We were up at 4:30 this morning to pack our bags and by 6 am we were in the car and heading west. We stopped in Iowa City about 11 am and picked up the Ford Escort that Kelle had been using through the summer months. He did not want to deal with the parking issue around campus during the regular school year, so we brought the vehicle back to Clear Lake. Gale had an appointment to have his teeth cleaned at 1:50 pm in Mason City, so he went directly to the dentist’s office. Maureen stopped at Petco in Mason City and picked up some dog food for Lucy before going home to the condo in Clear Lake. She had time to unload the car and settle in before her pedicure appointment at 5:30 pm. Maureen picked up Chinese food on her way home from having her nails done and we enjoyed dinner along with the movie Gale had brought home, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.”
