Proud of Gma

Don't faint because of 2 posts in as many days. I just want you to see the quilt that Gma just finished. This started as a kit with just the "leaf shaped pieces and the round yellow centers" She has been persistent in putting many many hours in completing
this. She had not done such a thing before so it did entail a lot of frustrations, etc. But she did it and I'm proud. (besides, it's warm on our bed)

Journey to Iowa

We've just returned from an excellent trip to Iowa. We are so pleased with our grandchildren and their families. (this applies to ALL of you). We were a little concerned to see snow in Wyoming on the way. Fortunately it didn't come down while we were driving -just light rain.
We drove 10-12 hours on our first days out and back. Not bad for old folks. Our visits to both families were just really neat. We pretty much got to be integrated with the daily activities. Both visits included trips to excellent museums We have been really impressed with Iowa's family
friendly atmosphere. It was great to have a little time to see Paul and Nancy and to have us all
there for Jacob's blessing.
Though I don't always have good luck posting pictures, I'll give it a try.....I don't know why but it seems it will only let me post four or five pictures....oh well.
