Photos: Trip to Omaha (Again)

I had to go to Omaha today to pick up Hannah's sewing machine and my sewing machine from the Bernina Store; the tech was done servicing them.  Just in time, too; I needed to put some pieces of batting together, and it works much better on the Artista 180 with its 9mm zigzag and adjustable pressure on the presser foot than it does on the 830 Electronic Record with its 6mm zigzag, faithful machine though it is.  Pretty day today.  

First, a trip uptown to the bank...

School bus crossing a bridge over me.  Did anybody other than me ever pretend when you were little that the overhead bridge and the road you were on dissected, and you'd have big, bad, imaginary crashes with the vehicles going over? 

When I got home and took Hannah's machine back to her, Joanna brought a little green praying mantis to show me.  Those things can not only swivel their heads clear around backwards, they can also roll their eyeballs toward the backs of their sockets to get a better look at you!
