December 2017 Columbia and Sunrise Beach, MO

I went to Missouri to visit my sisters. Lauve had work so stayed home. I wanted to catch up with both sisters and help Lindy and her husband Weldon decide how to move on after selling their lake resort (last February).

Nancy, Peter, Weldon, Lindy

Nancy and her husband, Peter, live in Columbia. The three of us drove to the Lake and stayed in Lindy’s old resort – Dogwood Acres. The new owners didn’t know we were related to Lindy, so we felt like spies.

Lindy and Weldon have a small, comfortable place near the lake all set up for the holidays.

The girls cooked delicious meals, but we had to do the Burdick thing and went for Pizza our last night at the Lake.

After deep discussion, Lindy and Weldon decided to stay at the Lake, find better jobs and buy the house they are now renting. They seemed very comfortable with the decision even “the day after.”

My last night was in Columbia and Nancy had her friends Jim and Martha for dinner. They are a lovely couple, interested in all sorts of subjects, but especially food and politics. Among other things, I learned about GMO issues from Martha, a retired food lawyer.
