Our fourth widow is Bina and became a widow in 2007. Her family consists of 4 boys and 7 girls. Bina & my Mom became friends when they were younger in Kansas. My Grandpa and her Dad were the best of friends. Moma and Bina attended the same Catholic church for years. They ended up being pregnant at the same time for 9 of their kids, always having the opposite sex of each other. When we took our first trip to Kansas she was right at home.
Bina has been a big inspiration for a lot of trips. She had never been to Yellowstone National Park and it was a big dream of hers to see it one day. The long 9 hour trip with me driving was just not a reality. But as always our Supreme Travel Agent arranged for a couple of chaperon's to accompany us, my sister Verna ∧ her husband Richard. I will tell you about that trip another time.Our next trip was again inspired by her desire to see the Chapel at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. Would you believe this was a trip we took in the 8th grade (what was that like 20 years ago?) for National Junior Honor Society. It will be an adventure for sure. Complete with non other than a stop to McDonald's for any widow who has not asked the unaskable question "Are we there yet?"
