My ironing board with an Angel on it.

Needle Threader

When I started Swedish Weaving I didn't have a needle threader so I used a piece of fish line and I liked it so well I stayed with it.

Catching Up

In a weak moment I said "Yes" to playing in a 2-ball tournament with Butch at the Nishna Hills course in Atlantic. I hadn't played since in April on a course in S. Texas. What was I thinking??!! Oh well, I lived through it. We had a terrible score (100) but we did win our entry fee back and we had good company on the course. Randy and Sherri Clark and Dave and Mary Jones. Smile!

Saturday I had a meltdown in the grocery store. Jefferson has one grocery store and it is a Fareway. I went over for a few items one of which was a delicious ham salad that I could eat with my mouth problems. They didn't have it. Yes, I had purchased it there before but apparently they did not restock it. We like muffin bread. It is real iffy that it will be there. We may have to make several trips just to see if it is there! I was out of cream for my coffee. They had it but it was all outdated. They can get it cheaper if they take outdated stuff I am sure of it!! They are the only game in town and they know it. If I could get by with it I would never spend another dime in that store. This morning Butch poured milk on his cereal and it was spoiled. You guessed it, we bought it at Fareway. Thanks for allowing me to vent.Smile!
Friday June 3rd Yesterday Butch went to Des Moines with Bill Gunderson who was working a big
time golf tournament(Allianz). So Bev came here with me and we ate at Angie's Tea Garden for lunch and then walked it off on the bike trail. We walked to the Raccoon
River bridge and back which is over 5 miles. Damn near killed me. Then we
went to the A & W for a tall root beer. We were real dummies and forgot to
take water with us so were very parched by the time we returned to the
depot. We had fun.

I have been fighting a blocked salivary gland so I am just finishing a round
of antibiotics and keeping my bottom teeth out most of the time. I am on the
mend but it has been a bummer! I like my food and the teeth out really slows
me down.

I am scheduled to man the depot at the Raccoon River Valley bike trail head on a volunteer basis for at least one day
(June 18th). It should be fun.

Gee, I guess I am busy!
