Happy Mother’s Day! Mom Hall came to Pella with Becky and Suzanna yesterday. We took Grandma VH to Pizza Ranch for lunch. Mom VW is at their ‘playhouse’ on Lake of the Ozarks through the rest of this week and then returns to DSM for her 2nd cataract surgery.- Wendy survived her first week commuting to the new office in Sully. It’s about a 20-30 minute drive, (depending on the amount of farm implement traffic in Peoria! Ha!). She’s been putting in ALOT of hours with the transition. One little surprise has been Faye Brand’s dog, who likes to sneak into the office and lay by Faye’s desk (which means he lays between Faye and Wendy).
- It was a long week of client meetings for me this week, with one overnight in Lincoln, NE. By the time I got back to the office on Friday the stack of work that had piled up was deep and wide.
- We decided to forget work yesterday and just enjoy the day together. After lunch with mom & grandma we headed to DSM for some shopping and finished the day having dinner with my brother, Tim, who was proudly showing off one of the two guitars he finished last week. Sounds like he’s going to buy an old commercial building in Red Wing, MN to convert to a home and guitar shop.
- Taylor and Madison are counting down the days until school’s out for the summer (3 weeks!). Madison is taking Driver’s Ed before leaving for Thailand. Taylor has been working a lot of hours at the restaurant and is hoping to pick up another part-time job.
- It’s been stinkin’ COLD, with rain and wind all week. Feels more like late November instead of mid-May (Most of the Tulips are still up if you want to stop by and see them).
