55 degrees in Marengo, IA at 10:00 am on Saturday morning. Was 43 earlier.
Well, with cool weather here and getting close to our leaving the country, Phyllis picked all the tomatoes Thursday, red and green, and I chopped down the plants. They had really grown large over the summer.

| Here is what it looked like Wednesday. |

| Thursday noon we ate lunch with Roberta Rarick. |
 |
| Was in Tornado Watch Thursday evening - this was sky |
 |
| More clouds Thursday evening. Color was much brighter than here. |
Friday I mowed the lawn and Phyllis packed the pickup and we left home about 11:30 am. Ate lunch at one of the "Mom & Pop" restaurants from our 'Our Iowa' book on Iowa Restaurants in Corning, IA. Took all county roads and a few state roads for the almost 200 mile drive to Marengo, IA where our son and family live.
They took us out to eat at Williamsburg, IA - photo at left is of our Great-Granddaughter Jessica. Guess this weekend trip is all about seeing her while she is still this size -- she will be bigger next April-or May when we see her next.

We will be here until Sunday afternoon. Going uptown in Marengo in a bit to watch an event that Grandson-in-law Heath has some of his high-school musical students in a program on the town square.
Later, Lynn
