Mr. & Mrs. Dean Parker and grandchildren, Nicholas & Lauren Hagan, attended the annual fall cookout at their daughter/Aunt, Christy, and her husband, Mark’s, house in Indianola. Potato, Asparagus & chili soup was served along with hotdogs. Other guests brought food to go along with the soup. It was a cool night but the fire that Mark built felt really warm. One guest brought a different dish and it was dates covered with bacon. It was very delicious and a very unusual combination. Also attending were Allan & Jane Brommel from Norwalk, Russ & Stacie Watrous & Taylor of Des Moines, George & Charlene Sankey, Randy & Beth Zimmerman all from Indianola, Diann Cooper of West Des Moines, Cindy Johnston, Clara & Curtis from Indianola and a couple of people who Mark works with at EDS but didn’t catch their names.

Please remember Fran and her family in prayer. This has been a really rough time for them.
