                Last week was another busy week for the Roberts’ with several doctor appointments and Physical Therapy sessions for Philip and a special trip to Winterset to see their granddaughter Addie Burkett perform in her sixth grade band and vocal concert.

                Mother’s Day was a real family affair when three of their four children came by with cards and gifts and child number four called in her best wishes from Winterset. Toni had fixed a light lunch of BBQ pork sandwiches and pasta salad for whomever would be stopping by to visit.  “Takers” included included Lori Bardole and Chris Roberts of Rippey and Matt Roberts and granddaughter Cassie Bardole of Jefferson. Brenda Roberts had stopped by earlier and granddaughter, Sarah Bradley and two boys had brought flowers to grandma Toni Thursday! It was great having the kids home for a visit and a meal around the table!

                Andrianna Hanaman and Omar Gallardo from Duluth, MN, visited with her grandparents, Dale and Nancy Hanaman over the weekend. They were here for a competition in Des Moines,, Dale and Nancy took them on a short tour of local history to the site of the Greene County Coal Mine, Truman Davis’ grave and Squirrel Hollow. Adrianna and Omar also helped plant the garden.
