This drawing is mom's heart repair. You can see the four blockages, with the red vessels being the actual bypasses of the blockages. Pretty neat that they provide the patient with this picture. The nurses on 6th floor were looking everywhere for this drawing. They didn't think to ask me!
Corn shucking day. Somewhere between 25 and 30 dozen.
Not all of the helpers were present to participate in this almost annual Iowa event. Dad and my brother, Glen, here.
Glen and Longhaul!
Sister, Peg, cutting away.
The boys started school on August 9th.
I left Iowa on Tuesday, August 10th, via hitchhiking to Cedar Rapids with Glen's friend, Sherry. Flew Allegiant Air for the first time. I was not the recipient of one of those $39 one way fares. Had no troubles. Got to the Mesa Gateway airport, which is only a few minutes from Beth and Greg's house,only to find out the baggage claim was in a temporary tent outside...in the lovely 110 degree weather. So much for landing ahead of schedule, as I had to wait for 30 minutes to get my luggage.
Stayed overnight, as I had some appts on Wednesday. The boys can always think of entertainment. Here they rigged up a train with all of these vehicles in order to give the cat a leisurely ride in the grocery cart.
An addition to our fleet of motorized vehicles. JB's quad he managed to purchase when he was camping in Colorado. It's 10 years old but in very good shape. "It's just what he wanted". Picked it up Sunday in Globe/Miami from Woody, a brother of our Colorado friend.
This is the new quilt that you might have previously read about. New bed skirt and curtains to match. Getting rid of the 13 year old blue stuff. I'd say it's about time.

Bought new mattresses for the bunk beds yesterday. This is the first time there has been "real" mattresses on the bed. Found three slightly used "fancy pants" stuffed down the side of the bed. I wonder whose they were....and also found several articles of little boys clothing. Missing any socks???
I love this picture that was taken after school was out in the spring at their favorite park.

I also love this picture of the great gopher hunt at Greg's parents farm in MN. They look so proud, don't they?
This is it for now. Next up will be JB's construction project.
