BUSY DAY -- SPECIAL VISITORS


Our cousins, Sharyl and Tom, stopped by to visit us today on their way to Salina to check on some things on their farm. We had a really nice visit with them and had fun reminiscing about our younger days. It was good that Liz dropped by after she got off work because there were a few things in our reminiscing that we could not remember the details and Liz, being the youngest, was able to help jog our memories with some details. We are so glad they stopped and Mom & Dad thoroughly enjoyed the time as well.


On our trip to Salina the sunlight was too bright for Dad so we gave him a pair of sunglasses to wear. Rog said he looked pretty cool and all we needed was a motorcycle. We had a fun day in Salina. We took Dad to a dr.'s appointment first, then took Mom to the man that keeps her hearing aid tuned up, and then stopped by the manor where they used to live and said hello to Uncle H, Olive Peterson, Dorothy Favors, and Bertha Smith(who is in Dad's old room down in healthcare). All the workers were so happy to see the folks and said how good they looked.

Then we left to go have some lunch at our favorite Burger King. We left Burger King and decided to take a drive in the country and see how the wheat looked out where Dad has farmland. It looked much better than they had expected. We even got to visit with the man's son who farms the land for Dad so Dad enjoyed that time. Then we headed back to Hutchinson and were home about an hour before Tom & Sharyl arrived.
