Nine inches of rain, and it's still raining! August 28, 2015

 In Randall (Iowa) when I drove through to go to the store.  Yikes.
 Highway 69 north of Ames (Iowa).
My "lake" on the east side of the house in front of the corn field.  (The corn is REALLY tall!)

Grandma Jean MOVES!!!! August 23, 2015

 This is an "after" picture of the new apartment.  It looks pretty good.  (Grandma Jean on the left and her sister, Mary, on the right.)
 The bedroom in mid-finish, but looking cozy with pictures on the wall.
 The 'before' picture of the living area.
The 'after' picture from a different angle to show the kitchen and new refrigerator.  I'm sure it will be an adjustment, but much easier to maintain (and get around) than that big, OLD house of hers!

A tree topples in Des Moines... July 24, 2014

 Even though they didn't get any rain, a storm was close and the wind came up suddenly about noon today and this tree uprooted in my mom's yard and fell against the fence and her neighbor's house.
This view is from the fence between houses, where the tree fell and covers the back of the neighbor's house.
