Waveland Hello to Julie

Pablo and I ran into Julie (not sure of her name now) Duree at the Waveland this morning. We were just getting our breakfast around 7:30 a.m. and she and her boyfriend were just leaving. It was nice to say hello to an old friend. She said she lives just north of us in a townhome near St. Francis church. She reports her three girls are doing just fine. Amy Duree was in our Amy's class in Creston and now lives in Omaha.

After our brekkie (we decided to dine indoors due to the 46 degree temp) we headed to the FM (Farmer's Market). Despite the chilly thermometer reading, it was really quite delightful out - no wind. We watched two helicopters land on the Court Avenue bridge for Public Works Day. All the gear was out. We walked across on the footbridge by the police station - loved the shadows and lighting.
I loved the booth featuring flower arrangements. Alas I didn't purchase any - as we're leaving for Colorado on Thursday. Plus my flowers from the Cherubs are holding up okay. We stopped at Gateway Market for meat on our way home.

After we got home, Pablo went to work landscaping around the ugly utility boxes in between our unit and Vicki's - in #4. He's been hauling rock back from where he hunts in rural Union County for months. I hope he doesn't have a hernia! Who says townhouse dwellers don't have yard duties?
Odie and I supervised from the deck. Later I did do some detailing on my car in the driveway. It was a fabulous day - mid 60's. We went for a bike ride late in the afternoon. We grilled burger tonight - the ones we bought from Gateway were delish! Perfect spring day.
