Friday, April Fools Day - No Joke

I went to Glenwood last night with Cathy & Austin to watch the first track meet of the season. Rain in 40°...cold! We huddled under a blanket and watched the girls throw. After Halle threw her four, it wasn't too long before I told Cathy that I would take Austin to Pamida to look for a jacket, long underwear, stocking cap, umbrella...anything to cover him! He had come with us, straight out of school, with nothing but his slick exercise pants, shirt, and fleece jacket. So, he and I piled into Cathy's Explorer, and took off. We couldn't find anything at Pamida, but at least he was able to warm up a bit in the car...drying out was another thing. When the evening was over, Halle threw 87.6 ft in the discuss, placing 3rd. She also threw shot and ran sprint medley. Wish I could go to LaCrosse matches in Maryland to see my other grandchildren. Despite the weather, being a spectator at a grandchild's event, sporting or otherwise, is AWESOME! Today, I'm getting ready to go to Des Moines with Doug. We are guests of Lisle's at the Bill Cosby show Saturday night. We'll be staying at the Courtyard at Marriott. A nice weekend away, and more on that later.
