Trip North

We did a day trip up to Northern Iowa. It was a work session with Butch wiring John and Marie Kelley's garage. Thus we will need to make another day trip up just for fun. The trip up and back was pleasant and we would not mind doing it again. For one thing, we missed seeing some folks and so we must do a do-over. We listened to a book so the trip itself went fast.


We went to Marlene and Bernards place and then Butch and Bernard went to Spencer to help John with his garage. Marlene and I visited and then Dwight and Carolyn returned from their trip to see their daughter Anna who has recently moved to Cedar Rapids. It was a fun afternoon visiting with people we have not seen for a long time. Dwight grilled brats for supper and Marlene put her magic touch on some side dishes. It was quite a spread and very tasty.
 
On the way home, we stopped to see to see my little sis Myrla in Rockwell City. She is the sister who recently broke her arm to the point she needed a cadaver bone to repair it. She named it Dave you might recall. Dave and Myrla are getting along fine but she says it will be another 4 months with her arm in a device.
Myrla's quarter wolf-dog Hewy is not doing well. He is 14 now and has arthritis in his hips and the poor guy was cripping around pretty good. You could tell every step hurt.

We got home about 9:30 and that bed sure felt good.
