Cedar Rapids Trip

I recently went to Cedar Rapids, IA and various nearby cities in Iowa and Illinois to meet and get to know relatives on my Dad's side of the family that I'd never met; uncles, aunts, cousins, etc. I spent 9 days in that area, seeing all sorts of things that had to do with my "roots". Here's some photos of my trip.

At New Horizon's band rehearsal.  This is a national organization that has bands in cities all across America of people 50 years old or more, combining their skills at instrument-playing to play local community concerts.  This band had about 35 musicians, of which Luman and Sharon are 2 of.

Sharon looking for the next music sheet.  She hasn't played Clarinet since high school until 3 years ago when they got involved with this group.

Luman on his French Horn.  He was in the same boat as Sharon - not playing since high school although he taught high school band students for many years.

Steeple from the church on that campus.  I have quite a few pictures of churches from this trip.  They just looked different than what I'm used to in the parts of the country I've either lived or now live in.

Sharon & Luman during the first set.  They play in a weekly seniors' tennis league.  I sat and watched them play 3 sets of tennis, non-stop - 2 hours in all.  Wow, was I exhausted, just watching them!!! :)

I went with Luman for his every-6-month check-up at the VA Hospital.  This scene was looking out the VA Hospital windows in Iowa City, IA.
