First Walk With the Twins

Went out with the girls for a walk on the nice day. Stopped here to see how much they have grown.

A link to show how much the girls have grown.


I stopped walking and just waited to see how long it would take for them to notice I wasn't there. Finally Constance turns around and tells me to hurry up. Savannah just kept going.

A Wade In The Park

I'm always on the lookout for a new and differant place to go walking. Keep it interesting so I don't get bored and not want to do it. I was out for a drive when I saw the sign for this place. My sister had been there and said it was nice but I didn't know if it was that big of a place or had anywhere to walk.


I don't know how to say it. I knew I'd never remember how to spell it.


A lot is still very wet...wet in a marsh who knew.



next to it is the yards for the Iowa Railroad.. All along the fence a bunch of guys are hanging out and taking notes. Found out they are train spotters. I'm not going in to what they do and won't judge them...

Where In The World is This

Was shown a new street that will help to get around better. Its not that well known and why they called it what they did I also don't know.

Road Side Sights

I just needed to get out of town so I took a little road trip north. I'd heard about the McCausland mound so I found it and here it is..

It Was All Her Idea

Went to Old Lady Gimm's house for a book exchange. It was her idea that we get rid of all the books that we don't want anymore. Had a lunch and some wine and then looked over what every one else brought. We are going to try it again in a couple months

Treats With the Girls

After a rough day of shopping and then a dinner of home made mac and cheese it was time for the treats. Ice Cream. Carmel, chocolate something. Star burst it was called.



Constance sharing

I'm not going to share .....

Buffalo Bill's Birthday.

Today the Buffalo Bill Museum in Le Claire Iowa held a birthday party for Buffalo Bill. And he was there. Looked good for 164. Museum is very nice and shows the history of the area.

Two of the older citizens of Le Claire.
