Home again


It's taken me awhile to put my mind on the task of posting after my trip to Nebraska.  I had a really good time and it just flew by so quickly that I sort of want to head right back and do it all over again.  My parents were doing well, but it is hard to see them getting older and slowing down.  I spent a lot of time with my brother's family and even had a one-on-one lunch with my brother - who has a lot of good things to say when you can get him to slow down long enough to talk!  I also spent time with good friends and (best of all) myself.  The trip always involves renting a car and a 3.5 hour drive from the airport so I get to crank up the music and just...well, chill.  No stress, no conversation, and no "are we there yet?" from the back seat.


I had meant to take a lot of pictures while I was home so I could put together a slideshow and somehow only managed to get two (!) pictures taken - one of the river near our home and the other of my old junior high, which is now a middle school.  I guess I'll have to go back just to take photos!

My brother in law grew up in North Platte. He went to St. Pat's.
Small world. :0)
Glad that your trip went well.

It's been too many years since I've been home. I never thought I'd say it, but I miss North Platte.

Come back! All of you! I'd love to see you, Melissa! North Plattte loved having Lori home for awhile - even if she was clipping her toenails at 4th & Jeffers. (I'm pretty sure I saw her at Perkins eating without utensils, too!)
