My Parents
This past weekend was spent with my parents, Verlyn & Linda Kellenberger. Any time I get to spend with them (or any of my family) is a treasure. I look forward to it for days, soak it up during their stay, and then long for another trip home or visit here. The only similar sentiments I've experienced was as a kid longing for Christmas Day or my birthday. Being 8 hours from my home, I always realize the sacrifice & time spent traveling to good ole' Morton, IL. We enjoyed dinner with two of my Dad's aunts Friday night at Jonas in E. Peoria; journeyed to Tanner's Orchards Saturday morning for some yummy apple cider, fritters, and well, apples; went shopping a bit Saturday noon at Shoppes at Grand Praire and then had a special visit with another one of my Dad's aunts at Restmor here in Morton. Although we spend quite a bit of time chatting on the phone week after week, I always LOVE spending time together! Thanks again for coming Mom & Dad...WE love you!
