You did what?

 Pictures from the last few days. Rich and Donna brought their granddaughters to Iowa for a vacation. Gary, Susan, and Jason came for a gathering, too. Laura had to stay home with back pain.

From L. to R.: Skyler, Scarlet, Nina, Jason, Barb, Gary, Rich, Susan, and Donna.



We visited a few places around the square with the Bell Tower first. 

There is much to see so high in the air. There are buildings that have been "blessed" with art in many places around the town square.  This photo is showing some of the west side. Imagination Alley is on the south side of this photo.


Imagination Alley


This was a south side shot and features The Peony, a popular Chinese restaurant. The owner of the restaurant painted these two.



Barbie Museum came next. It is possible to be overwhelmed with Barbies! 

 Nina is in the foreground, and Gary is in the background


The Barbie museum in Jefferson came about when a lady donated her entire collection to the museum. There are so many Barbies there are too many to count. Come see for yourself!



Scarlet and Skyler stopped to see what Thomas Jefferson was reading.


The three girls and their Grandma, Donna, did some Diamond Art when we were at my new apartment. They took some keyrings home to decorate their rooms.

We all enjoyed the visit. It is always a good time when family gets together.

Jefferson has become somewhat of a center for art, and every year artists are chosen to show their work on the Courthouse Square. These were chosen this year.


This one is sold!



This one takes more than one photo to see all of it. I took two!

Other words for "busy"

I am aware that I have slowed with age, but geez, I didn't know it was going to get this bad! I am way behind on photos, but I will take a stab at getting that caught up after this post. I know it is like a broken record when I use "busy"! 

My friend Colleen is here for the summer, and you would think we would be able to walk like we have in the past, but neither one of us can seem to get a move on together.

This past weekend, the Missouri kids, Gary and Susan, were here, and we walked in the mornings. I do not have a way to measure how far I walk. I have tried to measure by time. In the past, I could walk to the bike trail mile marker and back in one hour. I have yet to walk where I knew how far and how long. Gary and Susan keep track of steps, and they tell me that 2000 steps is a mile. If that is true, I have been walking far more than I thought. For now, I will say it is accurate! I do not walk as often as I should, but any is better than none. This morning I had to shorten it up because of thunder. Which brings up the fact that I can walk inside. I prefer the outside.
