11:00 am in Kelo RV Park in State
Center, IA at the Kenwood RV Park 2019 Summer Rally. Has been warm, but nice weather. Did have a storm move through about 10 pm
last night, and from the sound of the rain on the roof of our trailer, wouldn’t
be surprised if we got an inch of rain.
Crops look great in this area.
Picture
taken when we visited Bill Oberholzer Friday afternoon in his hospital room in
Des Moines. He was feeling quite chipper
then. He passed away about 7:30 am the
next morning, Saturday.
Here are some photos when we were at the field for the National Balloon Festival in
Indianola, IA on Friday evening.
Friday evening they had a contest where the balloonists (over 100
registered) went up wind and tried to drop a bag on a target in the middle of
the field. Several came real close and
many no-where close.
Most of the trailers and motor-homes are here now – I think 12 or 13. We all went to Pizza Ranch in Marshalltown
last night for supper and then came back and played some pegs & jokers and
also Ed Stanger served ice cream and cake for Dave Gilmore, who will have a birthday
in a few days. I missed it, but couple
guys went out to one of Lola’s farms and picked up sweet corn that the renter
had already picked, and brought it back yesterday. They shucked some of it this morning for
boiling for supper tonight. I understand
Bud and Roberta, from Illinois, got here this morning, but he wasn’t feeling
good, so they went back home. Couple of
couples who will be staying in Marshalltown motels will be arriving today and
tomorrow. We have found that Bill
Oberholzer’s Celebration of Life will be Thursday afternoon in Boone and we are
all planning on going to it.
Until later, Lynn
