Wakeeney, KS

After a little over 2 weeks in our hometown of Imperial, NE we are on the road again. As you can see by the title of this Blog we are not exactly going toward Oregon. The beauty of living in a motor home is that we can change our minds when ever the notion strikes. Well the notion struck and we are now on our way to Calico Rock, AR for a few days of trout fishing and visiting with Nancy's relatives. We still plan to be in the San Francisco Area in Nov. We have a couple of other stops planned on the way, but you will just have to keep watching the blog to know when we are at them. We enjoyed visiting with many old friends while in the Imperial area and even made a couple of new friends while there.

Imperial, NE

On Tues. of this week we drove from Omaha to Imperial, NE. We are parked in our son Dan's yard. There is nothing better than having free parking. We have been enjoying our time here seeing old friends, acquaintances and relatives as well as taking care of business in the area. We feel especially fortunate that we were able to spend some time with Uncle Wilfred & Aunt Helen Miller. They are both in thier mid 90's and have just recently moved into the Heights, a wing of the assisted living facility. Also got to spend some time with Uncle Ave Hudnall. He is 90 years young and lives in the same wing.

Omaha, NE

We are at the West Omaha KOA. We arrived here yesterday early evening. We Plan to be here at least through Mon. Our leveling jacks are not working so we are awaiting repairs for them plus we have some other business to take care of here. We took two days coming from Hazen Bay. To our surprise it is just a few miles further to Omaha than it was to Imperial.
Labor Day our last big weekend at Hazen Bay went very smoothly. We had an overflow of campers, but all were very low keyed & orderly for the weekend. A lot of our seasonals and some of the regulars looked us up before they left on Mon. to say their farewells and wish us well for the winter. After two years many of them are just like family. One of the couples that stays in one of the cabins brought Nancy a bouquet of roses when they checked in on Fri. afternoon. Needless to say she got very emotional and teary. Our plans now are to return to Hazen Bay again next summer. We never thought when we first got the call about going to North Dakota that we would be going to a place that we would both fall in love with. In fact when we first arrived there in May of 2006 we nearly told them no thanks and drove on to a job offer we had in Oregon. We are so glad that Ken and Terrie Peterson talked us into staying.
