We made our annual August trip to Wee Villa in Minnesota to go fishing with Mark and Chris. This year we drove separately because Mark, Chris and Annie were going to stay longer. Chris’ brother had arranged for a big get-together there for family and Wee Villa friends. That was okay with us. We came […]
It’s County Fair Time Not that we want the grandkids to grow up faster than they already are, but we have been so anxious to start taking them to some events we hope they might enjoy. We took them to the UNL Rodeo in April at the Lancaster Event Center. That wasn’t probably as interesting […]
Since I haven’t done a very good job of keeping up with the blog this summer, I’ve thrown the whole summer into this big one post. Whew!! Spoiler Alert – This could be a marathon. I’d like to start this one by showing Ken raising the flag on the farm. He always takes time to […]
Day Trip to Creighton (December 22nd) Well, it doesn’t take much to get us motivated to hit the road. This trip proves it. One local TV show we like to watch on weekday mornings is Pure Nebraska. They highlight different business, events, towns, restaurants, etc. around Nebraska; especially in small towns. A week or so […]
Day trip to Homestead and Fairbury (December 13th) Christmas was coming up fast but still the weather was so great that it beckoned us to hit the road again. I saw on Facebook that Carolyn Osborn had put up a beautiful Christmas display at their place south of Fairbury so we decided to make a […]
Baptism (December 12, 2021) I wanted to post some pictures from Micah’s baptism. Micah got to wear Aaron’s baptism outfit. It didn’t quite fit the same on Micah, but just as I thought when I bought it for Aaron years ago, it seemed better than having him wear a baptismal gown. 🙂 I had to […]
Day trip to the Mausoleum and Rose Creek (December 2nd). My suggestion for a day trip was the Mausoleum. I always enjoyed the big family walks we use to take after Thanksgiving dinner years ago. It was fun having family and extended family out on a hiking excursion, talking, watching the kids run around and […]
The Archway (November 17): Around the middle of November daily life was starting to get back to normal; which for us is , chores, doing some sort of exercise first thing in the morning, working on odd jobs around the house, watching Jeopardy twice a day while eating in front of the TV. Exciting isn’t […]
We were so excited to be able to have the quail hunt this year. Ken sent out invitation emails to the hunters telling them the details and letting them know that if they wanted to hunt they would need to be vaccinated. That meant a few of them wouldn’t be coming. Ken also called Uncle […]
One of the magazine/newspaper subscriptions we enjoy is called the Fence Post and one of the columns is written by Milo Yield. He’s an older guy that lives in the Flint Hills in Kansas and he and his wife do little trips just like Ken and I. One of their trips took them to the […]
