Thursday - May 12

 Off to town at 9 with Mark dropping me off to get a manicure from Lisa.    He went onto get a biscuit and gravy fix at Hardees and then had appt. for PT with Emily.    I walked across the street to Panera when I finished and got a latte and read till Mark picked me up.

Then we got a text from Mark's sister Doris that her granddaughter Emma who has several allergies was about out of her baby formula (Nutramigen) and sending out a plea to family to check our stores and see if we could find any.    We had no luck at HyVee or Jewel - shelves are pretty bare.   Annette and Brooke jumped on the bandwagon as online Target, WalMart, etc. which show they have this, but then really don't!    Arghhhh.    One can was found at a CVS in Chicago area and a few more from a doctor's office.    This is a horrible situation for families to be in and they say it will get worse???

We met Kay (Sublettian) and hubby Jim from AZ for lunch at Biaggi's.....oh so fun.   I was with them last September when Missy and I visited out there.    Mark and Jim really hit it off - love of sailing/boating and other interests.    Kay and I just yakked and yakked and they loved Biaggi's - food and decor.    They are in town for Kay's granddaughter's high school graduation this weekend and visiting family/friends.    They are coming to the Sublettian luncheon on Monday so can't wait to see them again.    Jane and Joe were to be with us today, too, but Jane has Covid, so......

On home to load up the car for our big weekend...1st stop - Iowa City for Drew's graduation!

Folks come and go here at KK and some nights it's pretty full (Montana, Arizona, Texas, Minnesota, Florida, etc., etc.)    This morning after some left, Flo was all by herself.   There are 3 sections and we are in with the big boys (50 amp).    One other came in this afternoon.    Micci said around 20 are coming tomorrow!    

Mark saw and heard the farmer planting corn in a small plot of ground at 7:15 this morning right near Flo.    After all the rain, the farmers are happy to be back in the fields!    Another very warm day!

Thinking of and praying for Mark's youngest brother Tom tonight- he has a detached retina and will be seeing retina specialist 1st thing in the morning.
