6/4-7/8 Walnut Grove RV Park, Merriam, KS

Into our "home" park again.  Steve is going on a canoe trip to the Boundary Waters in MN with his friends Steve and Gerard, so Cathy also gets a vacation!

Their trip started out on Saturday morning at 7:30 am when they left the campground for MN.  It ended the next day, when they arrived back in the campground at 11 pm and dropped off Steve and his stuff.  His friend had word that his mother was very ill, so they all just turned around and came back.  Maybe next year  they can go again.

While in town, both of us got our eyes checked and got new glasses.  We met with our financial planner, who says Steve can still be retired!  That is always Steve's first question.  We went to the dentist, and Steve got to see his ear Dr., who was not pleased that Steve was swimming in the Corporate Challenge, since his isn't supposed to get his ears wet!

We were back up in Nebraska for Steve's cousin's wedding, and got caught up with that side of the family.

Good friends that had moved away, were all back in town, and there was so much card playing going on, most everyone was sick of it!  But we had a blast eating, drinking, and talking to each other, we decided to plan on doing that somewhere else at another time.

What a view of the river valley!

tiny bungalow, big on features!

Now we leave for Chanute, KS to get our tire damaged rig fixed!

While in KC, we toured the Community Church and two homes designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.  The view from one of the homes was spectacular!
