Yesterday we went to Clive Ia with our Hyundai for a recall fix. That was handled with speed and efficiency and then we went to our store of choice these days- Menards! Picked up a few items- not many- and then we went to Patricks in Adel Ia for lunch. Lunch? You might as well say feast. Their portions are huge and mighty tasty. Butch had their meatloaf special and I had a 1/2 order of chicken salad. Neither of us were disappointed. Very good place to eat. This was followed up with a stop at Alco in Perry. I worked at Alco for about 6 months in 1982 or 83 and enjoyed it very much but then I was offered a job at the Panora Medical Clinic so I made the switch. I had not been in the Alco store for many, many years but it is still a nice store to shop.
When we came home we saw that we could now go from the house to the motorhome without our Crocs. Before we had left in the morning we stopped at City Hall to complain about the next door sump pump situation but we were told it was a civic matter and we would need to discuss it with our attorney. So plan B is being mulled over...in our minds...at various hours of the day and night.
Today we are working on getting the microwave installed and laundry caught up. Jason is coming over when he gets off work to help us. Butch will need some muscle to get the microwave in place but he hopes to have all the details done right up to that point. He hollers at me now and then to hold something.
Russ said he would try to make it back some night this week to finish up. The countertop is what is left for him to do. Butch and I along with another helping hand now and then ought to be able to do the remaining things after that. Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel but it is not a full beam just yet.
I called my friend Mickey yesterday to wish her happy birthday and we had a nice visit. Not quite long enough but a nice visit none the less.
