We finally went to visit Danen and Michele! We never made it to Illinois where they lived the first year of their marriage, they kept coming here instead! In June they moved to Omaha so we headed back to Nebraska to hang out and see their brand spankin' new house! It was so much fun!! They are happy as two bugs in a rug ( where DID that saying come from?) and their house is just wonderful! We helped them do some things around the house--a little decorating for me---a little ceiling fan, towel bar hanging for Dave, and then treated ourselves to the Henry Doorly Zoo which is the best zoo I have ever been too! We went to Lincoln one day to eat at a favorite OLD restaurant called Lee's Chicken( I swear it has not changed AT ALL in 40 years--) and have ice cream at our favorite ice cream parlor in the world---Ivana Cone! We hauled 4--hard frozen quarts of cinnamon ice cream back to Omaha and ate it til we thought we'd explode! It was great! ha! We headed home on Sunday but not before we loaded up some fresh picked corn, tomatoes, cherries,and homemade fruit pies made at the orchard the fruit was picked in! Yummo! I love Nebraska. I don't want to live there again------but I do love hangin' out there once in awhile!
