Friday, May 28th Jason, Allison, Levi, Kate, and Chase came to Iowa for a visit. Allison’s sister Bridget and her two sons, Oliver and Hugh came also. They came in two cars so it was a caravan! Of course Roy and Phyllis were there although I had to be at the church Saturday morning until 2 PM and also Monday morning. That was when they left to go back to Wisconsin.
Other visitors were Pete, Yvette, Arthur, Avery, and Aden Bardole from Jefferson. Tim and Lori Bardole from Rippey, and Cassie and Quill Bardole from Jefferson.
Oliver and Hugh had never been to a farm so they got the full experience that weekend! There was lots of go-cart, motorcycle riding. The boys had a metal detector and found some very old objects! Nothing too valuable, but still fun. There were BB guns also.
Cassie and Kate got to do another Carpool Karaoke!! They have so much fun, but Cassie said they are running out of songs they both know. We said we wouldn’t remember that they did them before. They are my oldest and youngest granddaughters. They have fun together! Schy’s cows had been moved to the “old grove”, so they went up there to see them and even fed them a little corn.
Schyler, Lauren, Adam, and Luke were not able to come. Luke had been sick and they didn’t want to give it to anyone. We missed them.
Roy, Jason, Allison, and Bridget went to see Pleasant Hill church and cemetery. I guess there are also still tracks of the stagecoach there. They said the gravestones had lots of young who died way too soon.
When I got home from church Saturday, the family gave me a boost by planting some petunias and dividing some hostas! Then Tim and Lori went to find some mulch and a clematis. They didn’t find the clematis, but did bring home a hydrangea! Arthur and Avery helped divide and weed. I may have to see if they can come again to do that. Roy said it gave us a new lease on life to have the landscaping done. He doesn’t have time and I give out after a little while.
It was fun having the family here. Bridget was so appreciative. She had been going through cancer treatments and now has to have radiation. It made a good diversion. They may come anytime Jason and Allison and family come.
