Headed to Dubuque:
I didn’t sleep well with sleep tester machine last night, oh, well. Denny and I went in for his appointment with Dr. Chobra. He is scheduled to have the spot on his back removed Monday 8 am at the Dunes. After that we drove and met Mandy in Holstein. I started driving highway 20 across Iowa and Denny rode with Mandy and the boys. We met Jason and Cook uncles in Webster City (as they returned from Tax school in Des Moines). From there Jack rode with us and napped while we traveled the rest of the way to Dubuque. Mandy, Jason, and Tyler stopped in Waterloo to shop. We got to Grand Harbor at Dubuque about 3 and checked in. Jessa, Jane and Keith came to our room and the little ones played. Denny took a nap. Mandy and Jason brought sandwiches for us. Luke and Karen came to the motel after they had taken the car that Luke rented at the Minneapolis airport this afternoon (as he arrived back from Salt Lake City where he had been working since Tuesday). Karen +2 came to IG Tuesday night. She has decided that Luke working away from Minneapolis 3-4 nights is a good reason for her+ 2 to visit IG. That sure works out well for us. Then Karen drove across Iowa on 20 instead of going to Minneapolis and picking up Luke and THEN driving to Dubuque. Made sense to me. They met and returned the car, ate supper and came to Grand Harbor. Let's see how many Newhouse descendants are here. Nancy-1, Craig&Marilyn-2, Susan-0, Betsy-5, Ben-5, Julie-4, Barb-0, Gail&Bruce-2, Scott-1, Todd-3. Brad-4, Faith&Denny-2, Matt-0, Missy-0, Luke-4, Mandy-4, Jean&Arlan-2, Katie-2, Christy-0, Beth-4, Keith&Jane-2, Justine-4, Nancy-2, Bruce-1, Maynard-1, = 55 of Maynard&Bernice. Additionally Terry, Dobbin&MyrnaFaye-3, Gerry&Linda-2, = 60. Thank you Jesus!!! Could have been 82. (Plus the 5 cousins)
For the first time the hotel put us all on the same (3rd) floor. It worked great so we could visit in the hallway and not disturb other guests. They also moved the check-in area to ground level and started a continental breakfast. Both are appreciated improvements. Luke reserved an extra room for the 2 year olds to sleep in. Jack was in the bathroom and Rose slept on a mat on the floor. I said I would take them as they woke up, just let me know.
