75º with bright sunshine at 1:45 pm Monday here in Clarinda, IA.
While in Callaway last week we got to visit for an hour or so with Dixie (Henry) G'Schwind. She was a few grades behind me--I think in brother Darrell's class, at Lower Lodi Grade School, and in high school. She is having some health issues. They had had a bad wind storm a year or so ago and lost some large trees near their house and I had a hard time recognizing where she lived. Her husband, Dick and son Doug, where there for a bit and got to visit with them also.
Saturday morning we put some flowers in the pickup and went out to the Clarinda Cemetary.

Our daughter-in-law Patty's parents, Fred & Fern Baze's tombstone.
Another stop we made while in Callaway last week was to see Madeline McFate. We had become acquainted with her and Monte Joe when they came to Kenwood RV Park some 12 years ago. Monte Joe has passed on now. She was showing us a quilt she made with many things from the McFate ranch and family.
I made this video for the sound. Was eating on the deck back of our house and the birds are quite vocal.
Rather tranquil scene by our planters on the deck.
