8/4/16 Mark and I went to Des Moines
overnight for an Agrigold Platinum meeting. The farmers that purchase a large quantity of Agrigold seed are invited to attend. Mark also was recognized and
received a nice Platinum award, a framed family photo. We had a very nice time
and a little getaway. It was the weekend to ourselves with Orrie along, but it
was still nice to getaway from all the interruptions at home. I spent Wednesday
at the mall and did some shopping. I had all afternoon and took my time
browsing all the stores. I searched for something that caught my eye, a cute
outfit, dress, top, anything. I guess I must be really picky because I coud'nt
find anything. I even made up my mind that price didn’t matter. I am a thrifty
shopper and don’t like to spend a lot,
but today I wasn’t going to care if I found something I really liked. The purchases of my shopping outing ended up being socks, a belt, and pajamas for myself. If all else fails, I can
always find new pajamas. I never have a problem finding clothes for the kids, I got them each a couple things. Shopping is so hard. In the evening there
was a nice dinner that everyone was required to dress up for. I wore a little
black dress and Mark a blue shirt and sports coat. The dinner was delicious and
the speaker was a farmer and comedian. His key point was, life is short and you
should make a point to laugh and make others smile everyday. Later we took a
walk a few blocks downtown before heading back. I had been cold all day long.
When it is in the 90’s outside like today, it is hard on me to go inside when
the air condition is set at 70. The mall was cold, the hotel was cold, and I
was cold. When we went for our walk, it was still pretty steamy outside. Mark
thought it was hot and I finally didn’t have goosebumps. Thursday morning the
men had breakfast at 6AM followed by more meetings. The spouses had a big breakfast
at 8:30 followed by a short speaker. The weekend was over at noon and we headed
to the Jordan Creek area to Johnny’s and had lunch. I roamed the mall again
while Mark went to his Chiropractor appointment.
Back at home mom took Jacob home
with her after she had stayed the night. I helped Jayden with a riding lesson
to a little neighbor girl.
