TIME TO CATCH UP
We ended up stopping in Greenville, IL, on Wednesday night so we could rest up for a bit. Stayed the night in a motel and headed back out early Thursday morning. It rained all the way from Illinois to Michigan. We arrived safely at Tina's (Randy's sister) that afternoon.
The next morning, Friday, the three of us headed from Garden City to Addison to spend time with a cousin and her family. We were blessed to share and witness Mary Lou's profession of faith and baptism.
Later that afternoon we went hunting for morel mushrooms. Found a few and cooked them up for dinner – along with some steak and baked potatoes. Tasty meal.
Saturday we visited with more of Randy's extended family and then headed to the 50th Class Reunion.
There was a table just as you entered the conference room. On it were badges with the names and senior pictures of the class members. It was fun to watch the expressions as they tried to figure out who was who – usually having to look at the picture and the name before you could see their eyes light up with recognition.
Randy opened the night with a short prayer and had an opportunity to share with several of his old classmates.
That night there was an amazing display of the Northern Lights, unfortunately the sky was overcast in our location so we couldn't see them. One of Randy's cousins was able to get some beautiful pictures and forwarded them on to us.
Stayed the night with friends in Addison – Randy's home town.
Now we are back in Garden City at Tina's.
