July 12 - Meals on Wheels
We departed O’Fallon, IL at 7:30 am arriving in Marengo, IA for a brief visit with Gary’s Mom. She recently fell and broke several ribs, and is in quite a bit of pain. Visits with Darlene tend to be tearful, as it is difficult for her to accept her physical decline. We then stopped by the farm to give Swisher some bones and other food scraps and were delightfully surprised to see his brother Jim out working in the garden. After a look around the farm and a nice visit with Jim, it was off to Des Moines where we got the big pieces of Haylee’s furniture moved to her fall address (Jewett Hall) We enjoyed a wonderful Thai dinner out with Haylee and her boyfriend Nick, then it was down the road for an overnight stop in Onawa, IA.
