MOVING DOWN THE ROAD

We left Omaha and moved on to Grinnell to see Heidi's family and friends. We were scheduled to watch Lucas run two races in Oskaloosa, but it was cancelled due to weather problems. We did spend a day with Wilsons touring southern Iowa and doing a little shopping for my "whimsical garden". We also spent a lovely meal and evening of cards at Fitzgerald's. We taught Wilson's how to play hand & foot, and then we both taught Fitz's. We got down to the farm one day, and looked at what we had in storage and visited with Kathy and Jerry. We also drove to Des Moines for my cousins sons wedding. Here's Jake with his parents, Cindy, and my cousin Roger. (one of my two first cousins)

They're an interesting couple since the bride is 4' 8" & the groom is over 6'.

We then found a place at Tama for the holiday weekend. We stopped in Clear Lake overnight on the way to Minneapolis to see Scott and pick up our stored things there. We stayed at Campers World where they installed a new refrigerator, since ours died. We went back to Clear Lake and the front air conditioner developed a problem. So, we went to Dubuque to have that fixed. That's where we are now, at Swiss Valley, waiting for Thursday's appointment. Then we'll attend our nephew, Jesse's, wedding picnic on Saturday. Next week we'll go back to the farm when Larry Wilson can help us load the storage stuff in the RV. We then will head to Decorah for Dr.'s appointments and hope everything goes well, as I've had a few problems lately. Then, we should be free to head south.
