I weeded before heading to Golf at Holstein. Good to get a few of those weeds out before OGT come tomorrow. It was pink out day at Keenaqgers. So pretty with everyone in pink. I p played with From Holstein. We shot a 42. Of course out of the money. :). I headed to Olive B next and picked up a few dress shirts for Missy. Then to Cherokee to meet Mandy and go thru Hayes's. $100 donation. I brought the boys home. SO fun to experience all the animation during supper in the sunroom before bedtime. They slept in the compupterroom with the 2 foldout singles chairs put together,. I slept in the home place.

The music was good. The steak was great. Mason F. said that they had aged it for a month in the refrigerator. So good!!! We visited with a variety of people, Veltri's Rita, O'Tools, We stuck around withal they cleaned up. The amount of time the committee put into creating this meal was phenomenal.
