A bit cooler in Iowa these few days

 65º here in Clarinda, IA at 8:45 pm Monday.  Forecast to be 54º in the morning!  Unusual for August.

Last Saturday was granddaughter Emily's birthday and we ate at the Iowa River Power Restaurant in Coralville, Iowa.

We got to Marengo Friday after lunch and spent time with Cameron & Patty.  Emily was there as well as Ashley & Heath and their "kids" Jessica & David.  Ate out with them that evening.

Two-year old great grandson David is always entertaining when there is a lull in the activity.

Enjoyed our visit--we left for Clarinda on Sunday morning, just as it was starting to rain.  Got home and was able to mow the 9-day old lawn before the showers came in that evening.

We had spent Sunday through Friday morning with some 26 people, mostly from our winter home at Kenwood RV in La Feria, Texas.

Always a lot of food to go

with the visiting at these

summer rallys.

Dick Messer & Jerry Witt did pancakes on the griddle Friday morning -- had boiled a lot of sweet corn every day up to then.

Well, as usual, I got interrupted.  Is now 11 am on Tuesday - Clear day with 68º.
