What is going on at our house? Well as you can see I am being entertained by the great grands antics on facebook for one thing. Butch is working on making order in the garage. The garage was where everything landed that we did not know what to do with. So now the time has come to create order out of chaos and it is coming along although the garage is one place that never seems to stay orderly for very long. When it looks picture ready I will take one but we will have to catch it quick.
I am currently in a place where I am studying decor and placement etc. to see where I might wish to add this or that. I do not want to rush this phase because I will be living with the result for decades to come perhaps.
We have a busy week coming up with Missouri kids coming this next weekend and preceding that we have an invitation to Lake Panorama, Cleavelands are stopping by for a visit and I am getting the carpet cleaned in the motorhome.
We have a new playground in our neighborhood and that news will please Miss Elise. She likes playgrounds and this new one looks like a real humdinger and only a block from us.
I did laundry today and cleaned house. It seemed effortless. I have put so much thought and planning into this place to make it easy to care for and I have succeeded beyond my wildest dreams! It seemed the right time to clean but really the truth be known it was not very dirty or at least it did not seem very dirty.
Bits and pieces: The printer is hooked up wireless and its new home is in the closet. It gets the message to print-I hit print and then walk in there to get the printed page. I am liking this. It will not move this fall. I am taking no chances with it. I have a friend in the park who pays me for Internet and this year I think we will strike a deal with her doing my printing for me and me providing Internet for her.
The smart TV is smart indeed. It is functional and also on our newest Internet network. I have hooked up to Amazon and Netflix. It is such a good feeling when all these things work as they should.

There is a new playground a block from us and the playground connoisseurs in the family say it is top notch.

Our delicious supper-typically Iowa- Sweet Corn and Iowa Chops! Thanks to Laura and Jason.
These kids, Elise, Ethan and Jason all move so fast it is hard to get a picture that is not blurry. Ethan was on the phone with his imaginary friend "Operator".
On Saturday morning we toured the Boone Fire Station mainly because Mike was working and then the whole family could visit with him. The little ones did not want the trucks started up as none of them like loud noises.
Laura, Ethan and Elise look over one of the high dollar fire trucks.
The pole is no longer in use. Considered too dangerous as the newest fireman do not get trained in its proper use.

Pickers have more stuff! Really neat stuff. I hear they are looking for someone to manage their Picker store while they go do more picking. Anyone interested?
