Serendipitous

We used to have a serendipitous experience on occasion but it had been a long time or seemed as though that was true. Yesterday we went to Panora with the idea of attending Bob and Connie Safley's 50th Wedding Anniversary. Bob was Butch's catcher for many of the years he pitched for the Cooper Iowa fast-pitch softball team. At one time, ball games were a big part of our life. It seems we showed up for the party on the wrong day! So we switched gears and decided to see if Jan and Jack Tallman were home. They live on Lake Panorama and were a big part of many of our square dancing years. I called them to see if they were home but they were headed to DesMoines to have their son show them how to put new line on their weed whacker. Jan asked if Butch could do that and of course, he could so they came back home.
We waited for them on their deck. They had not yet traveled very far.

 Busy day on the lake.

 The lesson

After the lesson, Jan called Marv and Judy Smith.  They were going to be our next stop. We met them at the Owl's Nest in Panora for a sandwich followed by a spirited game of cribbage back at Jan and Jack's house. A good time was had by all!! A Serendipitous Day!!
