Wilbur Czech Festival

Steve met Joyce from KC, and Dwayne and Ruth from Syracuse, and had a blast. Turns out that Joyce and Ruth were classmates in Wilbur for a year in high school. It is really a very small world. Steve brought back kolaches for Cathy, who stayed behind and did laundry!

Loess Hills, Iowa




Loess Hills must be Indian for weird dirt! Tour was not as interesting as we thought it would be, but was very scenic. Steve has to touch!

40th Class Reunion

In the big city of Tecumseh, home town of Steve Colton, we met our good friend Bob, you remember his look alike from Joliet! Bob drove us around town in his 500 HP Mustang! That was fun.
Also got to see the other musketeer, Leonard.

Closed the bar down, and a good time was had by all!


Pawnee City Tourists



We toured the big city, home of Dan Whitney (Larry the Cable Guy). Had a great time at the PEDAL CLINIC, which is a museum, exibit of all kinds of pedal cars, trucks, trains and other toys. It was worth the time.

Also toured Schilling Ridge Winery and Microbrewery, home of Git-R-Done beer! We had to buy some beer, as well as Hot Flash Red and Women Gone Wine!

Back to Nebraska City!

Here we are again in NE City. Took some time and traveled to KC for some appointments and to visit with friends.

The found hearing aid was finally sent to us, and taken to KC for testing. All was well, and they took the new one back and gave us a refund!!!!! Yeah.
Had a great time with friends at our favorite Friday place, Fuel Bar and Grill ($1.00 burgers on Fridays).

Babies!!!!



On July 29th, the Colton family added two new members: Fayth Ryan, and Gracie Leigh!!! Yeah, the first girls in this generation! Proud parents are Clint and Melanie.

St. Paul, MN



Today (july 26th) we toured the MN capital building in St. Paul. We were able to see the Supreme Court room as well as the House and Senate rooms. This capital is our second, and we are on our way to tour all 50 of them.

We did not tour St. Paul Cathedral, but we will have to do that at another time. We were told that all of the different cultures that settled here were able to decorate a nave with their traditional religious items.

We did eat at Mickey's Dining Car, a local dive.

We also did tour Grand Street, and had an ice cream at the Grand Creamery (highly recommended).
