10/31 & 11/1
We stopped in Oklahoma City to visit with Gene’s brother, Bobby and his wife Dorothy. They both have physical issues and are doing as well as can be expected. It was good to see them again. It was a short visit but we were able to share our travels with them and catch up on news about there kids.

10/31/05
We are back on the road again. We were in Manhattan for 7 weeks. As I look back over what we did while there, I see what we did mostly was eat!! We had dinner with several of our friends and our grandson, Jeremiah. Some more than once. It was really good to visit with all of you and made me realize I was somewhat home sick, at least for our friends and family but not the cold/hot weather. Thanks to all of you for your prayers. God is so good. We got our physicals done and both of us are very healthy. We did sell the motorcycle, the little trailer we pulled behind it and our pickup. We are now driving a very nice Honda CR-V. It is in great shape and we now have room for others to ride with us. So, come on, visit us some time. We would love to have you wherever we are. We stayed for a week in Lebo where I, Sue, have a brother. Just 20 miles away in Emporia, I also have a sister. We were able to get together with them as well as my brother John and my brother, Jerry who lives in Wichita. We and our spouses met at Montana Mike’s in Emporia for dinner. It is the first time we have all been together since 2001. Gene has a brother who lives in Jacksonville, Florida who is originally from Melvern, Ks. He and his wife were visiting in Kansas and we were able to meet with them as well as their daughter and grandson at Beto Junction for dinner one evening. Also while here we attended a couple of the Lebo Wolves football games. My brother John and his wife Neva have a son who is a senior playing on the team. He is a starter and quite good. They won both games and are hoping to do well in the playoffs. I believe they have a perfect winning record this year. We are off to Oklahoma City for a couple of days to visit another of Gene’s brothers and family. Looks like we were able to visit most all of our relatives in a very short 10 days. We are excited about getting back “on the road again” and on the way to warmer weather. It is just getting too cold for us.
