The John & julie Owens Family

John, Julie, Sadie and Jack were all down to see us this morning. They just came in to tell us Good Bye & otherwise we visited out on the Patio. It was cool enough that I put on my windbreaker. They brought along their Bicycles and when they left here, they were headed up to John's Folks place and to see Carolyn and Ben. We had a god visit talking about school. We talked to Tim today and he told of seeing their School Picture for this fall. Julie is enjoying her one day a week work at the dress shop in Lincoln. John helped me out with a couple things on my computer which I appreciate. I asked him about one of the computer books that "were for Dummies" and John said he didn't think they sold them anymore. They expect us to get instruction on-line. 

                                                                                          

                                             
 

Daily Prayer Book

Carolyn came down this morning and took the picture of me reading our prayer book she gave to us many years ago. Here is copies of the book and the open page which I read this morning. 

 Here is a shot of the Burr Oak planting that we made down in a loop of Plum Creek some 8-10 years ago. It is also just a short distance off the Seward Walker-Biker trail. The City has done a good job of keeping the area mowed and maintained.

Here was a happy family getting their picture taken next to the tripod supporting the old black butchur kettle back in 1957. We moved to Lincoln the next year where I was transferred to work on Watershed Dam construction and could take some night classes at UN-L.

I worked at putting captions on1966 pictures today and came across this of the President Kennedy funeral. We watched  TV and timed when we needed to drive up to catch this view of the Cortage with the flag dropped coffin being pulled into Arlington National Cemetery by 6 white horses.

 I was given this book yesterday and spent time in it's 160 pages today. It is the story of the Cubs and Indians in the 2016 Major League World Series, won by the Cubs in 7 games. 

Here is a 1982 picture of Verlon, Carolyn and me with one of Verlon's birds in his apartment in Richmond,VA. He is back at building some similar even now.
