October Visit

After Fred and Beth drove between a couple of the homes, they HIGHLY ADVISED that we re- think our October visit. New PLAN: Friday night Mike is bringing Mom's sauce for a spaghetti evening with lots of RED WINE: Sat night: Pre dinner drinks at Mary Jo and Pat's and off to our fav Italian (wonderful ) restaurant half way between and then dessert and coffee at Kathe's Rumor has it she is making Mom's homemade Iowa Chocolate Cake...and plus maybe another option...we will see.
Called Kathe tonight and she sounds good. She is trusting in the good Lord. Fred and Beth, it was so nice for both of us to receive your wonderful, loving appreciative notes! Thanks. Kathe just talked to Brett tonight and he is days from returning to his OUTPOST in Afghanistan.

He sounded happy she said and loving his new read Mere Christianity by CS Lewis on recommendation of Fred.
