Friday June 3rd Yesterday Butch went to Des Moines with Bill Gunderson who was working a big
time golf tournament(Allianz). So Bev came here with me and we ate at Angie's Tea Garden for lunch and then walked it off on the bike trail. We walked to the Raccoon
River bridge and back which is over 5 miles. Damn near killed me. Then we
went to the A & W for a tall root beer. We were real dummies and forgot to
take water with us so were very parched by the time we returned to the
depot. We had fun.

I have been fighting a blocked salivary gland so I am just finishing a round
of antibiotics and keeping my bottom teeth out most of the time. I am on the
mend but it has been a bummer! I like my food and the teeth out really slows
me down.

I am scheduled to man the depot at the Raccoon River Valley bike trail head on a volunteer basis for at least one day
(June 18th). It should be fun.

Gee, I guess I am busy!

Appearances can definitely fool you, especially with expert help, as you
can see at this website -- go there and enjoy...aren't these amazing?!

Angel has adjusted to her new digs.

Finished first bike ride of the season!!!! 9.58 miles. It was wonderful. Lots of pretty Spring flowers along the trail, light northerly breeze, overcast sky.

Free Campgrounds for RVs
A fantastic resource for us frugal RVers. And as people add new ones it is getting even better. If you know of a campground that is $10 a night or less please add it to the site. Also please pass this on to your RVing friends!

Butch and I went to a square dance in Des Moines last night. Jerry Story was the caller and he was as great as ever. We visited with Don and Marilyn Scott from Yale IA and the McCoy's from Creston IA and many other square dance friends. Marvin Ludwig, our club caller from days past, will be calling a street dance in Creston on Friday, June 3rd at 5:15 PM. We have plans to be there.

Jason and Laura are busy preparing for Nicole's graduation party this weekend and wouldn't you know they developed a plumbing problem. The problem was solved and this is Jason getting things put back together.

Computers generate a great deal of heat and laptops are no exception so I put some extra legs on mine to get it off any surface it rests upon allowing free flow of air beneath it. These were stick ons and I stacked them two high. I believe we purchased them in a hardware store.
