Last Thursday (May 5th) we helped Holly move out of her dorm. How one young lady can have so much stuff in her dorm room and then multiply it times four. I'm surprised there was any room for those girls to even move around. Good thing we brought the van and not the car.
Had to save enough room for Holly.
Holly had a coupon for a free dish/cone of ice cream at Culvers and Grampa mentioned that it was dollar day at Culvers so we had to make a stop before we left Sioux Center. It was kinda dessert before dinner. We took a nice long ride, stopped at Hills for dinner and then drove through Beaver Creek - a nice nostalgic ride.
We took a little ride one evening and found Dick out planting corn. He asked Holly if she'd like to go a couple of rounds with him and off she went. Might turn her into a "Midwest gal" yet.
We were thrilled to have both Holly and Chase for the weekend. Holly was able to procure some in-line skates and she wanted to try them out. She told Chase he had to walk beside her to make sure she didn't fall - if you look closely at their hands, you can easily see that she is hanging on and he's a bit indifferent.
Holly and Chase took a couple of bike rides together, watched a "little" very interesting video clips with me and we played several games. We played Tucson (a variation of Aggravation) and Holly and I absolutely slaughtered the guys. What a great weekend!!!
Holly even made "penny casserole" for dinner last night - a big hit with Chase. Grampa and I are OK with it but certainly not a big favorite of ours. Thanks for being such good sports about spending your weekend with the old folks.
Our Holly played her violin at church yesterday morning and it was beautiful. Yes, I cried. She played a medley of "What a Friend We Have in Jesus, In His Time and It Is Well With My Soul" - beautiful!!!
Today she is finishing up her wash and dividing things between what to take on vacation next week, what to have brought to her when we go in July and what to leave here for next school year.
Hope you all have a great week ahead - I know we will. DeAnn, can I keep her another week? PLEASE!!!!!!
Love to all,
Gramma and MOM
