Don and Gladys were up to visit and have dinner with us here in Brookdale today. In our continued task of reducing inventory, we had a few things to send home with them. Don is holding the 1969 Seward County Soil Conservation winner which is the Sandusky farm where the folks were the tennets. The folks were always proud of the recognition and of this aerial picture of the farm. We became the custodians of the picture following their deaths and have had it hanging in my office for the past 25 years. It seemed time to share with brother Don and family. Don mentioned that Kathy has been making wall hangings similar to the one in the picture, that is in the Brookdale hallway. They are made from wooden pallets and recycled.
We went down to the house where Carolyn was continuing to work toward getting "things" ready for our Auction. We got the golf balls sacked up that their family bought from my recent Seward Swap note. Don even found a couple items that he was able to utilize. Every day that goes by makes us realize that we don't need (and don't have room for) a lot of stuff we thought we wanted to keep. After looking everything over and pulling out a few old hats, we just sat down and visited. It was almost like the opposite of a "House Warming" with the 5 of us talking about old times, having a good time and looking forward to the future.
