Barnyard news this week: The guineas are not having much success in hatching their eggs. On these very hot days, mamma and poppa goose stand so they can provide shade for the babies. I have learned many new things about the behavior of Doris’ flock and find it very interesting.

Monday evening Linda Madson enjoyed supper at the Cove with friends and former co-workers at Ramsey County Social Services, Brenda Hoime, Judy Hager, Kathy McGarvey and Cindy Quam. We all enjoyed catching up on how everyone is coping with their work and life changes.

Saturday afternoon, Carrie Prince visited Dave and Linda and was kind enough to do some grocery shopping and save us a trip to the store.

Deb and Joel Hjelseth and Kasper of Chattanooga, Tenn., spent a week visiting the Buehler families. While there, they celebrated Deb’s birthday. Happy belated birthday, Deb.
