Stomping Ground.

Oh, what a fun walk down memory lane we had today! We drove up to Horton and Hiawatha, Jami's old stomping ground from her childhood days. We enjoyed catching up with some old friends, touring the countryside, seeing how things had changed, and cleaning out a storage facility with some family heirlooms. One highlight was hitting a park called Hickory Point at the Horton Lake. This lake holds so many memories for our family. Papa used to fish and water ski there as a kid. Jami's family camped out there one summer in the Airstream. Another highlight of the day was visiting with some good family friends, who treated us to some incredible lemon meringue pie and cupcakes!

We stopped for a visit with our friends Bob & Bev (who is pictured here with Mimi).

Hooray for Hickory Point!
