74º in Clarinda at 8:00 pm. Had a high today around 90º but humidity is relatively low.
Last Wednesday our daughter Michelle came and stayed Wed & Thursday nights. On Thursday we went over to Phyllis' sister Beth & husband Steve's place for lunch. On Friday morning I drove the pickup pulling the travel trailer and Phyllis rode with Michelle and we drove to Marengo, IA. Went to the Methodist Church where they had rehearsal for Emmy & Derek's wedding on Saturday.
It is now 80º with cloudy skies and 20 mph wind out of the south at 1 pm on Tuesday. Yes, I got side-tracked.
Playing Pegs & Jokers with Michelle one evening.
These photos are at rehearsal Friday evening at the Marengo Methodist Church - Jessica was flower girl and David was ring bearer.
After the rehearsal we drove about a mile and a half south of Marengo to the Country Club. Buffet style lunch was served and then everyone helped set up tables and decorate the room for the reception Saturday evening.
Phyllis helped several ladies with Emmy's preparation Saturday morning and after noon until the wedding at 3 pm.
Several photos of the bride's family were taken before the ceremony.

Well, have given you some of the 258 photos I took this weekend. Also have just over a half-hour of video. Pulling our travel trailer, we stopped in Des Moines on way back for some grocery shopping and it is now parked in driveway waiting for our trip to south Texas about the 24th of October.
