05/12/2017 - On 5/4, we had breakfast with first cousin Neal and his family.  Uncle Lewis was to tired to attend.  We then went to a country store that is managed by Ella.  She is usually closed on Thursdays but did open the store for us.  We returned to Uncle Lewis's house and finished our visit and said our "goodbyes".  During that time, Ruby went back to Neal's house to watch Ella and Ruby make laundry soap to sell at the store.  We left before noon to head for Auburn, Nebraska where we had dinner plans with our niece, Katie (Ruthie's daughter).  It was about a 3 hour drive.  The GPS mislead us and so we made a call, got some general directions and then great nephew Seth met us at a gravel intersection and we followed him to the house.  We had a very nice dinner, cleaned up, did some visiting and some played games.  The two older boys went to a friend's house for the night and the three younger ones decided to sleep in a tent since their great aunts and uncles took all the bedrooms!! It was a good day and evening.

5/5, We had a great breakfast, cleaned up the kitchen, packed up the car, said our goodbyes and headed for Kansas City for the motel for the night.  It was about a two hour trip.  We checked into the motel, and later decided to have dinner at the Golden Coral.  Off to dinner and we took our time.  It was nice to just visit and wrap up the week.  We then went back to the motel and Daniel and I took the van back to the rental car. The shuttle from the motel came and picked us up and back to the motel.  We then got together in Daniel and Mary Ann's room to settle up the expenses for the week.  Off to our own rooms since some had a very early shuttle reservation to the airport.
