Nathan, Beth and the kids had broken camp and left by the time we returned to Cutty’s Des Moines Camping Resort. We spent the afternoon with John and Dawn. It was a very laid backContinue reading “2017 October 1st – 9th”

The sun was just coming up when we stopped in Nebraska for breakfast. Mrs. Claus and I left around 4 a.m. on Thursday September 14th and spent about 14 hours driving to Santa University in Westminster Colorado. Western Nebraska had a lot of sky to look at … and nothing else.   Colorado wasn’t muchContinue reading “2017 September Santa University recap”

Friday 1st Tom worked 8 to 2:30 while Ella did her normal routine of coffee with friends and then to the senior center for games and lunch.

Saturday 26th 62º at 7 a.m. and overcast. The sun tried very hard to shine through. Tom did not work at the fee booth today. Ella went to the great niece’s baby shower.
