Iowa Fun

 Iowa is all about visiting - and eating - and visiting - and eating!  HA!

The weather was quite cooperative while we were there which made the trip very enjoyable!  Unfortunately Neal and Jen were on vacation that week but at least we got to see their 2 kids along with Nedelle!

Chance and Maggie were staying at friends' so we got their addresses and picked them up around the Blencoe area and then headed to Onawa to pick up Nedelle.  We let the kids choose where they wanted to eat and Mexican was the choice!  The meal was great and we enjoyed catching up with them!

Papa and the 3 grandkids!

Chance and Maggie are getting taller every year!

Sitting in golf carts at Leonard and Patty's place is the evening entertainment - or just sitting outside on chairs having a drink and talking!

Patty and Leonard puchased a golf cart also so Patty took me for a ride!

Late afternoon one day we had our annual farm meeting - Jim always handles everything and it's always good to know how the farm is doing!  Then we headed over to Woodbine to eat - always have a great meal and drinks there!  We opted to take desserts home as we were all so full!

Patty and I walked up to Jim and Brendas' one evening to take pictures of the sunset - they have a wonderful view at their place!

Thursday early evening we met with Glenn's 3 sisters (and one husband!) at the Country Club in Onawa!  It's always fun to catch up with Geri and Carl, Sherry and Deanna.  Glenn got to talk to a couple of people that he knew and we had a wonderful evening!

Sometimes the "full moon" is actually better the night before the actual date of it and this night was no exception!  I love how it was lined up with the old Soldier water tower!

Glenn got to spend time with some old buddies during the week - Patty, Brenda and I headed to Mapleton to have coffee one morning - and Patty and I spent a lot of time just talking!  All in all a great trip to Iowa!
