No post since Wednesday! Geez!!!

Thursday We went to Ames so I could have a stress test. Yippie-skippie. The old Afib has been giving me a bit of a fit lately so we have to have everything checked out. This isn't new news so don't get excited. I'm not.
I did well on the stress test. I usually do. So far all tests have been good results. Not all tests are in yet but I am being hopeful.
Friday I had another appt in Ankeny with a lady-part doctor. Nuff said.
Then we went to Menards and purchased some flooring for the motorhome. It is getting closer to a reality.
Today Karla and I went garage saleing and she scored a few items. Butch and Jason played golf. I am thinking that catches you up for the time being.
We have been busy doing "stuff". And soon it could be fun stuff so stay tuned!

Strawberries

When Gary and Susan bought their place in Peculiar MO, the previous owners had established a strawberry bed in the raised flower beds around the house. A real blessing because this time of year they enjoy the fresh picked berries very much. I am told that little Leo is particularly fond of them.
Gary sent me these pictures. Yum!

I think planting them in raised flower beds is a very good idea.

Time slips through my fingers

Yesterday I went for a trail ride with the GoPro but it did not compare to the day before. Cloudy and uneventful for the most part. Jason did come over and met up with me on the trail and we had a few adventures like seeing a Redstart bird of which we did not even know existed. Looked it up when we came home. Butch and Jason then went to play golf and I took a nap, tried to do something with the GoPro videos and the next thing I know the day is done!

Project beginnings

Here is a youtube video of the beginning of our MoHo project. I need to get better at editing but we take things one step at a time.

Progress report

Butch and Jason have been tearing out carpet in the moho and I have been helping when I can. We are about halfway with the demo portion of the project. This morning Butch and Jason are golfing and I rode out on the trail to the first bench past the bridge. I regretted not having the GoPro with me, however I have firm plans to have it next time. I put it in my helmet so I cannot forget. This morning the phlox are blooming along with many other flowers and the trail was very active. Didn't see any deer but I did see a large variety of birds, several cats, a beaver on the bridge ( it scurried off for me), runners, some with dogs and other bikers. I wore a sweatshirt and it was a bit cool at 56 degrees but pleasant all the same with the sunshine and slight breeze.
