Life in the Empty Nest. Tuesday, May 31, 2011. Well, Lonne finally got his wish! Peter Burt called and invited us to go to Lake Waikeromoana on a fishing trip for the day,. With he, his wife Frances, and Lonnie Lardelli. What are the chances? They guys dropped me and Frances off at the trail,. So we could go hiking while they went fishing. The trail goes all the way around the lake (a three day hike), so we decided to just go around part of it and meet them at the inlet where the river flows into the lake.

Life in the Empty Nest. Friday, September 30, 2011. I Had to go on a Mission to figure out. In no particular order). 1 I definitely don't need a big house to be happy. 2 Even though I don't like wearing a skirt every day.skirts are lots more comfortable than jeans. 3 If you want to be self sufficient, Gisborne, New Zealand is the place to live. ANYTHING grows here, there are all the fish in the sea, hunting anytime and anywhere.it's a no brainer. 5 I like reading the scriptures. 8 I love red mountains.

Life in the Empty Nest. Wednesday, August 22, 2012. A few days after we got home, we took our parents to Iowa with us to see Mitch graduate from Dental School. We were so proud of him and his achievements! It's pretty hard to think of our little boy as a doctor, but he has earned the title! Quite an honor for him. Can you tell that his mom and dad are proud? I won't deny it.we are beyond proud of him! We're so proud of all of our college graduate children since neither one of us has a college degree!
