On Thursday this week, Mark had an appointment in Des Moines, so I joined him and we went to a movie then out to eat. When we left town the sky was lighting up with tons of lightning. Just as we pulled in to get some gas. the heavy rain and strong winds came. Our weekend was a little quieter than most without a rodeo on the schedule. Here it is August 14 and I feel like our summer was a flash. School is just around the corner and summer will be over.
Friday night the Anderlik girls surprised their parents and had an anniversary party. Matt and Libby were going to host it at their new home, but too much rain made it too muddy. The party was held at Karen and Orries. All of Tim's family and the Muench family were there to have grilled burgers and cake.
Saturday Mark took the boys to Adel for a semi truck show and I went shopping in Ames with Jayden. We were all home in time for supper. After dark we got the fire pit out and threw some wood on and sat outside around the fire. I love to have fire pits and smores in the summer. Sadly, this was the first and only time all summer we had time. Sunday we attended church in Ames and took the truck in for repairs. I really enjoy my Cornerstone visits. We ended up siting behind a family that has a little girl we prayed for as she was going through some long hospital stays . It was neat to see her healthy and smiling.
It has been in the 80's, so nice in the evenings and mornings without the dreaded heat. I enjoy just being outside on days like this. I watch the little kittens playing. They are still at a cute age, Dakota, WallE and Skippy. I adore my kitties. Jayden calls me a crazy cat lady, maybe I am.
Sunday we took a family horse ride. That doesnt happen very often. We all rode down the gravel road and along the creek in the cattle pasture. We even got to enjoy the sunset as we were riding back home.
