1. We sightread a bunch of music in handbell choir for the open house at our church's 150th anniversary. I'm not sure we sounded good...but we had a lot of fun.

2. I just melted for 2-1/2 hours at a picnic...good news is that we were with friends...and that I'm now in the air conditioning.

3. I have realized over the last several days the kind of friends I've made here in Iowa, and I'm very grateful for them.
