Saturday - October 12

The sun was shining, the winds died down (for a while) and the temp was only 31 when we got up but warmed up to 58.    It was a great celebration for the Jubilarians (Servants of Mary) celebrating 50 years (3); 60 years (2); 70 years (1); 75 years (1).    We all attended the 11:00 Mass which was beautiful with a packed chapel on the campus of Marian High School and then enjoyed a wonderful brunch and more visiting.

The various siblings trickled away heading home or wherever their travels may take them (Tom and Beth are off to Iceland).     Mark, Theresa, Doris and I stopped at Starbucks for a quick fix and braved the strong winds!   

Spent the afternoon playing cards (Shanghai and Sliva Poker) in the hotel dining room.   Lots of fun with some of the cousins, sisters, and Karen's friends, Pete and Brenda who stopped by - they live in Omaha.    Late evening we walked across the street for sandwiches at Culver's and said our good byes to all....

Lots of family celebrating with Sister Mary

Exciting morning for Liam and Connor - their hockey team won 4-3 with Liam scoring all 4 goals!

Michael, Davis, Brady, Philip and Ryan are in Iowa City with Drew for their annual guy football weekend - Iowa is playing Penn State tonight, but not the outcome we wanted.
