April in Iowa


 64 degrees with bright sunshine in Clarinda, IA at 12:40 pm Wednesday.  Guess I haven't written for a while--will try to catch up.


My oldest brother and wife celebrated their 65th Wedding Anniversary on April 5th and I picked this picture off the Facebook.  


All of their kids/grandkids were there  except grandson Steven & family who are in Germany where Steven is in the US Army.  Here is recent photo of them, also.






Not too many lawns in the city have corn shucks on their lawn, but we do. Last year there was corn across the road to the southwest.  Imagine there will be soybeans this year.  We are told that the city is going to take some of that farmground and develope housing on it.  Will see what developes.


Monday we went to Omaha for a doctor's visit and then did major shopping to replenish the grocery larder here since we returned from Texas a week ago.


One of the shopping places was Costco and we had to get their foot-long all-beef hot dog and pop for $1.50 each.  Best hot dog (and meal) on the planet!




Last Saturday evening we visited friends Leland and Bonnie Brown.  They are getting up there in years and are limited in getting around any more.  There two living kids, Steven from Sidney, IA and Sheryl from Missoula, Montana, both have birthdays this week and were visiting them.

Have choir practice tonight.  Was going to visit Harold & LaRhoada Neher near Hiawatha, KS and/or brother Roger & Carolyn Miles this week, but will try to both of them sometime next week.


This young Lilac bush was set
back by spraying last year and
only has a few leaves on it.  Had a few
mornings of 30 degrees so covered it.











Until next time,
Lynn

"Paint" by numbers - on the smartphone

 Recent weeks I got into several apps of paint by numbers and Phyllis also picked up on it.  Our phones are tied together, so saved pictures...
