Getting Ready To Take Off




We have the day off today to prepare for our trip to Des Moines. I guess we really don't need the day off to prepare, we just need the day off! That is what vacation days are for.
In another hour or so we will drop the dogs off at Ben and Anna's house then head south. It is sunny outside and -3 degrees with no wind. That should make for nice driving.
If you have never seen the Iowa capitol building, now you have. That is the building in the above picture with all the gold leaf.
The other picture is where my parents live. It is beautiful with about every feature you would want from heated underground parking to an indoor swimming pool.
Saturday night we will be celebrating dad's 88th birthday. We are all going to the Des Moines Golf & Country Club for dinner. My folks have belonged there since I was in high school and we all enjoy going out there. A few years ago all us men folk went to the US Men's PGA Senior Open. That was really fun.
Time to get packing. Thanks for stopping in.
