Pawnee Lake near Lincoln, NE & the Hawley Bed & Breakfast

I had guests this weekend but on Sunday, they were busy, so John and I took our 3 oldest grandchildren to Pawnee Lake. Our son was camping there and had their jet ski's and tubes out on the lake. His wife's extended family had gathered there too, so there were lots of kids, toys to play in the sand beach and playing on the water on the tubes, rides in a boat, jet ski, or on a tube behind one. A great time was had by all.
As evening came, we all went back to the camp site and had a bountiful supper of grilled pork chops, pork steaks, beef steaks and hot dogs. Also many other dishes contributed by everyone.
I had taken a yellow cake meant for strawberry shortcake, leftover fresh baked bread from breakfast, and a coffee cake that got eaten by hungry kids during the day. Others had icecream bars, crackers and chips. When all the food was gone, I got out the big salad I had made for supper and all the veggies disappeared from that.
By supper time, my contribution was mostly lettuce from the salad and the strawberrys. But everyonone enjoyed what was put out and no one went away hungry.
We headed home with 3 tired kids that were sacked out before we got very far. John dropped me at home to take care of the dogs and I got all the trash out for trash pick up early the next morning. We unpacked the car and threw all the wet clothes and towels in the washer. Then time to head back to the bnb to put away dishes from breakfast that were in the drainer and spiff anything up. My guests were still out so spent some time on the computer and went to bed. Today is Memorial day and I would like to go to Wyuka Cemetery to see the flowers and look at the memorials.
