Home to Iowa

With Don on work related travels I headed to Iowa for ten days!  From October 21 to 31 I enjoyed time in the lovely fall celebrating my mom's 85th birthday and then my dad's 89th birthday!  On mom's Sunday birthday they came to Iowa City to eat out and then to my house for cake and ice cream.  It was good to have my brother Bob join us.  The following weekend we celebrated Dad with our annual "farm work day" with help from Jim, Jane, Judy, Jim and us (Don had made it to Iowa for the weekend!)  Windows were washed inside and out, gutters cleaned, bushes trimmed, flower beds readied for the winter and some raking was done all with a delicious soup and sandwich lunch together.  Love our time together.

Landon and Owen did not have school that week on Thursday or Friday.  Grandma Kahler entertained them Thursday.  Friday I joined Melissa (who had traded her Tuesday off for the Friday) and the boys to go to Bloomsbury Farms.  That is always such a fun fall trip.  I picked Don up from the airport late Friday evening from his Michigan to San Diego to Bosnia trip.  Sunday we enjoyed getting to see both Landon and Owen play their last games of soccer.  Such a blessing to catch these fun things with the boys.

Happy birthday, mom and dad!
