Crack of Dawn

Butch and I arose at 6:00 AM to be sure to make the 8:00 AM appt in Ankeny with my surgeon. She gave me the ol' AOK and said she will see me next Spring for a final assessment.
The drive into Ankeny was beautiful despite the 19 degree temperature. We kept the car nice and toasty warm.
We are back home now and waiting for it to warm up as the weatherman has promised. Butch managed to make himself a bit of work that he is waiting for warmer weather to tackle. At the Elks Club on Wednesday, he ran into a tree trimmer and since we have waited for another guy all summer that hasn't shown up Butch asked him to take care of a tree that has worried Butch for as long as we have lived here. He came yesterday! So now Butch has lots of branches to get piled up in an orderly fashion to wait for Spring and be out of our way.

Last nights trivia session was a disappointment. Some nights we know little to nothing. We did great the first half but the second half tripped us up. It is fun despite the outcome. We enjoy the visiting with friends as much as anything. And very much look forward to next Spring and more trivia.
