Omaha, NE
After 6 weeks at home I find myself on the road again. This time we are on our way to Denver, Salt
Lake City and Kansas City. We left home
at 2 pm yesterday afternoon with 1006 miles to cover to get to the first
show. We spent the night in Omaha, NE,
near the zoo. Just past that locomotive
setting on the bluff over the Missouri River.
In 1976 I lived not far from where I spent the night. I had left the Army and had my first job with
PIE (Pacific Intermountain Express) as a Trainee. This
area has changed so much, but everywhere and everything has changed.
Today we will drive the rest of the way to Denver. I must be getting old. I can’t remember the
last time I forgot to pack my razor, but I did yesterday. Well I will treat myself to a new one.
I have to tell you I am not looking forward to this
trip. March was very warm and I got the
itch to plant my garden. April was cold
and I had to cover the plants. My cows
had their calves and now I want finish planting. My first cutting hay crop can be cut next
week if the weatherman is correct about the temperature. And I will be in on the road. I am just a frustrated farmer and sometimes
it just gets the best of me.
Oh well, if it were easy everyone would do it. So just come by our booth to visit and pick
up that new tool you need for your next project. I have a special gift for qualifying purchases. A Quilter’s Rule Tote Bag could be
yours. These are brand new and are off
white cotton with burgundy print. Who
will be the first?
