411 The Walters Bunch

We went to Kearney, NE last week.  Everyone who knows us knows we like to travel and visit lots of distant locales so the top question we answered this time was "why?", the answer is that we have family that lives there now. It really is a cute town. While at 42,000 it is quite small by DFW standards, they seem to think it is a large city so use care when talking to the natives about their "cute little town". My husband's aunt  was still in the hospital when we arrived  and suffering from a serious infection. We helped care for my husband's grandma, who at 88 is unfortunately starting to suffer dementia. This is however no where near the level that his other Grandmother had. She at least remembered who we were and got names right, which is better than me most days. The first day she told us how great it was we came and asked how long the drive took..........about 15 times in the first hour. Other than that and asking how old the kids were multiple times a

I know it is technically NOT summer, but after Memorial Day summer in North Texas unofficially officially starts. This usually is marked by temps in the upper 90's and high humidity, but this year so far is great. We have only had a handful of days in the 90's and most have been in the low 80's. We also have had a lot of rain so things are still green instead of what I refer to as "summer brown", which should not be confused with "winter brown" that is completely dead looking. Beautiful Sunsets! We have had a great summer so far. We went to visit my in-laws for Memorial Day. It was the first visit since the move and we only gained about 10 extra miles. We brought the camper and stayed for a couple of days. They had a big lunch with most of the family and some distant relatives. It was great to visit with everyone. We had an extra guest after lunch. D had to physically take it off. A has started volleyball and has her first game on Satu
