See all my Gpa's raspberry bushes! WOW! YUMMY!

Can you blame him?

Family all around the table eating! Big family, and this is only PART of our family!

Thursday we drove down to Ames and arrived around noon. To our pleasant surprise, my uncle, aunt, cousin, her husband and two kids were all there to have lunch! It was my uncles' birthday! Happy Birthday Uncle Dave! They brought lunch for everyone! So yummy! Grandma Cowley actually had made a fresh raspberry pie from her very own raspberry bushes! SO YUMMY! (That happens to be my favorite pie! :)) Sat around and visited all afternoon. It was great.

When Nicole told me on during Friday's bible study that she had gone down the day before to see you I just about slugged her! ;-) I hope you had a great visit to Iowa. When are you coming back?
