With the temperatures getting colder and colder, we wrapped up
our Nebraska trip rather quickly.
We spent a day with our good friends, the Jamesons. Joe and Dan were in
engineering college together, and we all ended up at the same church while we were
having babies and raising them!
It was great to catch up on everyone and enjoy Runzas!
I have made a recipe similar to these, but there's nothing like the real thing.
It's so hard to believe that we have all the big kids who are living adult lives!
Time has certainly gone by quickly.
Christopher, Evan, and Thomas.
Michaela is a nurse in London, and Andrea got married this past summer.

On our way SOUTH, thank goodness, we stopped in the small town of Wymore, Nebraska,
where Joe's mom grew up.
Joe and I, and our young children spent many a weekend at the farm of his grandparents.
And yes, we went to the local cemetery, which is just about a mile up the road.
There was many a Thanksgiving where a number of family members would all walk up the road
to the cemetery to settle their stomachs after a big meal.
We certainly did visit quite a few cemeteries on this trip!
Joe's Grandma and Grandpa Boettcher.

So we high-tailed it home and were so glad to see the blue skies of Arizona once again!
Thank you, Lord, for such a great trip!
