The hotel was built in 1917 in Ottumwa, Iowa. It’s called the Hotel Ottumwa. It was a beautiful place and I can imagine it in its heyday! My niece Chaela and her husband Tim, were with us. Tim won the tickets on a Veteran’s site. The concert was “Home Free” which, as you know, we’ve been to several of their concerts in the past few years. It is the first and only acappella country band. They also sing a lot of gospel songs. It’s funny because there are five youngish guys, probably 40 and younger, and the audience is mainly old people like me! 😂🤣😂🤣😂
I plan to take my laptop along camping and hopefully I will have Internet at the campground and can catch back up with all of you. Meanwhile, I’ve mostly just been stitching away on Christmas ornaments and I also started a baby blanket in the car on the way to the concert and back. Hopefully I’ll have some things to show you when we get home.
Please continue to keep Israel in your prayers. Also, for cool heads to prevail here in the United States during the next few months of election time.
I will end with a photo of my girls! I think this is the cutest picture! Piper and Lizzie. And of course, Lizzie has her Lamby too.
Much love and many blessings to you all,
Betsy.
Good to hear from you Betsy! Have a safe trip and that photo of Piper and Lizzie is really cute!
ReplyDeleteLove the picture of Piper and Lizzie and Lambie! So cute. Sounds like you've been having a lot of fun and getting ready to have some more! Enjoy yourselves and just relax. Send us pictures when you can! So happy for you to have these opportunities!
ReplyDeleteAdorable Piper with Lizzie and Lambie. Enjoy your trip that will go safely in more way than one. We look forward to go to Hood River early October. It is getting cooler this week. Phil and I were out walking and it was chilly out there. We both wore sweatshirts. Good to see neighbors pulling out a tree that's not too far from us but we don't need it anyway even though it looks good!! I look forward to the photos you take wherever you go. You're in my thoughts and prayers, Becky
