We dropped the girls, Lucy and Betty off at Ben and Anna's home so they could dog sit for us. We sure appreciate those two fine folks.
After we punched out from work for the week we hit the road heading South to Des Moines,Iowa for a visit with my mom and dad, brother and his family.
We pulled in about 5:30 and of course mom had a splendid supper prepared for us.
We spent the rest of the evening chatting and getting caught up on all the news.
Saturday morning we were up at the crack of nine and ready to hit the town.
My, has that city ever grown! You name it, they have it. Downtown we saw the new big library, convention center, theatre, performing arts center, several museums and countless new buildings.
The city really took the bull by the horns and made the downtown area a showpiece.
After checking out the downtown we went over to the SE part of the city and checked out some of the RV lots. You know us, we are always looking for that deal. Anyway, we fell in love with several units. You can tell that business is slow. They were ready to sell us anything they had for cost plus a few bucks. When they discount the units 40 to 50% you know they want to move some product.
The good news is, we did not buy another unit. The bad news is, we did not buy another unit!
Time to get back to the folks place and dress for dinner. Paul's family was expected soon for cocktails then off to dinner.
It was a fabulous dinner with everything from steaks to seafood to spaghetti....all one one plate or plates! Their special has all that and more. We had to be rolled out of there and stuffed back into our vehicles.
It was then back to the folks home for more beverage and desert. Man, that bunch can really pile away the food!
The next thing we knew it was Sunday morning and time to head back north.
It was a wonderful weekend of family and food. We hope to do it again soon.
That is all for now my loyal readers. Please do join me again real soon for another edition of "Now What Are They Doing?"
