Here we are in beautiful Nebraska! What a great part of the country! Rolling hills, fields and fields of corn . . . more corn . . . wheat . . . . more wheat . . . . I guess this is why this part of the country is known as the Bread Basket!! :-)
The Omel Family
We've been looking forward to this visit since we get to see one of our long time friends, Jim Omel. Jim and Pat Omel and MaryLu Russell and her hubby Bob run the Grand Island Support Group. This group meets the 3rd Wednesday of every month from 10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.
Jim and Pat invited everyone to their home for a picnic and to welcome the Myeloma Mobile into Grand Island. We had the pleasure of meeting 30 members of this active and fun support group! Everyone enjoyed learning about each other; not just about myeloma, but about life and how important it is to LIVE EACH DAY TO THE FULLEST! People came from all over central Nebraska with some traveling over an hour! No one was too eager to go home; and the party did not break up until 10 pm! People signed the RV with their well wishes and gave us lots of hugs and encouragement to keep on "keepin on"!
Thanks to the IMF for enabling this unprecedented journey to happen!
Thanks to Jim and Pat for their hospitality. Mikey especially loved some down time fishing in the lake behind Jim's house; he caught 21 fish (all of which were thrown back in) :-)
Tomorrow we will be driving from Nebraska to Denver, Colorado! Long drive, so I better get some sleep!
Good Night Everyone!
