We enjoyed about nine games of Jakob's senior year football games, which meant 9 Friday trips to Lincoln.

The Event ~ Summer 2015 and Then Some . . . .

Wow, time flies when having fun.  We started the summer with a family get together in Denver.  Janel and family and Alexis and Val  and Tim and I gathered together at Cash’s house over Memorial weekend.  Cash, Annie, Janel and Alexis then ran the Boulder-Boulder half marathon.  The rest of us hung out at the house enjoying Willa and Penny and playing games.  Later we just enjoyed quality family time together.

 

Jakob then stayed for about six weeks with us helping Tim on the farm.  Despite living in the city (Lincoln), Jakob and his brothers have always been easily and quickl;y transformed into farm boys whenever they get an opportunity to spend extended time on the farm with us. 

 

Later Millie came out for a week.  We went shopping at Goodwill and made lots of cookies!

 

At end of August we embarked on the first Friday of 8 Fridays to travel to Lincoln for Jakob’s Friday nite football games.  They were fast trips, especially when we returned home on Saturday.  But each trip was a fun time getting to watch both Jakob and Josh play varsity football.  Jakob wanted to take me to his homecoming dance, but I found him a younger girl to go with.

At some point during the summer/fall season I took down my Americana collection that has been a part of my living room for 20+ years.  Will sell most of it at the auction or garage sale.

 Again, we enjoyed the Stricker family picnic that has been organized by Tim's parents for the last several years.
