Jonny and Jenny left for Chicago on Tuesday, September 15. Jonny will start law school at the University of Chicago in a couple of weeks. Gretta insisted they get a really big truck so they could take all their treasures, but she didn't realize how HUGE it would be.
Jenny's family arrived en masse on Tuesday morning to pack J&J's belongings onto the truck.
Then, we took some final family pictures....
Dave and Gretta tracked J&J all day long, as they rode the freeway through rain and sunshine to Cheyenne, where they stayed, as Earl Holding's guests, at the Little America. Luckily, it was right by the freeway, so Jonny didn't have to maneuver the truck, with car hooked on behind, very much. They were in Chicago by nightfall the next day, and Jenny's dad soon arrived to help them unpack and then celebrate by attending a Cubs baseball game.
Gretta comforted herself, after J&J left, with a ward "empty nesters" tour of the City Cemetery. Half the fun was being with old friends, the Pettys, Moenches, Youngs, Micki Dennis, Hornes, and Kim Wilson.
A Church historian pointed out graves of Wilford Woodruff, Emmeline Wells (early Relief Society president), Anthony Ivins (apostle who often visited the Mormon colonies in Mexico), and Joseph Fielding Smith.
We celebrated Sunday dinner with Michael, our one precious child left in Salt Lake City.
