Beautiful sunny day here in Iowa but 87 for a high! So crazy for October. Mark and I left at 8:30 and drove to Walford, IA to pick up his college friend, Mike at his home in the country. Mike and Mark graduated in 1969 from Loras College, Dubuque, IA and have kept in touch thru the years. We visited a few other times when we've been in the area. Mike lost his wife Dorothy to cancer in 2014. They have 3 children and 6 grandchildren.
Mike wanted to treat us to breakfast in the Amana Colonies - long time since we had been there (celebrated Michael's graduation from U of Iowa in 1993 here). This weekend is Oktoberfest so lots going on. We ate at Ronneburg restaurant and enjoyed good hearty food and a great visit. Back to Mike's home and got in his truck and he took us around his property to a lovely pond with lots of trees and big building with full kitchen, lots of tables and chairs for entertaining their large family and friends.
