(End of) October Road

October 26 - 31, 2011

The NPPD Beatrice Gas Turbine Plant.

After returning from the Iowa trip it was back to the grind stone at work. Got my new iPhone 4 on Wednesday and Johnny helped me set it up - I have now officially entered the smart phone world. Thursday I took a tour of the NPPD Beatrice power station and the Cooper Nuclear Power plant near Brownville. It was very fascinating. The evening was uneventful and we enjoyed a nice evening by the fire visiting with Johnny outside. Friday Sharon worked so I cooked for Johnny and then strolled out to the club and met Judge Jerry for a glass of wine. Another nice peaceful evening.

Saturday we were up early and off to Memorial Stadium to watch Annie practice for their performance at the Michigan State game. It was a chilly morning but a beautiful fall day. We stayed to watch Annie and the band march in and made it home just as the 1st quarter was ending. The Huskers played an awesome game and beat Michigan State 24 - 3.  Sharon was tired and
 spent alot of time on the couch while I made pizza crusts and a roast in the crock pot.

Sunday was a fun day starting with church, then lunch in the car, then Ideal grocery. We went to the Sunken Gardens to change clothes and begin our bike ride but the bathrooms were closed for the season. Sharon called our friend Ellie and she let us change there. Bless her. After changing we went on a 2-1/2 hour bike ride on the trails in Lincoln, stopping at Starbucks for a break.  After our ride we went to Earl May to get some fall pansies, then stopped at Fireworks for a quick glass of wine and sermon note study then off to the Faller's for life group.
