Melbourne, FL to Omaha NE March-April 09



Ceilidh will surely miss "Nana". Here she is getting one last snack. Ceilidh spent many hours sleeping on this chair with Bill's mom. Every morning she would go to Mom's back door and bark to be let in, then spend most of the day with her. I was beginning to wonder whose dog she was!!




Hitched up and ready to pull out. That's Jeanette and Jim with Bill. They came over to say "goodbye" on Sunday along with Cindy and family. We left Melbourne, Monday, March 30. The 4 1/2 months we spent with Bill's mom sure went fast! It was a great winter and we were glad to be able to help out while we were here.




After spending 2 nights at Flying J truck stops in Georgia, we settled in for 2 nights at Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area in Kentucky. We had a beautiful site with great views of the lake. That's Ceilidh looking out the back window.






Barb & Ceilidh by the lake. This was the day before the TORNADO warning when we had to vacate the RV and gather with the other campers in the shower house. Luckily all we got was heavy rain, wind, and small hail. But, it makes you a bit nervous.....





I was so busy taking picture of the Arch in St. Louis that I missed crossing the Mississippi! After passing through St. Louis we crossed the Missouri River 3 times before we got to Omaha.







We had to take the RV over this bridge to get to Bonnie & Ed's son-in-laws place where we parked for a week. I was a little apprehensive but we made it across.







Having a laugh with my longtime friend, Bonnie, who I've known since 1963! We have so much fun together.







Bonnie, Ed and the girls, Shelly and Ceilidh. They got along great together and had fun chasing each other around the house and going for walks. Shelly is half beagle and half pug, a puggle.






Lunch at the Bohemian Cafe, my favorite Omaha eating place! They give you so much to eat that we get the lunch menu and still take half of it home. They have the best Hungarian goulash I have ever tasted, dumplings, sweet and sour cabbage, yum!






Bonnie and Ed's son-in-law, John, owns a boarding stable and also has horses of his own. He was kind enough to saddle up his own horse, Buck, and let me ride. Buck is a beautiful buckskin Quarter Horse. Even though he hadn't been ridden since last fall, he was wonderful to ride. He has the most amazingly smooth trot.






I rode in the outdoor arena since it was such a nice day. John also has the largest indoor arena in Eastern Nebraska. It is 100' x 220'. He has a beautiful boarding stable with 20 stalls and room for about 12 more. It is all insulated and heated.
