Went to Iowa State Fair in Des Moines on Saturday then on to Marengo, IA that evening to be there for Granddaughter Ashley and husband Heath's baptism of their daughter Jessica on Sunday morning.
This is during the baptism at the First United Methodist Church in Marengo, IA on Sunday morning.
At noon we enjoyed a picnic at the shelter on the town square and a cake honoring Jessica's baptism.
This is before the baptism ceremony.
And, the proud parents with Jessica Lynn.
At the Iowa State Fair on Saturday, we had a good time looking at displays of quilts, and photos and other exhibits, walking most of the exhibitor booths and making a few purchases. Rode the tram through the campgrounds -- they were full this year, it looked like -- as well as tram all around the fair grounds when we had walked to the point that our feet hurt. All in all, was a good day. Under clouds most of the day and only partly cloudy in the afternoon, with very cool walking around.

Got the long hedge that runs along the whole width of our lot trimmed --
Finally getting tomatoes off the 4 plants by the back deck. Birds seem to like them, too, so have to pick them before they get to them.
Oh, one more old photo. Found this with Mom's things. Am pretty sure it is her, but no idea when this would have been taken.

| Date on this photo is May 1986 -- couple months before Melvin passed away. |
