After 2600 miles we are home again. It rained most of the return trip, but we figured the farmers needed the rain, although most of the country we went through seemed green even though many rivers were low. Last night we has a tornado alert here in Omaha and though some trees were down in other parts of the city, we seemed to have escaped any serious damage.
We had a wonderful time at both celebrations. Ashley and Tom have returned from their honeymoon-camping trip and shortly will be back in college as both are close to finishing their degree programs. Their goal is to move to the Carolinas after mid year. Then Tom will finish his elementary education certification, do his student teaching, and begin his teaching career. We are not sure what Ashley plans to do.
Maurice and Anne celebrated their 50th anniversary with many life-long friends. Their wedding party only missed one groomsman. We were able to see lots of family and friends, and conversation seemed never to stop. This was the first time in fourteen years that Mom and her four kids were together. A happy moment for all. We left before the end of the party to begin our trek back west stopping for the first night in Olean, NY.
The next night we met Kim and Chuck and boys for dinner which you can read about below. It is good to wander and also good to be home.
