We are in David City, way back in the Eastern part of Nebraska. Not much time for a Blog this morning as we about to hit the road headed back home to Custer.
Shortly after I published last Wednesday’s Blog, we received a call from Ann, our daughter-in-law in Lincoln, informing us that her Mother had passed away during the night. We immediately began preparations to leave. I knew Scott would want us to be here and help support Ann in his absence. Shortly after lunch Wednesday, we were on the road. We went part way, stopped for the night and then drove on in to David City on Thursday.
We made it to David City around 4 pm and parked in the little City Park. Ann came over to visit with us that afternoon. Friday afternoon, we met Ann and some of her Mom's family at the Funeral Home for the viewing. The Wake and Rosary were held at St. Mary's Catholic Church Friday night. Yesterday morning (Sat) was the Funeral and this morning we are ready to head back towards home.
Although Ann’s Mom was 86 years old and had been under the weather for a while, it is never easy. Ann is an only child and was very close to her Mother. I am so glad that we came. We sure miss Scott though and I know Ann misses him terribly. Ann came over yesterday afternoon after the funeral and we said our goodbyes. We'll come back through here to see her on our way south in a month or so.
The weather has been beautiful and the City Park is a nice little RV park for short time visitors. It has 50amp service and water hookups. So we have been quite comfortable.
It will take us until sometime tomorrow to get home. Then we will regroup and decide if we have enough time (and energy) to make it on over to Gillette, WY to the Escapade for a couple of days. We could still get in on half of it but we will see how we feel and make a decision when we get home.
Thanks for stopping by and come on back Wednesday.
It was a GREAT WEEK!!!!

It is so very hard to lose your parents, even though it is a blessing for them. It's wonderful that you were able to be there with Ann and give her your love and support. But I do hope you feel up to Escapade. We would love to meet you and Jim was hoping to have somebody to talk fishing with.
I know your DIL & son appreciated your support! You are wonderful parents! Have a safe trip!

So sad about your daughter-in-law's mom..take care and drive safely.
Good of you to go and support your daughter-in-law. You two are so wonderfully committed to family, and that is a blessing for your family, and an example to the rest of us. How wonderful it is that we RVers are so mobile and so free to make last minute changes and choices.
One of the "benefits" of motor homing is that you can pull up anchor and get to where you have to relatively quickly. Sorry for your DIL's loss. Hopefully she can focus on the good memories, and not suffer the pain of the loss. Safe trip home, and hope you can make it back to Gillette. We were just in Yutan last month, right up the road on Neb 92, about 45 miles or so!

Take care and drive safely. We selfishly hope you can make it to Escapade as we want to see you. HUGS!!
It is so hard to loose your mom (or any loved one). Ann is blessed to have you and Pat in her life. You are wonderful parents and a great Christian influence.
We will be thinking of her during this time and keeping her in our prayers.
Glad you were able to make it there. You are correct Scott would have wanted it that way. We wish you safe travels and you are in our prayers.
