Our New Home, Lincoln and Halloween

While we were parked at the lake in Arcadia, our refrigerator went out.  So, we moved over to Lee's RV City for repairs.  While there Roger wandered around the lot, looking over the newer RV's.  (Pay attention, children, there''s a lesson here!) We fell in love with a 2007 Newmar Mountain Aire motor home, 4 years newer than ours at the time with many perks that we had contemplated upgrading to.  Long story short: our new home!


It has a nicer layout, two more slides, solar panels on top, and other features that really have added to the comfort and enjoyment of our home.
The church in Lincoln which we were instrumental in starting,  Christ's Place, is still going and growing and "God is adding daily." These are some of the artwork. Each Halloween a "Trunk n Treat" event is sponsored for the neighborhood and we had a ball here entertaining and feeding several hundred.  
Janet Smith here was quite entertaining all by herself!  Hope to do it again next year!


We were able to enjoy a reunion lunch at the Wind Chimes restaurant with Roger's original partners and their wives from Lincoln Family Medical Group. Dale is still there, while Frank and Alves have been fulltime missionaries in Bangladesh. Circumstances rarely allow us to all be in the same place. So, we're always grateful for the opportunity.

Linda, another good friend in Lincoln, invited Meg to Ruby and Cordelia's Fine Tea Room for "high tea."  They had a wonderful time there and Roger's already added it to his list for next year. (Hey, guys like tea, too!)
















We spent the rest of our time in Lincoln with friends and family: lunch with Carol, some gourmet meals from our budding chef nephew Brandon, Thanksgiving dinner at Shanna's, and, of course, Husker football with about 85,000 of our closest friends!  The Sea of Red beckons us back every fall.  A Husker game in this stadium should be on your bucket list; there's nothing quite like it!  Next year: the B1G 10!
