Visit with Harold & LaRhoda Neher in Kansas and Band Day in Clarinda

75 degrees at 8:15 pm Saturday.  To be a bit cooler.  This 95 degrees was earlier this afternoon



 -- and this is October!

We went to the Clarinda Band Day parade this morning, after eating breakfast at the American Legion Club here in Clarinda at their Biscuits & Gravy fund raiser.

This afternoon we watched Iowa get beat, but Nebraska won their fifth football game of the season!.

Yesterday we drove to Hiawatha, KS and spent lunch and afternoon with Harold & LaRhoda Neher.  It was LaRhoda's 88th birthday.  Harold will be 98 next March.  They are getting along, but Harold is now on oxygen 24 hours a day and feeling his age


I drove their van which has a wheel-chair ramp for Harold to wheel into. He was able to wheel into the cafe where we had some delicious fish and tenderloin.




After I dropped the ladies off at home, Harold had me drive him several miles to where his son Tim was combining beans.  Harold was able to see the progress Tim was making in the 300 acre field near his house.   And we split 4 games of Pegs & Jokers before having a piece of pumpkin pie!





On the way to Hiawatha, we had stopped in St. Joe, MO to drop off the wire I cleaned out of our storage shed this last week.  Was able to strip some, but much was with insulation.  Also had some scrap iron.


At right is the yard where I unloaded the scrap iron.






Have you ever wondered what the population would be if copulation was painful?


Later, LC
