Mom and Dad celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary with a family meal at Lazlos in Lincoln in September. Not everybody was able to come, but those who were there had a great time.
Before we ate, we got to meet Tucker. Dad, mom and Great Grandma are all justifiably proud.
While Ike was pounding the Texas coast, Allison and I headed to Kansas City with my secretary with plans to see Les Miserables at an outdoor theatre. We drove through blinding rain all the way, but arrived safely to the assurance that the play would go on "rain or shine". We ate a great buffet supper and since the rain had stopped by then, we bought our $1 ponchos which were akin to colored Saran Wrap, wiped off our seats and settled in to watch the show. Unfortunately, the downpour had wiped out the sound system, so no play. It's a great place, so I hope Stan and I can go back next summer and try again.
The next day we went to Maryville to see Beth and watch her Bearcats win their football game. The Northwest campus is lovely; this is the walkway lined with flags of the countries where foreign students are from.This is my walking partner, Lisa, who survived breast cancer this year. We were at a wedding in this picture; we certainly don't look like this at 5 in morning! She still has surgery to face in November, but is doing great; we'll make it to our 10 year anniversary in January.
We have a two time All American in our family; Zac is on the wall at the Coliseum for being an intramural sports official. Good for you, Zac!!
Two years ago, Erma gave me a piece of a Boston fern that her landlord had split. I nursed it for a year, then split it again this spring into three parts and was astounded at how they thrive on
our deck. The geraniums seem to like it there, too.
Erma had a bit of a setback recently when she fell and broke her lower arm. She had surgery to put a plate on the bone, spent some time in the nursing home and is now back at her apartment in assisted living. She and Mark can clink arms and see whose plate makes the loudest noise! 
The annual Meyer Ladies Day Out was in Lincoln this year. Debbie joined us for a tour of the International Quilt Study Center where we saw some very intricate quilts from Korea. It was interesting, but I would have preferred seeing those made by pioneer women. Afterwards, we had ice cream at the dairy store on East Campus; it was another lovely outing.
Thanks to Sue for posting family picnic pictures! If I can figure out how to post a link, I'll add mine.
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at the gala event in Lincoln Friday and can't wait to see what a lovely bride Kelly will be! Love, Nancy
