Much Going on In Meema and Oompa's Lives

All a part of life.  When Burnells and NIcholsons came out to visit in mid September in John and Vicki's state of the art Odyssey van with all the bells an whistles, Bill helped with the driving.  The plan for their return:    Bill and Kate had to leave a tad early so took the Prairieland Shuttle up to O'Hare to fly back to Clark's Summit.  John and Vicki wanted to drive up to Michigan to visit Nicholson relatives and do some stomping around at cemeteries, and then John and Vicki would drive back to Rochester alone.

Kate said -- "They can't do the trip home alone."  We agreed whole heartedly.    So Daad and I went with them and had a BLAST! 

In Springfield at the world-famous Lincoln Museum. 

At a Subway for lunch.  

Vicki had made a reservation at a B and B in South Haven where we stayed for one night.  Vicki and John like B and B's but because Meema has trouble falling to sleep, we opt to stay at  Marriott's.  But we slept great at this B and B called the Sand Castle in South Haven Michigan.  And the breakfast was wonderful.  I emailed them for an apple noodle casserole recipe but they never replied.
