Sioux City

After our overnight at the Cozy C in Bowling Green, we headed on toward Des Moines. We stopped for lunch with and old friend at Mount Pleasant and had a good visit with her.

Then we traveled on to overnight at the Walmart in Pella, IA. The next morning we drove on to Des Moines and had the oil and transmission fluid changed on the motor home. Later that day we finally arrived at Volunteer Village at Saylorville Lake, our home for the next 2 months.

 I volunteered in natural resources again this year, with much of the time spent on the zero turn mowers. We enjoyed our time there visiting our kids and grandkids there along with a new grandson and volunteer friends.

We drove the Jeep up to Cherokee one weekend and had a celebration of my oldest sister Kathleen's life. We had a lot of good visits with family and enjoyed the weekend.

 The time at Saylorville Lake went by much too fast and we were off to Sioux City where another new grandson and his family awaited our arrival.

It is good to spend time here with family and old friends. There are always projects there to keep us busy. One of the big ones this year was new carpet for the motor home. /We weren't sure what we were doing, but we tackled it anyway. We are happy with the way it turned out.

Time passes quickly and we have a little over a week left here before we head out to Michigan to visit our son and his family there.
