For an hour or so last night, I found myself alone atop a parking ramp downtown with a few gnats and two crows ... guess I didn't need to arrive quite as early as I did for the Iowa City fireworks display!!! Nonetheless, I had a killer view of Hubbard Park where they were being fired, and I was soon joined by my friends Jon and Susie, Joel, and Thomas ... enjoy the shots!
Jon, Susie, and I had a big day today --- the farmers' market, the New Pioneer Co-Op, a lunch of Spanish tapas at Devotay, a stop by a new sewing store and a used bookstore downtown, a trip to Stringtown Grocery and the Cheese Factory in Kalona, a visit to the Old Iowa Capitol museum, and an afternoon of music at the jazz fest --- plus some Whitey's ice cream! It's a blessing in life to have friends one is able to pick up in conversation right where you last left --- even if it's been a few months or even years since you last saw each other in person. True friendship is one of life's greatest gifts, indeed!
