Well, Monday was June 23rd, so was the time for some Kenwood RV Park people to come to our place to play Pegs & Jokers. Harold & LaRoahda Neher from Hiawatha, KS drove in mid morning and Bob & Bobby Raab from Minneapolis, MN came in the afternoon. Butch & Dorothy Geisking were coming, but had called Sunday night that Dorothy was suffering from a cold and they decided not to drive down from Titonka, IA. Doris & Lyle Winter from Browerville, MN had considered coming, but weren't able to.
Monday evening it was cool enough we fixed hamburgers & brats on the grill and ate on our deck.
After more Pegs & Jokers we ate lemon pie Phyllis made from lemons we had gotten in Texas. (She squeezes them, puts the juice in ice-cube trays and after frozen puts them in zip-lock bags--3 or 4 cubes makes a pie just like from fresh lemons)
Tuesday morning we ate at Vaughn's Cafe uptown and then drove around the area showing them the town and where we used to live in the country west of Clarinda. Back to the house and after visiting they went back to the motel for naps. By 3:30 in the afternoon we were back to Pegs & Jokers after having a late lunch. We then switched to Manipulation and by about 5:30 Patty Steckelberg from Shenandoah had joined us.
By 8 pm we were back on the deck to enjoy home-made ice cream, rhubarb pie, fresh strawberries and warm chocolate topping.
And, all too soon, it was over. Both couples were heading back home this morning. We sure enjoyed our time with them, and Patty.
Monday morning I had added some screening to the guttering on a very long run on the north side of our house where it turns. Almost every storm the leaves and debris had built up at the corner and water overran the guttering. Will see if this helps.
Good time was had by all. Got back a little late (62 miles from Clarinda to Savannah).
We are heading out to the west for two weeks tomorrow. With car only, no RV. Will spend 4 nights in Callaway, NE where we will attend my All-School Reunion on the weekend. Hope to visit with my brother Darrell & his family while there who are coming up from Miami, FL; and see some old childhood friends. Will then go on to Sterling, CO to Phyllis' cousin and then to Estes Park where we will visit with our Activity Director from Kenwwod RV (she manages an RV park there in the summer) and finally on to Grand Lake, CO where we spend a week or so at Phyllis' sister's place.
Don't know how much WIFI will have, or how much data I want to use up on my Verizon Account to do much posting while traveling. As always, you can view any of my photos at my Picasa
Later, Lynn
