I remember donating $ to them for awhile. It's been years since I've been to Nebraska. I visited a friend who lived there 2005. I hope your mom in law is feeling better. We had some rain 🌧 then hail for 20 minutes. Megan decided not to go to bible study as there was hail on her car, sidewalk and road. Very slippery. Phil and I went on a walk after dinner since the roads in our area were thawed. He usually walks before dinner. Colder half way on our walk. Your shawl looks very pretty. I still have the shawls that Lorraine made me. Cozy for sure. ❤️ hugs and blessings, my friend. 🌷 Becky Grandmabeckyl.blogspothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04362600588981799211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-53877838821691481662023-04-04T13:24:37.272-05:002023-04-04T13:24:37.272-05:00Many years ago we were traveling to Wisconsin and ...Many years ago we were traveling to Wisconsin and pulled over on the roadside and had lunch, across the highway from Boys Town. I was just a little girl but remember it well. When my parents talked about Boys Town it really touched my heart and I've carried that memory with me all these years. I remember it being a beautiful place. We didn't take a tour but kept on our journey. I really enjoyed all the pictures you shared.Visits With Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606696720339004295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-64879956379241266962023-04-04T06:13:05.189-05:002023-04-04T06:13:05.189-05:00Echoing Nancy, your MIL is so fortunate that you a...Echoing Nancy, your MIL is so fortunate that you and Dennis are close by, but I'm sorry you have so much to deal with - it's not easy!

Will send up prayers for her and for all of you. and if you would be so kind as to say a prayer for our son-in-law, Armando, who was just diagnosed with leukemia a day ago. We are so worried.

I am praying for her, and also for your hubby as he cares for her...but also for you because you were with her as she was getting sick. May God take care of all of you and give you strength. I enjoyed reading about the "Boys' Town". I do remember the movie, but I am not sure if I ever watched it all the way through. Now I want to go back and watch it again. Love the shawl you made. That is so beautiful! What a blessing it will be for someone. Have a wonderful week, but please take care of yourselves.Pamela M.

She has to be so scared and confused. A double whammy with the drug effects and then covid. More Prayers. What a wonderful place to visit. I have strong feelings about how we treat children in this country and I think it would be wonderful if every town could have facilities like this to provide REAL families - not people who resent children and don't put them first. I think that children deserve - AT THE VERY LEAST - a clean, warm, welcoming home and enough food to eat. And just one person who cares what happens to them. Sadly, that is not a priority in many families.

The Mister has his surgery in three weeks and we're staying isolated until then. They told us even a cold would move him to the back of the surgery center line which has a 6 month wait. <br />I love the Boys Town movie. It makes me think of my dad. He was raised in a boy's home like that in Indiana after being deemed incorrigible by the local authorities here in DC. I wish I could say it turned him around. He was a good dad but a life long petty criminal. My earliest memories were visiting him in prison. There was nothing out there he wouldn't try to figure out how to steal even when I was hauling him around in a wheelchair. It was a matter of pride for him....lol. Growing up dirt poor in a family with 9 kids who all had to fend for themselves pretty much from day one left him a 1930's version of the Artful Dodger.
