve, and Keith/Bruce.  Denny put together Keith's saw, I sprayed the pickle ball floor.  Jane fixed brats for lunch, we napped.  Denny and I went to Toppling Goliath at 4.  We joined Bill L. on the tour and visited with him afterward.  Roger and Linda B. and Dean and Ardie N. joined us later.    Back to the shed by 10.  Nice day in  NE Iowa.

 I HATE TO LOSE MY GLASSES!!!!

Happy 4th of July

Slept in and when I got up a had a cup of coffee on the deck, the morning was beautiful.   We packed the car for the weekend and headed to Battle Creek.  There was a good turnout for handing out water Church bottles during the parade.  Then we headed to NE Iowa.   Denny hadn't seen the Keith's shed that we are staying in.  Really nice.  The east side is an air-conditioned with a kitchen area and upper sofa/pull out sleeping area upstairs.  The main shed has a pickle ball/volleyball court.  It should be a great space to use for our class reunion.   We visited with Keith and Jane.  She does all the mowing with a PUSH mower.  Uffta!!  They just ordered a zero turn today.  Hurrah!!  Bruce stopped and we talked on the patio of the shed until Dark thirty.

When we met before the parade, we posed for a "Who's (Miss) ing" picture.  

full day ... did not so much

Pickleball with Sue at 5.  Uffta, she again beat me 3 out of 4 games.  Guess I shouldn't have taught her so well.   I took the car to Carroll, they changed oil and ordered a part for the back wheel well.  BUT the car is really shimmying as we drove to Burr Oak later in the week.  I had pulled down some scrap books from the garage crawl space and I looked at them and sent some pictures to Selections so they could print up 9 5x7.  Lindsey gave me a hair cut.  At home I lay out stuff for weekend, picked flowers, and Denny weeded.  My day was actually kind of a third row day.

Swing saga continues

AM mix.  Call cardio.  List of numbered exercises and you have to do the numbered exercise that matches your phone number.  Good workout,  I read Devos and then headed to OGT.  When I got home I watered plants then went to golf with Julie.  Good day, but I shot a 56.  Nothing to brag about.

Meal with Glenn, Elef, and Daphne.  YUM!!  :)

Matts' tree limb fell down.   :( 

 Phillip stepped on something :(

Uffta!! Taking out fence is work!!

Spin class.  At 9 I went to Shirley D. and visited and got some hostas from her.  At home Denny was clipping off the twisted wires from hog panel fencing across the road.  Then we worked together.  He drove the bob cat, I put the chain around post, he lifted the posts out of the ground, I unhooked the chain and repeat.  Until the bobcat tire went flat.  We took it into town and came home and piled the hog panels in piles, back to town, got tire and put it on, used bob cat to drag wire panels to place north of the cattle shed.  ditto for 40 steel posts.  Good to get it done.  Denny went out to spray weeds there, I started to plant hosts from Shirley.  Tired and planting completed.  :)

Headed home

Nice am.  Church at Green Valley.  Church again at Hope Church of Christ for Kane's VBS program. We headed north and Denny dropped me off at Atlantic.  He went home for Voga (2 at rec center) and I stayed in Atlantic for pickle ball (7 outside in the hot weather).  When we both got home most of the flowers were wilted because of the heat.  Of course, we couldn't find the new sprinkler that I had put in a wide place.  BUT we got water on some of the plants.  Later in the evening I helped Freeja pick flowers for her mom.  We are just lovin' sittin' and visitin' on the patio at night.
