Our stay here in Grand Island is almost over, and we\u2019ve had a blast. Like last trip to Nebraska, we left some things on the table for next trip. As Tiny Tunes Adventures remind us, we can\u2019t do everything on the first trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had a great lunch with Greg\u2019s cousins Gary, Patti (and her husband Mark), and Marti. It\u2019s great staying connected with this crew, and we\u2019re thankful to have had a chance to see them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That day also was spent at the Stuhr Museum, looking at how life on the prairie was lived in the late 1800\u2019s. The static displays were great, and the museum has done a wonderful job of rescuing historic buildings, then moving them to the museum grounds. One of these is Henry Fonda\u2019s birthplace; it was a really cute bungalow. Leila had a nice chat with an active milliner; she might have bought a cute hat, but couldn\u2019t think of anywhere to wear it. Not too many ladies wearing hats to church anymore\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today was spent at the Nebraska State Fair. Everyone we had met the previous two days had asked us if we had been to the fair, and we know now why they were so excited to share it. We got to take a ride on a combine! We saw everything from a calf that was just 30 minutes old, to great antique tractors, to all sorts of quilts. Consider Leila inspired!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of quilts, tomorrow we drive to Hamilton, Missouri, the home of Missouri Star Quilts. Leila is excited\u2026more details soon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This wood shop has a great bunch of belts!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Who wouldn\u2019t walk around with a pork chop?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Grandpa Luhn had a saw like this. For the record, it\u2019s another example of our marveling that any of us survived to adulthood.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Did we mention that there were racing pigs?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
We stayed watching this little guy try to stand up for a while. I\u2019m sure he got the hang of it shortly after we left<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
