We got home from Gunnison (last blog) on Sunday. Pat repacked her bags and I took her down to the Bergmans. She stayed the night and went to the airport with Damon (he had a 6:00 AM flight and Pat had her flight at 7:00 AM). She flew to Kansas City where she was met by her cousin Jeanne. Together they drove to St. Charles where they are staying with Kay Brown.<\/p>\n
They are attending the National Genealogical Society Conference (link)<\/a>.\u00a0 All three of the ladies are quite involved in researching family genealogy.\u00a0 This is a four day conference that seems to be very intense.\u00a0 That said, I suspect they are finding time to have fun.<\/p>\n Pat and Kay have been friends for over 50 years.\u00a0 It started from a friendship I had with Kay’s deceased husband, Ken.\u00a0 Ken and I knew each other from our high school days.\u00a0 Ken taught me how to paint cars.\u00a0 He used to paint midget racers in the garage behind the duplex that they lived in.\u00a0 While we were in the garage,\u00a0 Kay and Pat would play card\/board games.\u00a0 About the time we were married, Ken and Kay bought a house and we moved into the duplex they had lived in.\u00a0 Ken and I continued to attend car shows around the country right up until he passed.\u00a0 Recently Pat and Kay renewed their friendship.\u00a0 About two years ago we visited her and her boys on the way to a rally.\u00a0 We had a ball!<\/p>\n Kay graciously offered for Pat and Jeanne to stay with her during the conference.\u00a0 On Sunday Pat and Jeanne will drive to Jeanne’s where I will join them for a short stay.<\/p>\n I am driving the bus back to Iowa.\u00a0 I had hoped to leave today, but there have been so many small projects that needed to get done.\u00a0 My plans now call for a Saturday departure.<\/p>\n That is all for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Thursday May 14, 2015.
