What would this old oak have to say?; I feel its old, wise presence when Weezie and I walk in Grant Woods.

Car Psychosis

After a beautiful walk at Raven Glen yesterday, Gracie and I came back to a car which seemed alternately to be dead or possessed. My always reliable car wouldn't start.

What a great place for this reception! Here are a few shots to showplace the ambience. Here's another spouse grateful for the venue. So we drove to Omaha - 500 miles - on Friday and went to this lovely reception. On Saturday, we took a bus tour of Omaha. It struck me as a little gem of a city. Many families who made their fortune there have given back to support the arts and sports. Warren Buffet is only one of many. And by the way, my husband and his brother Tom used to shovel M...
