The Event ~ Grandkids on the Farm

One of our greatest pleasures in this leg of life's journey is having the grandkids come to farm.  We love having them one at a time.  Recently we enjoyed Penny, Charlotte and Wyatt all at the same time for nearly a week.  That was fun, but we were reminded why we so enjoy them one at a time.  Then it is more about one on one, and less about supervision.

In 2018 Willa stayed with us and cut her thumb and tore off her thumb nail on a wood toy clock.  We never did figure out how she did it.  She was one brave little girl.

The Event ~ Trip with Willa and Penny - 2018

Willa came to the farm to spend some time with us.  Then we took her to Denver where we picked up Penny.  The four of us went to Georgetown CO to ride the train, and then on to Frisco to spend some fun time together.    That was a really fun time and the girls were so good.  We really want to do that again!

The Event ~ Minnesota - October 2018

Between Jon's football games in October, Tim and I took a road trip to Minnesota.  We first went to Jon's football game in Norfolk, NE.  Jon had an awesome season playing football as a junior and we look forward to his senior year games.  We spent the nite in Norfolk, and then journeyed North.  Our first stop was at Dianne and Jerry Olson's home in Clark, SD.  Dianne was one of the Magnificent 7 girls from our college days.  From there we did a laid back road trip through the Red River Valley along the Minnesota/North Dakota border.  Such black fertile soil.  We stopped at the headwaters of the Mississippi River near Bemiji, Minnesota. 

On the way back south through the middle part of the state, we again stayed off the interstate and just enjoyed the journey, heading south to Ida Grove, Iowa where we spent a day with Tom and Betty Stewart,  Betty was also one of us Magnificent 7 from college days.

We got back to Omaha to enjoy the next football game that Jon played.

The Event ~ San Francisco - June 2018

I  flew to San Francisco to spend a week with Alexis the end of June 2018.  We had a great time going to Farmers Markets and Street Festivals, a big annual concert in Golden Gate Park.  We walked all the way back to Alexis' house afterwards.  We went hiking along the ocean, and drove north to little quaint towns.  It was a good time together.
