Aug 23-26 Albert City - Sac City

Drive from Treynor to Albert City took a slight detour by Auburn Iowa to pick up 1 lug of peaches and 10 cantaloupe (ended up running out of both on Market Day, really hard to predict the buyer! Two weeks ago bought 20 and we had too many!) Driving temp outside registered on the car at 101, with humidity felt like 112! Thank goodness for air conditioning! 

Farmers Market Day (24) was a good day! I drove the Kubota as Tom picked 15 dozen corn and tossed each ear directly in the basket on the trailer I was pulling! Goes so much quicker this way! So glad to be a little help. (Turns out Tom had to go picked 3 more dozen corn to fill the demand today!) I think this Farmers Market had the most people coming through in the hour and a half it was open 3:30-5:00 with a guestimation of 50-60 people on one very hot day! Day ended with dinner in Trusdale at the bar for Thursday night breasted chicken! Mmm good! Best part enjoyed it with cousins Gary & Julie, Dick and Sandy, Tom & Joni and Jon’s mom.

Auntie Mavis Day (25) Another fun day spent  sharing stories, running errands, stopping by Albert City’s one gift shop The Straw Horse ( not sure how I have been here 3 weeks and just now made my first visit! Such a fun store with a lovely variety of quality gifts.), picking up a burger to go and eating it at the park overlooking Storm Lake and finally Lesson 2 on quilting together (and a picture to prove it!). The start of our visit had me successfully getting her new TV working again(not sure what I did to fix it but it was working when I left!) 

Pamper Day (26) Today was pamper day for me (pedicure) and my car (a much needed bath)!  This afternoon had a nice visit with cousin Dave and Shar. Oh how I love making connections!

Still enjoying sunsets!
