We are in Iowa

Well Pam and I arrived in Iowa yesterday, Friday, late afternoon. We are staying at her cousin Tona's house which we love being at because it is like a Victorian bed and breakfast. She has finished most of the upstairs now and it looks great.

Larry,Tona's husband and I went out to eat while the women went to a party of sorts at Tona's daughters house. We went to the Machine Shed, a restaurant in Davenport Iowa that serves food created from Iowa grown ingredients and boy do they accomplish it. I love Iowa pork chops and I am never disappointed in the chop I get at the Machine Shed, great veggies and coleslaw. I wanted to get Pam's granddaughter a pink stuffed pig, they had one but it was expensive.
This morning we are going over to her sister Patti's house and let her know we are here and surprise her, tonight we are going to see her play, Cowbirds. We also are meeting other family for dinner.
I am listening to Pam and Tona discuss the use of the word cairn as used by a relative, who know's why. Then in the morning,Sunday, the long drive back to Chattanooga..............................be home soon

Pam and I are on our way to Davenport,Iowa for a quick trip. Its a ten hour drive up and a ten hour drive back on Sunday. But we get to see folks and as aways Pam is excited. We are going to see Patti in the last night of her successful play, the Cowbirds. I will post links later, she is great
