What's In This Blog

I created this blog for my journal. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In this blog I keep many of the things I come across as a member of the church. I also share my experiences on the ACE Train and getting to work, my experiences in Manteca where we have lived for three years, and other things I think are noticeable.

Sunset, Rainbow Waiting for the Drone Show

 The sky gave us some pretty lights before the drone show even started.  This is ij Omaha at Memorial Park.  I was driving so didn't get picture, but there was a full double rainbow on the drive over.  










Papio Fun Park is Closed

 Just off of the Halleck Park on the west side there is Papio Fun Center and across the street Papio Bowl.  Looked pretty fun.  The fun center had miniature golf and go carts.  It also had lazer tag, arcade and batting cages.  This is closed now.  It had a run of 25 years of fun.  However the Papio Bowl is open.

The Drone Show at Memorial Park for Memorial Day

 I got a few views of the drone show at Memorial Park.  We ended up behind a tree but slid a bit to see more but still had some obstruction.




















This evening was to include the unfurling of the largest American flag but the rain cancelled this.  The rain stayed away for the presentation, but there was wet and mud around.  


Papillion Veterans Park Includes POW Memorial and Gold Star Memorial

 On the south wst corner of Halleck Park is reserved as a Veterans Memorial Park.  It is very well done.  especially poignant are the gold star statue and the POW/MIA statue. 






There are like ten of these with front and back covered
