On the Road to Des Moines

We went back to Des Moines to finish visiting with my sister n law, before returning home to Troy.

Visiting with Cousins

I haven't been able to spend much time with my cousins, when we were grewing up we were like brothers and sisters. Now that we have families and we moved around with my husband being in the Air Force it has seen each other here and there mostly at funerals. So we meet in Omaha and spent the weekend together and we had a great time reminencing and visiting our hometown and places we remember. I also got to visit my mother and fathers gravesite.

On the road to Omaha

On the interstate to Omaha we came upon fields of these windmills, huge windmills, this was really something to see.

Visiting with Great Nieces

My sister n laws grandchildren only live around the block, it is so much fun seeing the great nieces, they sure enjoyed the little gifts we brought along with us.

On the Road to Des Moines

After spending the night in Hanibal Mo, we are on the road to Des Moines to visit with my sister n law. I love to take pictures of old Barns.

I was so happy to find, the graves of my grandmother and grandfather, with the help of information at the library.

On the Road

My husband and I on the road, to Barry IL, to do some tombstone hunting, were my Father grew up. What fun to go and visit. I haven't been back in over 20 years. My grandma's house is gone, just about didn't recognize the place, a new winery off the interstate and now they have a direct road into Barry from the interstate, and business' starting up at the exit.
