A Visit to Calhoun's Garden of the North

Saturday, Pat and I attended a wedding in Bettendorf, Iowa, 90 miles from home.

Bettendorf??? That's where Terry and Linda live! Let's have lunch together! And so it came to pass.

We visited a bit, then went to lunch—but first a tour of the small, weedless, garden behind their house. "Calhoun's Garden of the North," I'd call it.

It's very lush and green, as lack of rain has not been a problem in Eastern Iowa this year.

 After lunch, we visited two county parks with camping, as Linda knew I was interested in county parks which offer camping for RVs. (Because of previous help from her, these two were already entered on http://countyparks.us.)

Terry, as expected, is keeping busy keeping the yard and garden neat and painting houses. Linda is continuing efforts to relieve the pain in her foot, with some intermittent success.

Here are the four of us at their home. They added the entry way columns and roof a few years ago. It makes an attractive addition.

And would you believe I caught Terry sitting and relaxing! That's TWO times this year!!

We were very favorably impressed with both Bettendorf and Davenport. There were trees everywhere! And lots of attractions to visit. We vowed that we should indeed return and take in some of these interesting places.

The best part was spending some time with friends from Rockport 35 RV Park! We surely get to make lots of wonderful friends there, don't we!

PS: We did go to the wedding and it was very, very, nice. And it was only eight blocks from Terry and Linda's home!

First Comment:

Good to see and hear that Linda and Terry are doing great.  Hi Linda and Terry. Your backyard flower garden is lovely and looks like the perfect spot to enjoy a few quiet minutes at the end of the day to contemplate all the wonders of God. Missing you and all our Rockport friends, but not wishing away time, will see you both later this year. 
Take care ~ Dianne and Rick
