Fun and "really"?

Lucky!

Because of the Seward Silver Salmon Derby, we stayed at the Marathon Campground (on the bay/ocean)—thanks to Jim and Judy!  A beautiful place, despite the steady rain typical of this time of year; rain gear a MUST!

While walking into town (“spitting” more than “raining”), I overheard an older couple.  I am guessing both were octogenarians.  The man was leaning against a car and his, what I am assuming, wife was close to him steadying herself with a cane.  Both were watching the construction of the new dorms for the culinary school. 

“No, I SEE a man in a yellow shirt.  NO, I see a MAN in a yellow shirt.  THERE!  Yes, a MAN in a YELLOW shirt!”

I couldn’t help myself....as I came up to them, I had to support the man,  “Well, if it helps any, I see ‘im too.”  

We all chuckled!  Ahhhhh, sanity, check; I still have it!  (I am certain the gentleman felt the same!)

Now, another small-world-event—Matt and I moved back to the “resort”  (Seward military campground).  We begged for site #23---more room, a picnic table, and close to the bathrooms.  Later that evening—after our “clean” (van, bodies, and clothes), we meet the neighbors (a campground formality and sometimes joy).   SURPRISE!  Can you believe it?  They were also from Pottawattamie County, IA-- Council Bluffs to be specific!!! One of the guys was a responder to ISD’s first “lock-down-scare"!!!!  He is a friend of the man who dates Cindy Soppe.  (Sorry, we all know now!)  He also went to school with…okay, let us say it in unison—JOHN COOL!!!!  John, you will forever be the “Kevin Bacon” of ISD!!!!  Fun experience, and a reminder that we cannot leave our past!!!—SMILES!  (Happily).

Two-Lakes hike  (some trees and "green" for Jen)

Same lake--how clear!

Walkin' down 4th St. in Seward...yeah, really!
