jdmkleinWe had a very nice visit with Daughter today. Mother and i drove down to see her. We picked up her computer and hung some new drapes and went out for lunch. The trip down was gorgeous. i know it sounds hokey when i wax poetic about my love for this place, but i don't care. Iowa is beautiful, i don't care which way one looks at it. Where the rolling plains of Iowa meet the Cedar's stream. My home town. The land of my birth. Home of the largest John Deere tractor plant in the U.S. The heart of the bread basket of the U.S. The heartland of America. Land of 80 degree temperature extremes in one 24 hr. period. Birthplace of John Wayne, Johnny Carson, Donna Reed, Herbert Hoover, Annabeth Gish. Working place of Edward James Waller, is it(?), author of Slow Waltz on Cedar Bend and The Bridges of Madison County. Birthplace of Andy Williams, and Harriet Nelson.
The expected low for last night was 45. When i went to bed it was already 57. The expected high for today is 67. It's a good thing i have a pair of sweats pants and shirt. i didn't bring any socks with me this trip. i thought i had left some last year. My toesies are going to freeze today. A good day for being lazy. i think i will read the paper on the back deck today and then rest some.
If i get dressed for going out today, i think i will do the 'export' shopping. i have my list and anything else i might decide i want to take back can be bought later. The time is getting closer and so is Mother's procedure. If i don't get the shopping done soon, i might be pressed for time after.
i was feeling a bit down yesterday when talking with Master. To cheer me up, Master sent a picture to show what He has been doing while i've been gone. He put together a St. Andrews Cross for me. It isn't finished yet, He says He's waiting to custom fit it. i am both excited and nervous about the thought of it. i can't verbalize my feelings farther than that right now. i'll have to do some serious thinking on what it means to me. The cross and all the new rings. i wonder what He has planned. i do know i need to visit the sheera parlor. i really hate having all that hair. It gets wrapped around the labia rings and pulls, and that is not comfortable at all.
