NEBRASKANS TAKE NOO YO’K

We are crushed to report that the cheapo camera our two older girls took on their big New York City adventure didn’t work. So they have no pictures of all they saw and did. They went to Chinatown, Little Italy, Tiffany’s, the Plaza, a couple of museums, played football in Central Park, negotiated the subways like champs, and did all that wonderful first-trip-to-the-Big-Apple kind of stuff.

One thing stands out, though: the older one’s boyfriend is interning there, and he fixed the younger one up with a date for Saturday night, a fellow intern. He’s a native New Yorker, and his name is Vinny. Is that classic, or what?

What’s just as classic is that the four of them went out to dinner in a place where, after you dine, you have TANGO LESSONS!!!!!

Maybe they BROKE the camera so we couldn’t see the picture of them with red roses between their teeth, being bent over backwards on the dance floor . . . because wow! Wouldn’t THAT have had juicy blackmail potential!

Prayer request: Rest and comfort to the family of a dear friend up in Minnesota whose mother-in-law, Lois, died recently. It’s interesting to note that this faithful daughter-in-law named her own daughter Ruth -- the most faithful daughter-in-law in history! There’s a big void in my friend’s life since her caretaking duties are over, but Father, fill it with Your rewards of peace and rest for a job well done. (Ruth 1:16)
