Thanks Mom and Dad for all you did for us kids....

Pictures of the "party"

The whole group of us that was there.. Janna, Kerry, Laura, Evan, Issac and me and the "groom and his bride"!!!

The activity director of the home set it up so we could have a table in a room by ourselves..they put out coffee, tea, and water for us.. Janna and I cut out snowflakes on the cricut to use as place mats. Blue and winter was the theme.

The cake for their anniversary.

59 years!!

Today is Mom and Dad's 59th anniversary...Janna and family and I plan to go and have a small party with cake and gifts for them this afternoon.

Since I am not home I don't have the pictures I wanted to put on here..so will do that when I get home..

They were not too happy when we got there yesterday...they thought their girls forgot about them..not so we just had to get a few things before we went there..we did have tea with them and met their tablemates...we hope they will adjust and like it there.

Party pictures later...

Willow Creek Place

It's been a week since I came to Iowa.
We moved Mom and Dad on Friday...it went pretty smoothly.. Dad's comment was when we told him we were moving him was " to the nursing home?" Glad we don't have to do that. I have taken them out to the farm twice,,,we went Sunday afternoon and Dad just took a walk around the place...he said we left " too hasty" which I guess we did on Friday. Yesterday -Monday- we went out in the afternoon and got the mail and a few other things.
Mom keeps busy making it a home..and then takes a rest and starts all over. Dad eats good but other than that he rests..
Peter and his girls, Syd and his family, Janna and family and later Brant and Joyce were all here to help with the move,... THANKS EVERYONE!!!
I'm gradually getting the phone and other paper work in order..need to go to the bank yet.
Sorry I can't send pictures.
I had the ladies at the library help me and they didn't know how to fix the problem...

Kara's house





Veteran's Day Programs

Shawn's program and the Color Guard.




Trevor's program and the veterans that were there.




Yesterday was the programs for Veteran's Day at the schools...I was able to get Trevor's and Shawn's...Emily and Erin's was the same time as Trevor's but in different schools...so Kara went to theirs.
I spent Tuesday night at Kara's and watched the kids while she went to a school meeting.
I want to put a few pictures of their "new" living room..
The plans are made to move Mom and Dad the 27th..day after Thanksgiving..hope they will accept the move as there is no other way.. Dad seems restless or whatever you call it.. I will stay with them til they seem to be comfortable...
