Went to visit our daughter, Kelly, and two of our grandchildren, Jamie and Kelsey, in Kansas this weekend. We took 1/2 day off on Friday and a full day off on Monday so that we could spend two full days with them. Friday was Jamie’s birthday and next Friday will be Kelly’s birthday so this was a good time to visit even though we didn’t really celebrate either birthday.
On Saturday we went to the Apple Festival on base (Ft. Riley). Had a very good time.
On Sunday we did a little shopping and then just visited.
When we got home on Monday we went to square dance lessons but didn’t stay very long since they had more than enough angels and we were very tired.

Saturday, September 15th, 2007I went to the Meremec Valley Board meeting this morning. It was a good meeting with a lot of useful input from the members that attended. Came home to work on the web site and found that FrontPage Extensions on the server was corrupted. Had to call support and they will reinstall.
Beth went to choir practice this morning.
Visit to Indiana 9/7 – 9/10/2007
Monday, September 10th, 2007September 7, 2007 – Beth and I both got off work at noon. We took the dog to the kennel and packed up and drove to Indianapolis for a wedding on Saturday. The drive was uneventful. We spent the night at a Super 8 in Brownsburg. Driving through Brownsburg gave us a bit of a feeling of deja-vu since we lived there for 7 years.
September 8, 2007 – Went to the wedding of a friend of both Kelly and April’s from quite a few years ago. Her mother was also a close friend of Beth’s. The wedding was beautiful and Sarah made a lovely bride. The reception was a bufet dinner that was delicious. After the reception we drove over to see some friends of ours, Dick and Ellen. Unfortunately, the time spent was too short.
September 9, 2007 - Drove to Fort Wayne in the morning. We got there about noon and went downtown and ate at Coney Island. Kelly ate with us – as did Jamie and Kelsey. Jamie had a hotdog there and became the fourth generation to eat there since Beth’s mother ate there when she was in high school. After eating we drove out to see my mother. We had a good visit with her and then ate at Fish of Stroh. We always try to eat at Coney Island and Fish of Stroh when we go to Fort Wayne. Sometimes we only get to one but this time we were lucky. After dinner we went out to visit with Dan and Jolene and the kids. Their kids are growing so fast.
September 10, 2007 – Got up Monday morning and went out to see Beth’s mother. Played some solitaire with her and then took her down to the lunch room where there was some entertainment. The man (I don’t know his name) was playing an electronic organ and singing some old time songs. Mom A. sang along with a lot of them. We really had a good visit. After we left there we drove home. Made good time. Back to work tomorrow.
