Busy Saturday

A busy Saturday included a trip to the black and gold campus for tailgating with Justin's class followed up by a game at Kinnick. Ironically, my sister and her husband were also at the game. We met up with them briefly to share an extra free ticket and we were both on our way into the sea of black and gold. After the game, we stopped by the hospital to visit a co-worker's son with cystic fibrosis. Three year old Berne had been in the hospital for about a week and is scheduled for surgery on Monday due to some problems with his colon. His dad said he was in the best spirits he'd been in days and it was fun to watch him play with his Thomas the Train toys on his hospital bed. Please keep Berne and his family in your prayers. His twin sister, Maren, also has cystic fibrosis. We drove back home to attend a 90th celebration of John Deere Waterloo Works. I hadn't seen that much green in a LONG time!
