Grandma Scott Turned 93

Hello all,

After Zac's soccer game (we froze) Zac and I headed up to Iowa to attend my Gramda Scott's 93rd birthday party at the Malvern Fire Station. Zac was not scheduled to come with me, but when I asked him if he wanted to go, he said sure. He wanted to see Dade, Maddie and Brooke. So off we headed to Iowa. He fell asleep between St. Joe and Craig. It was a struggle to stay awake. Have you ever tried to drive when someone is snoring in the back seat? The long, deep rhythmic breathing will lull even the most determined driver into a trance. It was twice as hard with the chorus of the wiper blades clearing the windshield ever 2 seconds. I was relieved to exit in Hamburg and get off of I-29. I was almost to my destination.

The party was well attended. I enjoyed my conversation with my cousins Rod and Renea. We picked up right where we left off the last time we were together. It is nice to know you can always go home and be accepted again.

This evening Mom and I went up to Papillon to eat dinner with Nic and Danna's family. Zac went ahead with Nic to get a bath. He had a little too much fun playing on the fire trucks and was covered in dirt.
Dinner was great. Zac ate all of his grilled cheese sandwich and I enjoyed my pork tenderloin. Before dinner, I was able to win 2 of 3 games of darts. I think Kevin was taking it easy on me.

After dinner, Zac, mom and I headed back to Tabor to watch the final scenes of The Wizard Of Oz at Fremont-Mills. I had a chance to see some of my classmates. Many of them have not changed much in 10 years. It was good to see you Trent and Alex.

It is time for bed now. The weatherman is calling for a bunch of snow for tomorrow. It should be a long day.
