So back to Wednesday the 23rd we go. We went to Ames to get the stitches out of my left earlobe where the plastic surgeon had taken his bite. I expected to hear all was well but Noooo! It is cancerous so will have to let him take a bigger bite. I told him we have got to quit meeting like this! He thought I was kidding but I'm not.
My friend Colleen is going to be here until mid-June and staying in the MoHo. We went to the DesMoines airport to pick her up. So good to have my walk and talk buddy back even for a little while.
Did not win at trivia Thursday night. I forgot to wear my smarty pants. Hopefully, we will be back on track next Thursday. And speaking of trivia the local Elks club would like me to have a trivia night like I did in Magnolia park last season and see if we can get some folks excited about it. I am up for the challenge. We do not have the particulars ironed out yet but should have by the end of the week.
Stay tuned.
I have been having some hopefully minor heart issues and will be going through some tests on the 8th of June. Butch has a cancer taken off his face that same day. We will be in Ames for most of the day. Doesn't that sound like fun?
Spent a few fun hours at the Jason and Laura Brooker house. Nicole and Terry Richardson along with son Ethan were there as well as the Mike Morlan family consisting of Valerie and baby Lincoln. Lincoln will be 6 months old tomorrow. I got some great pics of him.
We are having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave...and I for one do not handle that any better than I do tight schedules. Most of the Midwest is dealing with it and the poor people of Iowa are more than a little pissed that they were cheated out of Spring. Cannot say as I blame them. Going from March weather to July weather in a matter of days isn't fair. Butch is keeping the satellite dish/bird bath stocked with fresh water and the birds seem grateful. There is a waiting line.
The Deja Vu group ( Jeffersonians who grew up here and returned) had the first gathering of the season at the McQuillens. We had a good time despite the heat. We had supplemental fans and the deck is fully shaded and that made it tolerable. We also celebrated Mickey's birthday. Each one we celebrate reminds all of us to be grateful that we are still here to kick up our heels at least a little bit and throw caution to the wind for a few hours.
The fuzz from a cottonwood tree looks like snow on the bike trail.
Pretty daisies.
