the remaking of a kitchen

on sunday, john and julie drove to lincoln and we who also drove there to our next motel, met for lunch and then a tour of the new quilt museum on the east campus. we topped that off with ice cream from the dairy store. aaaaaaah. moooo.
they soon had to leave for columbus to pick up dogs and we headed back to the motel to just r-e-l-a-x! the next afternoon i spent a couple of hours with my aunt jackie who is on hospice care at home....the same group who helped auntie lee through her last days. we had a lovely visit.....always lots to discuss. we both worked in silver and really enjoyed it and occasionally ran into each other at art fairs which was pretty cool. i asked if she needed to run any errands or wanted to get a snack and happily she suggested the dairy store, so ice cream 2 days in a row! when i left she gave me a big hug and told me she loved me.....not something said often enough in the family in which i was raised. i love her too and told her. i hope to get to see her again when we drive to lincoln to a football game.
on tuesday we drove to omaha, and while don went to the old market, i had lunch with liz who was celebrating a birthday and kay lynn who's birthday i will surely miss next month. we talked and talked and had a lovely time. i realized it was also the 20th anniversary of our move to minnesota. now that is hard to believe!
