Bill

For my readers down in southeast Nebraska, do you recognize this guy? He has promised for 10 years to come and visit us and he finally did on Sunday! Give up?

Vince_and_Bill

Dr. Bill Bucy! I bet he's the only dentist to make house calls to remind his patient it's time for a cleaning! Vince built Bill a garage very similar to ours so Bill was interested to see how Vince made a garage for himself compared to his. Bill was really impressed with Elmwood...thought it was a very cool town. And he is right!

Lincoln Children's Zoo is packed with fun!
