Cemetery caches, puzzle caches and caches that bring back long-forgotten memories.

Ron volunteers with the Wheelchair Ramp Accessibility Program (WRAP). We build ramps free of labor cost for those in the area that need them for home access. To date I have helped on 284 projects. Sue has knitted thousands of hats that have been donated to various organizations in eastern Iowa that service the homeless and needy. She also knits baby hats for the NICU at the U of I Children’s Hospital. She also has a vast interest in the paranormal and has worked with a local investigation team. We also work with Safe Haven of Iowa County on various projects. Safe Haven is a no-kill dog and cat rescue organization. But nothing beats time spent with family and our new great-granddaughter.
