Self portrait

On a train in Colorado.

I call myself TravelLady, but I become homesick after 3 days of travel.

I love to visit kids and grandkids, but I love to get back home.

I love...

my church

my friends

my job

my city...

Mayhew Cabin, 1855

Mayhew Cabin is listed as one of the oldest structures in Nebraska.

It may have been used in the 1870's as a station for the Underground Railroad.

Needing a break from driving, we stopped in Nebraska City looking for the Pendleton

Outlet store.   We explored the streets looking for downtown and came upon this cabin.

Note - we also found downtown.

Are U-turns legal in Nebraska?

The railroad cut trees to make railroad ties.

Ahhhh....vacation

How nice to see a vacation face!

No worry about patients, helicopters, schedules.

No worry about insurance, authorizations, dates, deadlines.

This vacation was a restful one for James and TravelLady.....

Wyoming Mountains

He covers the sky with clouds,

he supplies the earth with rain,

and makes the grass grow on the hills.
