On Friday evening, my parents came up since they had a scheduled massage with Jill Hanna at All about Massage. Jill does an awesome job and if you've never had a massage with "cups" you should try it sometime. It's calling a cupping massage and it's amazing, but you're back may look as if you've been hit in perfectly round circles once she's finished. When the cups are applied, they'll leave marks where you are tense. My back tends to be like that from time to time.
On Saturday morning, we ate a nice breakfast and headed to Urbandale for my parents massage. My Dad and I dropped my Mom off and we headed to my office so he could see what it looked like. I've been there about a year and a half and he hasn't seen where I go everyday!
After my parents were finished, we came back home for a nice lunch! After lunch, my parents headed outside to shuck 110 ears of corn. Dave and I were excited to freeze some this year since the kids seem to love it. Dave was in charge of blanching the corn, I would cut it off the cob and then Dave would bag it in quart bags and freeze it. We ended up getting 30 quart bags. When the snow is flying this fall,fresh sweetcorn mixed with a little butter will be perfect!
After we were finished with the corn, Dave and I quickly got ready to head out to the Iowa Speedway in Newton. Kenny Wallace was going to make an appearance in the Iowa Corn suite, so we wanted to have the chance to meet him. Dave kept telling me how funny he was, but I didn't believe him until I heard him talk. He's a down to earth guy and it was great to hear him talk about how much he loves agriculture and the importance of E15 when they are racing!
