Charles' weekend in Schuyler, Nebraska!

Foggy August morning

Most of the weekend's attendees

The morning started out very foggy as Charles' seminar wrapped up with a final session and a Mass. It was an interesting activity and worth the drive back to Nebraska!

The time at the St. Benedict's Center

The seminar's presenter

A refreshing view and sound

Time for a walk

Sauntering at the labyrinth

Seminar session

The time at the Center is wonderful in part due to the people who attend the events but also for the place itself. Now in its 27th year, this is special place for us!

 

It's a Zoo (plus!)

It's been a long time!

Aardvark sighting

Hanging around

Stopping for refreshments

Things to see in the aquarium

Nearby the golf course, was Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium. Charles had last visited this wonderful place more than twenty-five years ago!

Round two

Taking advantage of a free morning and nice weather, Charles added to the states he has played golf in with Whispering Woods Golf Course in Council Bluffs, Iowa! Not a great score, but the experience was still enjoyable!

Have bear will travel (or not)

Bear on the road

Bear at home

We have a tradition in our family, sneaking a bear into the luggage of whoever is traveling. Belinda made sure that Charles had our "Cornwall bear" to accompany him during his return to Nebraska. Charles decided to take it a step further, and left a "Finn bear" on the bed for Belinda to know that he is thinking about her!

Today in Schuyler

Charles arrived in Schuyler, Nebraska this afternoon ahead of the beginning of a weekend seminar at the St. Benedict's Retreat Center. The event is "Strengthening Your Core: Spiritual Fitness with St. Benedict."

Fore in Kansas!

On the way to Nebraska for a weekend seminar at St. Benedict's Center in Schuyler, Charles made a quick stop to get in nine holes at Meadow Lakes Golf Course in Colby, Kansas. This is the first time he's played in Kansas!
