The Farmlands of Nebraska

by Erica

Jason and I experienced a very hot weekend trip to Nebraska. We drove out Thursday and spent time with my mom's side of the family.

Grandma and Grandpa would not be happy that I posted this picture, but I am sure they'll never see this site:)

I know that grandma would appreciate if you said a prayer for her. She is very frail and in a lot of pain right now. She is having to face the decision of having another surgery this week. Seeing that she barely made it through the last one, she is pretty nervous and unsure about what to do.

Then on Saturday we drove to the metropolis of Allen, NE (Population: 230). I have many great childhood memories of visiting my grandma and grandpa Linafelter in Allen. It has been a few years since we have last been there. We sat in the park where they had a barbershop quartet singing, a band (which my dad played in) playing, homemade ice cream for sale, a petting zoo with llamas and goats, pony rides and a dunking booth. Uptown, you could shop for antiques and visit a car show.

Saturday we got together for brunch with my dad's side of the family and took off for home. It was so nice to see everyone. Next time we are out there, we'll have a little one to show off:)
