My father-in-law died several months ago. So we left Nebraska for the great state of Wisconsin. Since my camera is also a piece of jewelry, I'll share a couple of highlights from our 4 day Funeral Trip. Below is a picture of a Jaguar Limo we saw south of Des Moines, Iowa.
My husband Jim is a saint, seriously. He deserves to have the two most adorable grand daughters. The little one below is Dorothy and Della is in a later picture. My father in law (August Kasten) was a wonderful man. A great husband, father and friend. He was a farmer in his younger years, then a Postmaster. They are Wisconsin Synod Lutheran so, the funeral was really meaningful to me as it had all kinds of theological stuff in it.
Dorothy was fighting sleep so, I used my Trick and she was out in a minute. (NO, I didn't rock her to sleep with a rock). Then my 17 yr. old son asked, "Can I hold her"? Here is a precious picture of that.
We took pictures galore as everyone was there. My mother in law Shirley is in the center. The back row is John, Cindy, St. Jim. Front row is Myra, Shirley and Judy. These people are hilarious! Look at John's face! We're going on a cruise together w/ these jokers and some spouses next fall. I can not wait. My Jim has the kindest face, doesn't he?
We stayed at Cindy's house (yes, my husband has a sister also named Cindy. What's stranger is that I have a brother named Jim). Since we were there over the weekend too, we hit the local GoodWill. Does anyone else do this? I take pictures of really interesting strangers. Jim saw me zooming in on this guy...I looked up and winked at him. He turned on his heels and walked away fast! Hahahaha!
My Mother In Law was opening a gift, the little great grandchildren gathered around. Can you see Della's hair? I had made a big deal about fixing her hair real "beautiful". She let me do that and grinned and wore that all night! I love messin' w/little kids.
Well, that's all I have for now. I just had to put something out there as I miss you guys! Hugs!
