First thing this morning I went into the bathroom and started getting Mamaw’s panties and bras. Poppy went into the office and asked if I was supposed to have the panties—Oh My God-NO! She took out after me and managed to retrieve her stuff. I was just going to hide it so she couldn’t pack them but she won. I tried with her shoes, and a sock out of the laundry basket—anything I could put my hands on to keep her from going!

Poppy off to work—me in my kennel and Mamaw on an airplane ride. She came home so excited and told me all about it. Brooks, Ron (Poppy's brother) and Mamaw went up from the Ankeny airport and flew over by Earlham. As they were coming back, Brooks wanted to take them downtown to see the Pappajohn Park but Radio Control told Brooks he would have to “shirt Des Moines” because of all the action going on. That’s okay—she got lots of good pictures and said that was one more thing on her “Bucket List” she had accomplished. She told Ron the next time he was back they would have to sky dive! Yeah—right.

Then they drove around downtown and showed all of the improvements to Ron. The East side has done a marvelous job of renovating. They drove around the park so he could see it.

As soon as she got home, we went for another walk. It was very pleasant this time around—I wasn’t in such a big hurry.
