After packing things up and visiting with John and Susan Spragg, we drove over to Mason City to see Mark and Diane Holt for a few minutes. Afterwards we returned home to pick up Maureen’s car and stopped to visit with Steve Ford in the parking lot. From here, it was out to see Maureen’s mother, Pat, at Apple Valley Assisted Living and then south on the Interstate to Des Moines. We stopped to see our friends, Bob and Susie, at their townhouse and enjoyed a wonderful roast beef dinner in their home.
Our final destination for the day was our daughter and son-in-law’s where we arrived at 3:30 pm. It was so wonderful to see their smiles and enjoy the reunion. JT had grown from a toddler into a little boy in the past three months and Jess was looking radiant. Late in the afternoon, Gale, Maureen, Jess and JT all piled into the car to pick up some groceries for the week. When we returned to the house, Joe was home from work and we were all ready for a nice meal of hamburgers and homegrown Iowa sweet corn followed by a dessert smorgasbord of fruit pizza, angel food cake w/strawberries and peanut butter and chocolate ice cream!
