Country Music at Monarch Place - near Oregon, Missouri

 62º here in Clarinda, IA at 8:45 am Tuesday.  

Was 50º when I went to the Softub at 8 am this morning.  Cooling weather into fall!

Sunday Patty Steckelberg went with us to a place near Oregon,MO to country western music program with Sharon & Roger Kenaston, Mike Hughes, and Vance & Debra Monday.

This 3-year old building was built about 2.5 miles down a limestone rock road and is definitley rural.  Owner told us they have weddings and music venues.  Is on their 360 acre farm.

These two photos are to the back of the building, where wedding photos are taken.

One evening last week we spent about 35 minutes in a 3-block line of cars to get up to the Lutheran Church where they were holding a free-will donation fish dinner as a fund raiser for the Lutheran School.

Was a good meal of deep-fried fish with corn and cheesy potatoes!

Must share a photo of Phyllis' cousin-in-law Kim Runyan with her grandkids.  They live in central Mississippi and we had visited with them on our way to Texas in the fall of 2022.

At left is latest picture of our Great Grandson David Long.

These photos were sent to us by friend in Kenwood RV.

After having the lot to the west of us empty for the last 7 or 8 years, the park has moved in a mobile home they will rent or sell.  Been a long time since we had a unit that close on that side

Will leaave in an hour or so to make Blood Donation for Red Cross Blood Mobile here in Clarinda.

All for now, LC
