| I know it's rude to discuss a woman's age.. but can you believe she is 94?! |
-- we stayed busy with something fun almost every night! The most dramatic would be T helping the local Boy Scouts earn their survival merit badge. They had to complete a campout where they "roughed it" including building their own shelter (no sleeping bags, no tents, etc!) and making a fire without matches. Unfortunately, the night they chose had a windchill below freezing so they sure put their skills to the test! T reports he didn't get much sleep since he was helping boys improve their sleeping situation all night to keep warm - but he had a good time! He took it all very seriously "because they may need to know it someday!".
-- we were able to spend an evening along the Platte River in a blind and watch the Sandhill Cranes return to their roost. The Sandhill Cranes travel right through this area as they migrate from Texas (some go as far north as Siberia!) and it really is an impressive sight! There had to have been thousands of cranes that landed in the shallow water just in front of our blind right after sunset. Unfortunately, the low-light didn't lend itself well to truly capturing the impact via cellphone camera.. But we're loving seeing everything that is unique to this area as we know we are only here a couple years!
-- like you see in the picture, my Gma turned 94! I was on-call Saturday night so we were thrilled when we were able to scoot back to Omaha on Sunday afternoon and celebrate with her! T and I feel extremely blessed to have such amazing grandmas (that sure don't act or look their age!). Cheers to many more happy, healthy days together!
