Tuesday, the ground was just drying up enough to get back in the field when more rain. It was cold rainy and steady. We have so little harvested and now we are waiting. All this rain was so needed in July and August, but not now. Last Friday we got several inches of rain. Sunday was up in the 80's and I had to turn the A/C on because it was hot and humid. Today we had to turn the heat on, it was down in the 40's. Only in Iowa can you switch from A/C to heat back and forth in the same week multiple times.
We have not been able to combine all week. The forecast showed more rain, so Mark and I planned a last minute outing. We took off for Des Moines. first going out to a movie. I had heard about a theater where you order food and have a waiter serve you during the movie. The movie was a survival/love story called "The Mountain Between Us." It was a good show and we enjoyed our food. After that, we stayed in a hotel in downtown Des Moines. The building was from the 1900's and recently renovated. It was decorated so neat and modern. Our room had chandeliers above the hot tub, fireplace, and fancy furniture. We hope to try new places and experience different hotels and towns in Iowa for some short getaways in the future. Life is busy, hectic and full of distractions, sometimes a couple need to just get away from it all and have some quiet time. It was a nice getaway even though it wasnt far and it wasn't long, it is just nice and refreshing . Outside the storm moved in with heavy downpours. Areas around home got 3 inches.
While we were away Jaynie and Rylie came to stay and had some cousin time. Jayden took everyone out to eat at Pizza Ranch in Boone. They all stayed up late playing video games, painting, and watching movies. I look back to what I was doing and where I was going at the age of 17 and I am so proud and amazed by Jayden. She is such a great kid, responsible and and trustworthy.
