hi it's your friend, Olive.. I know its Monday...

but life goes by WAY too fast to reserve all of our enjoyable times only for your weekend.. so here’s my suggestions for fun through the work week in Iowa.. 1.) go to a neat park & have a nice walk, 2.) throw frisbee to your dog.. 3.) search out a festive relaxing patio that allows dogs (of course) and let someone else cook for you one night. 4.) Thursday nights Farmer’s Market (and they let me to go too) 5.) Grays Lake for a bicycle ride that tunnels under road to Water Works park now.

You’re going to have a great week! Be safe!
