Iowa


Uncle Stan and Aunt Jan's church in Milo, Iowa


We have a convenient place to park and the price is right, too!


Church windows


Miss Kate keeps us on our toes!


We spent a week visiting Glen's sister, Betty, and her family in New Hampton and enjoyed playing many games of Mexican Train dominoes and playing golf.
The weather was beautiful and Glen and Jack relaxed in the Gorman's backyard.


And we ladies enjoyed the relaxation, too.

Illinois


Here are the youngsters in Illinois, Judy's father and stepmother, 93 and 90 years old.

We had a wonderful afternoon visiting with Judy's Aunt Ethel, who is 104 years old. Also pictured are Judy's sister, Jan, (Ethel) Myrtle, Stewart, Linda, Lois, Kathy, brother Owen, and Orven. We had a good time catching up on one another's lives.

We have a new camera!


Even if you're not a quilter, the Quilt Museum at Paducah, Kentucky provides an interesting look at the work of the world's greatest quilters.

Our Corp of Engineer Campground in the Land Between the Lakes provided us with a beautiful place to spend our first weekend on the road.


Let's see how this new camera works....


We have some willing subjects here.

The girls loved to climb on the vine as you can see in this picture of Grace.


Brett is giving us a concert on Mom's dulcimer.


The audience (Maureen) definitely appreciated his efforts.....I think.


Maureen's not too sure about his serenade!
