Nebraska: Part 3 of 3

I spent much of my short visit to Nebraska helping Mom with some odd jobs. Here she is with a rubber tree plant I helped her prune and repot.


Monday night I went out with my sister Barb and her husband Mike ("Barb's Mike," not to be confused with "My Brother Mike.") We met at Granite City, which graciously provided the backdrop for the photo.


Here's Brother Mike with a portrait of our great-great grandfather, whose first two names were Michael James, and our great-great grandmother, whose first two names were Margaret Jane. It's not a coincidence that Mike and Mom have those names too.


It was a too-short but good visit, complete with early-fall cool weather. I'm already looking forward to my next trip back to Nebraska.
