Nice weekend

43º outside at 9:30 am Monday here in Clarinda - high to be 58º with chance of rain later this evening and pretty sure rain overnight.

Saturday morning we drove to Omaha via Highway 2 and I-29.  Lot of water.  I-29 just opened a week or so ago after being closed some 6 weeks from flooding.  Was one lane for a ways, some places, but traffic moved well.  We had been getting I-29 Detour traffic on Highway 71 just a couple blocks from our house for some time.

Phyllis' oldest niece, Ann Gregory, graduated from High School Sunday night and had a party at her parent's , Chris & Becky Gregory, house near Boys Town in Omaha.

After leaving Gregory's we stopped at Costco in Omaha and Aldi's in Council Bluffs.  Just got in the pickup after Aldi's and it started to rain; rained on us all the way home.

Practicing before service at the Methodist Church.

This was joint Westminster Presbyterian and First
United Methodist choirs singing.

After the 8:45 am service at the Methodist Church we went to the Westminster Presbyterian church for their 10:45 am service.

After singing at the second service we went to the local Runza Restaurant with many from the Methodist Church for lunch.  Then we went to local mortuary for visitation of mother of friend Steve Miller.

Well, only 150 days and we will be back in our Kenwood home.  With the temps in the 40's here wondering if should have stayed in Texas; but, the temps there all this week will be in the upper 90's so maybe that is too far the other way!

73 days until we leave for our extended trip in July including Indianola and State Center, IA; Columbus, OH; West Branch, MI; Door County, WI; Pine River, MN with many stops during the trip.                                                                                                                                              GROANER'S CORNER:(( Laws::

A distraught senior citizen phoned her doctor's office.

"Is it true," she wanted to know,   "that the medication you prescribed has to be taken

for the rest of my life?"

"'Yes, I'm afraid so,"' the doctor told her.

There was a moment of silence before the senior lady replied,  "I'm wondering, then,

just how serious is my condition because this prescription is marked 'NO REFILLS'.."

"Nuff said, Lynn
