Back Home in Iowa

Always good to be back home in Iowa. Of course there are always changes that take place. The old school building that I went to High School in was torn down. Will see what the future holds for the land associated with it. Had an invitation to go to Luther College for an evening of song presented by an acapella group, Unchartered. Steph and Jim shared the evening with us and Jim sang several solos during the show. What talent these young men have. This was the first year that we have had Baltimore Orioles stop at our feeder. Nice to see all the birds back again this spring. Then off to Forest City to catch up with friends there. We picked up our new addition to our tractor collection. This is a 1948 Farmall MD diesel. This tractor represents the one that Jo's Dad had and I had previous on the farm. We had a good day helping Lynn and Fred cut down some trees and remove some stumps. Thought the stumps would never let go. Will make for a nice clearing to watch the wild life. Of course this is graduation time and Dawn and Garry had their son, Tyler, graduate this year. We enjoy getting together with family for these events.
