On The Road Again and Nebraska Football

We are in Texas, having left Omaha about five am. So 600 miles later, we are in Dalhart, TX, on our way to Albuquerque. We think that our house is finally selling, and we may need to be out by September 19. So a quick trip to Albuquerque was in order since Weems Gallery has agreed to take a consignment of my stained glass, hopefully for future sales in this wonderful Albuquerque gallery. We have known Ms. Weems for years and are so pleased that she is going to take a risk on my work and sell it. We'll see her tomorrow afternoon and will find out what items she thinks will work. I'll keep you posted on the results of our meeting.

Yesterday we had a football party at our house for the kids and grands and friends from church. Needless to say, Nebraska won 52 to 10 against Nevada. A wonderful result and a great way to open the season. We have become ardent Nebraska fans and wear the requisite red shirt, hat, and other stuff which we mostly get at either bargain rates or garage sales. The bean bag Nebraska chair was a real find and only $5. Last year doing antique or glass sales we would take our portable television along and get joined by other dealers who wanted to know the score of The Game. Nebraska did not always win, but when they did, the whole convention center knew it. At the game yesterday, we could see the people in the stands, about 90,000 or more, and it was a sea of red.

From HW2 to our readers: We would strongly recommend NOT eating lunch in Meade, Ks, and not eating dinner in Dalhart, TX, on Sunday or Labor Day weekend. Them's slim pickins thar, y'all!

Not only was the bean bag a great find, but also were the prized possessions of a red "N" "Husker" cowboy hat (for him) and a WONDERFUL red cardigan sweater (for me), decorated with every Husker logo and/or emblem ever made! It's quite fun to wear these on game days in NE and get the awes and "OOOOH!'s" of sheer admiration, especially from grandson James, who will cheer for ANY other team. Now....how 'bout that Michigan score? Go Appalachian State!
