This is a picture of our "Veteran", fortunate to be able to visit us and have a really good time with his kids this year on Haloween. He has friends still in harm's way, some at Ft. Hood. Special thoughts and prayers to all at Ft. Hood. It has been a very grey and drizzly day here, and tonight the drizzle has turned into mist. DH getting called out to help his fellow man on a "Unit Call" this evening. He keeps his license up and his membership on our Fire Department. I'm sure he likes the chance to drive the new Ambulance every now and again. His week has been pretty busy so far, on Tuesday, he along with our youngest son, traveled to Grand Island and met up with "The Weatherman" and they got to play host to a retired Major League Baseball Player for a morning hunt by Fullerton NE, halfway across this state!~ That was a long day. We got up at 2:30 a.m. so he could travel. I went back to bed. A person has really got to like to hunt to do that! Yesterday I took this lil' laptop in for a service and got some more memory. It seems a little faster now. Our oldest son is coming through here in the morning and will pick up his dad and they are headed to Wisconsin to pick up a Tractor that he bought and haul it back to Colorado. So it'll be just me and the house frau for the next 3 or 4 days. 
I'm sure he's in for a real treat of a trip. Everything Kyle does is an adventure! A friend of mine that took my position at the plumbing firm has her son in the hospital with the H1N1 Flu. Our thoughts and prayers are with them that he get well really soon. I may get to go back to my old office and help her keep caught up with some bookwork. Hope I remember how! I'm trying to keep a low profile and stay out of contact with anyone that may possibly have the "flu". I got the shot and have a few more days until the immunity is good. We usually attend a church "Thanksgiving" Dinner every year that we can, and it was this evening and we decided because of the rampant flu that we would pass on being at a crowded gathering. I hate it, but the risk isn't worth it. I'm just now feeling normal after a cold for a week! I have enough things to keep busy. Having fun planning and ordering things for our Christmas at the Hotel in Kearney. Another friend called and their 30th anniversary is the weekend after Thanksgiving and since we we in the wedding, we're invited to a dinner in their honor. Things just keep coming up! Not time to be bored. On the sad side this week, a fellow colleague of DH out of his office in Holdrege....his two boys were in a car wreck by Interstate 80, the youngest, 21 years old, was ejected and killed and the other serious and life flighted to Lincoln NE. We are so lucky to have never gotten a call like that. Our boys traveled about and sowed their wild oats. What a horrible thing for any parent to have to go through. Rest in Peace Robby Schumacher. This year is definitely moving on....The more things change, the more they stay the same.
