Terril Iowa

Well, we arrived in Terril a little while ago. I am on Marlene's computer cuz I have no signal here. She is shopping.
We are thinking of finding a campground because it has been so bloomin' hot and we need both of our air conditioners. Now and while we were in RC we run the front one in the daytime and the back one at night. We need a 50 amp plug in to handle both at the same time. We'll see. It feels cooler up here. Amazing the difference a 100 miles can make.
I ran the GPS on the way up.That thing still amazes me. Telling me how many miles and tenths of a mile it is to the next turn and which way the turn will be and how many minutes and seconds it will be till we arrive at the turn. I am loving it!

Here is the quote for the day...I loved it too!

I received this message from Karyn Juilfs about the round barn-That round barn at Twin Lakes belonged to a family from our church. (Milton and Mary Heins) They donated it to the Bible Camp two years ago and it was quite a project to see it moved the five miles to get to it's new home.

Scott told us to not be surprised if we had deer visitors and he was correct! This morning at 7:30 AM.

We are in Rockwell City Iowa at the RCRV park. It is one block north off hwy 20 at eighth street. It is a wonderful little park and the price is right at $10 a night and that is with full hook up. It is listed in www.freecampgrounds.com. Clark's Grocery is less than a block away and there is a second grocery store downtown. An excellent little restaurant (Jots) is a short distance away as well. Behind the RV park is a walking/nature trail. Twin Lakes is 5 miles away. My sister Myrla lives here and has all her life so it makes a nice place to park and then visit with her and Scott. My mother lived here for years before moving to Cumberland to be near us. Today while in the grocery store a lady thought she knew me. She more than likely had my mother in mind.

These Hollyhocks are in sister Myrla and Scott's yard around her garage and the corner of her house. I asked her if she had planted them and she had not. They had a rural friend bring some dirt in to place around their foundation and the hollyhocks were an unexpected bonus the next summer.
