Aug 29-Sept2
I flew to Sioux Falls, SD on Monday to stay with my girlfriend, Sheryl Gerdes Bedard for a few days. We had dinner with Chelle and Steve Hart. Chelle and I have been friends for a bout 25 years and met through Ski for Light. She is visually impaired and I used to guide her cross country skiing. Gail Weiland Zeller joined us on Wednesday night.
On Thursday, Lori Landgrebe Schneller joined us, and the 4 of us drove to Omaha, NE to celebrate our 60th birthdays together. We toured the Old Market area of Omaha and were joined by another friend, Nancy Augspurger Carlson for the day. The 5 of us have been friends since grade school.
We had an awesome time at the tailgate party and Jimmy Buffett concert. This was my 5th concert, Lori’s second, and first time for Sheryl, Gail and Nancy.
On Friday, the remaining 4 of us visited the Omaha's wonderful Zoo.
Sheryl found us a really nice VRBO to rent near everything we wanted. It was so nice to have a home/condo to stay in instead of a hotel room. We had such a great time together. We have been friends for over 50 years. So grateful to have these friends in my life.
