Went On Spring Break!

Yes, I went on spring break along the Platte River where the Sandhill cranes and snow geese are migrating. My friends Jim and Julie took Julie's mom Laura and I along on their way to Iowa for her Auntie's 93rd birthday party. They dropped me off at Melinda's home in Omaha while they went on to Iowa for the party. Julie and Melinda are my high school buddies from way back when. 

While on the way we stopped to view the miraculous migration of the cranes. What a beautiful sight. I have never  seen them during their migration and have always wanted to.

In route to Sidney to catch my ride, I stopped at Paqui's to drop off Rico. Boy, Breqkon is getting getting so BiG! We all went to a fish fry of one of Paqui's friends. It was nice to get my grandma fix and see both the grandkids. I then headed down to Sidney in a dust storm that rivaled the 30's! I stopped at the cemetery to put flowers on Brian's grave along with all the other family members' graves that have passed on. Boy, what an ordeal that was with the strong wind and dust! I could hardly stand up.

While staying in the big city, Melinda took me to several wonderful places to eat that are not in my neck of the woods. She also took to me shopping and to the Joslyn Art Museum. What more could I ask for. When Jim and Julie returned we had a bonfire and burned out old man winter and brought in Spring. You certainly couldn't tell it by the weather lately though!
