Supper guests of Frank & Joyce Schulze on October 15 were:

Emma Porter, Riley Porter, Chuck & Susanna Porter, and

Corey Schulze and Sharon Demaree. Also attending were

3 friends of Emma's, who are exchange students at UNK, where

Emma is also a student. They were: Nanami Fujita from Osaka,

Japan, Yunjin Kwon from Goyang-Si, South Korea, and Benedikt

Kramer from Augsburg, Germany. It was a most enjoyable

evening, learning their impressions (they love Nebraska!) and

discussing the customs of each country.

Continued get well wishes to Gerry Davis and

Sandy Denton.

 

Is it because of all the rain we've had lately that the fall

foliage is so beautiful? Bob and I visited one of our favorite

places this weekend, Waubansie State Park, near Hamburg,

Iowa. The view from the overlook is breathtaking. It was a 

busy place too. Apparently we weren't the only ones with the

idea!

We stopped at Mincer Orchard for a caramel apple and some

cider and the antique store in Hamburg for some enamelware.

Then we followed #275 down to Missouri and crossed the 

river at Brownville, which also had a lot going on.

The only mushroom we've ever found!

To finish the day we shared an Oreo stuffed chocolate

waffle cone at Sonic's. Great photos and memories -

doesn't get much better than that!

 

The book “Killers of the Flower Moon:  The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI” has been chosen for the 2018 One Book—One Lincoln Community reading program.  The book revisits a shocking series of crimes in which dozens of people were murdered in cold blood. Based on years of research and startling new evidence, the book is a masterpiece of narrative nonfiction, as each step in the investigation reveals a series of sinister secrets and reversals. But more than that, it is a searing indictment of the callousness and prejudice toward American Indians that allowed the murderers to operate with impunity for so long. Your Unadilla Library has this fascinating read on its shelves — stop in and check it out.
