We have another famous Nebraskan's birthday on Friday. Anyone know who?

Happy birthday, Marg Helgenberger!

Marg Helgenberger is one of my favorite current famous Nebraskans and has been since CSI started. She was born in Fremont on November 16, 1958. She grew up in Nebraska and attended Kearney State College and finished at Northwestern University.

She has been in numerous television shows and movies. I think she is a marvelous actress. She plays strong intelligent women and I love her role in CSI.

She has been sponsoring a golf tournament in Omaha since 1997 to raise funds for breast cancer.

I hope she is having a wonderful birthday.

From your fan,

Lincoln Boys Choir.

This Saturday the Lincoln Boys Choir will be having their annual fundraiser with the Waffleman. There will be a silent auction and a live auction as well.

Come hear them singing while you dine on waffles and check out the terrific baskets at the auction. Hope to see you there.

The Waffleman will be serving 8:30 to 11:30 am at the Shriner's Building, 1050 Saltillo Road, Lincoln, Nebraska.

Don't miss it. It's always delicious and fun.

PS Some of my photos will be on the auction.

More birthdays to come this month. Stay tuned.

Happy birthday, Chip Davis.

Chip Davis is a famous Nebraskan who started Mannheim Steamroller. He was born on November 15, 1947 in Hamler, Ohio. He eventually moved to Omaha and took a job in advertising. He first wrote jingles and advertising music. Then he began writing non advertising songs. Who among us that grew up in the 70's wouldn't remember the song Convoy.

It's great to have such a talented person from Nebraska. Chip, I hope you're having a great birthday.

Wow, am I behind in my blog.

Yesterday, we saw the White House, the Holocaust Museum, late lunch at the Hardrock Cafe, and then Ford's Theatre. Then in the evening we did a Haunted House tour--about an hour and a half walk around downtown DC. Very interesting and some more historical information. We had a late supper at a nice Greek restaurant.

Today we're going to the Washington Monument and Arlington Cemetary--at least that is our plan. Tonight we go home. My feet are ready for home.

I'll have to catch up with photos then because we want to see what we can while we're here.

Tomorrow night, back in Lincoln, we're going to the Lied Center to see the Capitol Steps to complete our Washington trip.

Monday

Yesterday, we toured the US Capitol, Library of Congress, Supreme Court, and the Newseum. We took lots of pictures. I'll try to post some tonight. We were exhausted, but it was great.
