The Good Life.....

 Nebraska... The good life. 
The place where you talk 5 minutes and you become family.. The place where everyone is welcome and treated like longtime friends. I can't believe the kindness we experienced in Nebraska. The diversity of the land is amazing! I came here thinking it was FLAT and to be honest the first part was pretty much FLAT, then you get to the parts with beautiful lakes and rolling hills, cattle ranches and crops... You go from urban cities to open prairies with rattlesnakes and tumble weeds! People are just plain friendly! You walk for a couple of miles and a nice farmer asks do you need a ride? How about a cold bottle of water? Where you staying tonight?? Can I help you anyway? We never really had to worry about where we were going to stay because we knew God had a friendly farmer waiting on us!:) I believe Nebraska has been the most faith strengthening state so far. The place I thought would be dull and flat was full of loving kind people waiting to lend a hand to complete strangers!! God always provides! Thank you Friendly Nebraskans for making our time there so pleasant!

Pioneer Village in Minden, Nebraska

 Hello everyone!!!
I'm sorry I haven't written in so long, we've been pretty busy putting miles behind us headed to the west:) Today we took a detour off the trail to the American Pioneer Museum in Minden, Nebraska.
If your ever up this way it's worth going to! I've included a few interesting pictures from the museum.some pictures were difficult to take, so you'll just have to come see for yourself!!:) I really enjoyed all the old cars and learning how engineering and the progress of technology has changed this world! Just think I was taking pictures with a smart phone in a pioneer village where they wouldn't have been able to even capture what they saw to show other people. Some things I'm glad have changed and some things I wish would have stayed as simple as it was then.  Hope you enjoy these pictures and have a chance to go see for yourself! God Bless!~
