Getting settled in our "summer" house

71º here in Clarinda, IA at 4:45 pm Wednesday.  Last few days have been busy.

Stopped in Villisca, IA on the way

 home from Marengo, IA on Monday

 and hadlunch with Mary Jo

Herzberg.  Hadn't seen her since

last September just before we left

 when we visited with her and

 Oliver.  He passed away

in February this year when we

 were on the cruise near Central

America..She is looking good and 

doing fine, with this

 major change in life.

Had gone to Church with granddaughter Ashley & her husband Heath and our great granddaughter as well as son Cam and his wife Patty on Easter Morning Sunday in Marengo.
Ashley's live only a few blocks from the church so we walked from her place.on the fine weather morning.

After church Heath's parents came out to Cam's and with the nice weather we all watched Jessica hunt Easter Egs.

Patty, Tom and Sheila Long.

First stop when returning to Clarinda

about 1:30 Monday was at the

airport where an RV Dumpsite is

located.

Taking the flowers out of the entryway

Backed the trailer up to the garage

for a few hours while we transferred \

many things.  Freezer and refrigerator
were full, and all the "stuff" from our

6-months travel.

Moved the trailer to where it will set a few weeks and got on the lawnmower.  Could have bailed some prairie hay if had the right equipment.

This is what I was working with.

Window covering down from the winter.

Hanging back in the window.

Before started putting things on the deck.

Filling the hot tub (the first time)

Had some leaks in the hoses near the motor, had
to drain, move the tub slightly, and start over.

Planting Corn across the street from us.

Planting Corn across the street from us.

Lots of small branches down -- cut these into pieces as
I picked them up.  Can now mow all the grass.

GROANER'S CORNER:((  Pete and Mick were in court and standing before the judge on a charge of fighting.  "Why can't this case be settled out of court?" the judge asked.  Pete looked up at the judge and said, "That's what we were trying to do, your honour, when the police interfered."

Late one night at the insane asylum, one inmate shouted, "I am Napoleon!"  Another patient asked, "How do you know?" The first inmate said, "Because God told me!"  Just then, a voice from another room shouted, "I did NOT!"

One fisherman to another, "You should've seen what happened yesterday at the lake."  "What happened?"  "I caught a twenty-three pound salmon!"  "Were there any witnesses?"  "Yes, of course! If there wasn't, it would've been thirty-three pounds."
