A little trip out of town

Fri., September 27, 2002 - Merilyn brought Raymond I. here at noon.  We spent the afternoon playing Kings Wild.  Tom came after work for Raymond.
Sat., September 28, 2002 - This morning Mary, Mitch, Anna, Per (Mar's friend from Denmark), Nancy & I drove out to the Danish Cemetery 7 miles north of Lincoln.  A small but well kept cemetery -- was started in 1890.  I didn't wander around much --- was cold, windy & sprinkled a little.  Nancy & I had dinner (at noon) at Popeye's.  She brought me to the apt. & then went home.  I slept most of the afternoon.
Sun., September 29, 2002 - Nancy came in p.m.  She fixed grilled cheese sandwiches.  I showered & then Nancy went home.

I remember the trip to the Danish Cemetery.  As I recall we really had no reason to go, other than we all had driven by it numerous times whenever we were on Hwy. 77 and were curious.  And I can confirm that it was cloudy and drizzly.

A quick look online shows the cemetery has about 250 burials, the most recent in 2018.  The earliest year of birth I found for someone buried there is 1829.  And as one might guess, there are several people buried there that were born in Denmark.

A bit less hectic

Tues., September 24, 2002 - Played Seven-Up this evening, I won a game.  Delores fed us pie and ice cream.  She came here afterwards -- brought some tomatoes -- we played 2 games of Rummikub.  I forgot to call the "van line" so at last minute Grace took me to the "beauty college" & Mary came after me.
Wed., September 25, 2002 - To Book Club in evening.  Just Bob Johnson, Virginia, Carol Jean & I were there.
Thurs., September 26, 2002 - Myrtle called this morning.  Tom & Raymond Iversen here this evening.  Tom brought food from Applebee's -- really good.  I showered & we played Rummikub.  Since Nancy had attended to the laundry Sunday there wasn't enough for Tom to do.

For no real reason, here's a photo of Grandpa and Uncle Raymond.  I love their bare feet and Uncle Raymond's curled toes -- must have been very good sweet corn.

I'd sleep, too

Sat., September 21, 2002 - Left at 8:00 for Lincoln.  Went to Nancy's first and then they brought me to the apt.  We got Raymond and then we went to Valentino's for dinner.  Too much good food to choose from.  They then took me to my apt. and went their way.  Raymond was going back to Winside with Greta.  Greta did some shopping and saw her "kids".  I slept the rest of the day!
Sun., September 22, 2002 - Jean Hansen called.  Luayne was in Lincoln and she called just to visit.  I called Ray & Aileen -- yesterday was Aileen's birthday and their 55th wedding anniversary.  Nancy came at noon -- had cornbread for dinner.  Usual shower, etc.  She also did the laundry.
Mon., September 23, 2002 - Membership meeting tonight -- so no cards.  Had apple pie a la mode for lunch -- real good.

More being busy for Grandma.  It's a wonder we didn't wear her out completely once she moved down to Lincoln.  I can say with confidence that she didn't mind and told us if she wasn't up to our taking her hither and yon.

Added this photo because of the mention of Uncle Raymond and because I miss all these wonderful people.
