Sunday....July 5th....2009

Day 9 of The Great Nebraskan Adventure.....no miles....local travel.....whewwwww!

Last night we had dinner with Marlin and Joni and Pat Taylor, Linda's cousin's wife....Linda's cousin was still in the hospital recovering from surgery.....then we all went back to where our motorhome was parked, as that was where the local fireworks took place....in our face! We have never been so close to fireworks....what a show.
.
Today we had lunch with the Rasmussen family across the parking lot in the meeting center here at Christianson Field.....the Rasmussens are Linda's Father's part of the family....today Linda's cousins were there....offspring of Linda's Father's brothers and Sister.

Then it was off to the Emken family get together for a picnic dinner.....the Emkens are Linda's first husband's side of the family (Linda was a widow). Linda's brothers in law and sister in law were there as many of their sons and daughters. The dinner and company was delightful. Linda's brother in law Al and his wife Barb, took us for a spin around town in his 1965 mustang convertible.
























Linda continues to have high energy and is feeling good...no time for naps but she is holding up well....so well she didn't feel the need to wear her wig today....I was proud of her.

Tomorrow one of her cousins, Ruth Ann, is coming for breakfast and then her brother in law Ken and wife Janet are going to take us to Omaha for visits.....a full day ahead.

We want to take a moment and say thank you so much for these Relations meeting with Linda in this way....they/you are all special people and this means so much to Linda and her "Journey"....THANK YOU.

Nice 'Stang! That's one of the few that I'll admit is better than mine! ;-)

Sounds like you guys are having an absolutely terrific time visiting with family. Plus, a great fireworks show for the 4th. What more could you ever want from a summer vacation?

Keep having fun! Love to you both, as always.
