Photos: Drive to Kearney

 This morning I went to Kearney to deliver ten quilts to the Expo Building at the Kearney Fairgrounds for the Threads Across Nebraska Quilt Show.

The silos must be full, as they are starting to use their ground storage for corn. It will be covered with heavy white tarps.

The Great Platte River Road Archway Monument & Museum

The Great Platte River Road Archway Monument & Museum. Those two windows are a lot bigger than they seem. Some years ago, we sat on the sill and watched the traffic on I80 below. The windows are located in a room of the museum that depicts an old-fashioned café, circa 1950, complete with black and white checked floors and red-upholstered chairs -- and you can buy old-time root beer floats with two straws in each glass.
