We have had a wonderful vacation and now it is time to return to reality! It was great having some days to "play" in my garden. Then a wonderful time in Indiana and Michigan with our family reunion. We got to visit with my Uncle Dick and Aunt Kay - getting a chance to see my Grandpa's farm and all the hard work that Dick has done there. Time at Posey Chapel, visiting my dad's grave. A great Mexican meal with Uncle Joe and Aunt Pat, Mike & Patty, Dick & Kay! So much fun to have everyone together. Lots of nice visiting time...got to go to the Lake, shopping, our traditional lunch at Carlson's Drive-In, driving by all the old houses. Uncle Joe & Aunt Pat treated us to a wonderful dinner at Ryan's and then we got to look through Joe's scrapbooks from the trip he & Aunt Pat took with my parents to Scotland. Several of us went to see "Pirates" at the late movie. Then John & I drove to Iowa to see Andrew. We had a wonderful time in Cedar Rapids. Andrew took us to see a great garden, where they had every variety of flower and had them all labeled. It was so cool! On Wednesday, Andrew took the day off work and we went to the Amana Colonies. The history at the museum was so interesting. I got to see several old looms, all kinds of farming equipment. We visited Lilly Lake and all the lillies were in bloom. Then we've had several days at home to catch up on everything before going back to work.
Well that's the short summary of 2006's vacation...I'll post pictures as soon as I locate my cable to download them from my camera.
Everyone have a nice week!

Dear Kath:
I enjoyed reading your blog tonight. Miss you and all the "men" a lot. I have had a hectic week. So many important details to take care of with the selling of the Aurora (still waiting on the "buyer" as they had twins last week so cancelled our delivery on the 20th of the car, on Friday my registration ran out so I had to have John take off the license plates or I could be fined if a police checked it out - since I have had it sitting so long on the side of the house on Lakeview road with the signs in its windows and I'll leave it there for the guy to pick up. Hope the deal doesn't fall through. Wish I could have just given it to you and you could have either kept it or traded it in or sold it. Seems like these things bother me more than they used too and I am not as flexible as I once was. I had several pressing matters to take care of all in one day this past week with financial decisions to make, appointments to keep (eye
and foot exams, I just got overwhelmed. Hope this isn't a sign of onset of Alzheimers.
Love you
