nebraska to montana – montana to nebraska

by nebraskawheatie

In my previous post, scenes from j & t’s excellent adventure parts 3 & 4 (cont.), I left you with the arrival at “home, home”.  This gets a little confusing with referring back to posts but if you need to be reminded where we are from this point with the pictures I posted, you can refer back to scenes from j & t’s excellent adventure parts 3 & 4. 

After we got home, we TRIED to turn on the water, went through mail and whatnot. The next morning, we packed for a week and headed to Grand Island for Husker Harvest Days. We ran into all kinds of people we knew – including the Miseners.

I’m not sure where this is going to lead but my intentions are to share with you some of the scenes of our travels from Montana to Nebraska, back to Montana and then, finally, back to Nebraska again.

We’ve been “home, home” for two weeks. ONLY two weeks. Harvest feels like a dream. Callie and I made a trip to Omaha on Saturday in search of the perfect Homecoming dress. We met Jenna very briefly at the mall and had lunch with her but basically the day was just a me-and-Cal-day. This doesn’t happen very often.  Anyways, she and I had some fairly deep discussions that day; one being about harvest. She and I agreed that unless you’re involved with harvest, you just can’t explain the feelings this industry creates deep down in your soul. We discussed how sad we were that there are people out there who haven’t any idea what a wonderful place Jordan, Montana is because it’s not within their 10 mile radius. Did we find the perfect dress? We found “plan B” dress. “Plan A” dress is on it’s way in the mail.

scenes from j & t’s excellent adventure-parts 3 & 4

IMG_3074On the road again! This was taken somewhere in the middle of South Dakota. It was a MUST stop or we may have fallen asleep!

Well, I can tell right now this is going to take way longer than the battery on this laptop has. I should have made sure it was fully charged before leaving! You know…sometimes things just don’t happen as you intend on them happening! I have so many pictures of the past week which I’d like to share with you. Unfortunately, I just don’t have enough time with the slow speed of downloading and the short battery life. I will post more, though, when we get home. For now, though, I’ll give you a brief (if I can) explanation of what’s happened.

So, parts 3 & 4 of this adventure began a week ago Saturday. We left Jordan that afternoon and made it as far as Belle Fourche. At this point, we had come full circle from the beginnings of our Montana adventure.

jim & tracy’s excellent adventure

by Nebraska Wheatie

“We were just in here yesterday”, says Mr. Jim as we’re walking into the Scottsbluff, NE WalMart this evening. “No we weren’t. It must have been the day before”, I replied. “Nope, it was just yesterday”, said Jim. Continue reading →

Feeling a Little Blue Tonight (Video)

by nebraskawheatie

I should have more pictures to share but I don’t. But what I do have is a video that Taylor put together for the All Aboard Wheat Harvest. She and Jim had an uneventful trip (a good thing) to Shattuck, OK and back again.
