Busy week

85º with a "feel like" OF 88º here in Clarinda, IA at 3:00 pm Friday afternoon.

It has looked like snow almost on the ground the last couple days.  Maple seeds are fluttering down everywhere and if we quit mowing the lawn we would have a maple forest.

Wednesday afternoon LaDonna Cabbage and Joyce Tornholm came to visit while Phyllis' sister Beth and husband Steve were here.

 Wednesday morning had breakfast uptown at the Garrison House with the Gregory's, the C. E. and Carol Hornbuckle from Shenandoah and Patty Steckelberg from Shenandoah.  CE is related to Steve and Carol grew up with Patty.  It was also Patty's birthday so we celebrated that.

Wednesday, at 6 PM we went to Choir Practice at the Methodist Church.  The Westminster Presbyterian Choir practiced with us and we will both sing at both churches this Sunday.

After Choir practice we ate supper at J Bruners in Clarinda with Beth & Steve.  Also got to visit with several of their friends who stopped to visit.

Cussed grass keeps growing so got to mow Wednesday again.

Few iris bloomed near the deck.
Used to have irises on the east side of the
front yard, but they seem to have disappeared.
