2019 July 25 Thursday in Cutty’s, Grimes, Iowa

63° and mostly cloudy, except on the eastern horizon. It reached 81° before an early evening rain shower moved through.

Morning sunshine a little later than usual today

This was the gang at Cutty’s cafe this morning. We were down a couple (see yesterday’s post) but still were able to come up with some words of wisdom.

Ella and I were dressed as Mr and Mrs Claus today. It was Christmas in July at the Grimes senior center. I had a few folks sit on my lap for pictures. In the same community center as the seniors group, a very large group (40+?) of pre teens were practicing a play. I walked in wearing the full Santa suit and surprised them. I didn’t stay. I was just dropping in to make sure they were going to continue to be good for the next 6 months.

In the evening, we drove up to the cafe and found some of the usual suspects, who had come up for pulled pork sandwiches.

We had gone for a drive when Ella decided that she needed to feed the ducks. There is female white duck that has two yellow and two black ducklings.

Lyn, a long time friend called and asked if we wanted to meet for Chinese for supper. Yes. Sowe made arrangements to meet at 6:30 at the only Chinese restaurant in Grimes. We arrived a little early and saw the sign that read, “We close today”. I called to tell Lyn and we made plans to meet at Cozy Cafe.
