Sunny Friday

I thought I would post some photos today of our drive to Omaha last week on Friday and Saturday. The passes had some snow in them, but overall the drive was wonderful. We timed it well, because all of the roadsigns warned us of a winter storm warning taking a fact Friday night at midnight going through Monday evening. We just missed it!

The autumn colors put on a beautiful show.

Snow up high, but thankfully not on the road.

Isn’t this gorgeous?  And my iPhone photos at 80 mph don’t even begin to do it justice.  I think this one looks almost like a painting.  

This is a little valley just before you cross from Montana into Wyoming.  Dennis even pulled off the interstate so I could get this picture. I thought it was just so beautiful!

The Big Horn Mountains in the back ground.





Then, just before we crossed from Wyoming into South Dakota I got the shot of Devils Tower National Monument. This was also taken as we were flying down the interstate and the tower itself was over 30 miles away!

Just before we reached our stopping point for the night in Mitchell South Dakota, Dennis said “look in your rearview mirrorand this is the photo I got of a gorgeous sunset behind us.

This is a photo of the shawl I was knitting as we drove.  It’s a Christmas present and I finished it and a sweater for Piper.  Photos to come!

I have lots more photos of our trip. Next, I’ll show you the pictures of the famous Corn Palace in Mitchell, South Dakota. It was too dark to see it when we arrived Saturday night, but before we left Sunday morning we stopped by and took some pictures. When we lived in Nebraska, we would stop every few years and see it on our way to the Black Hills or Yellowstone National Park.  We haven’t seen it for almost 30 years so it was a treat.

My back held up very well on the drive to and from Nebraska, but unfortunately I over did it while we were there and spent a day and a half down with back spasms. I went to the doctor yesterday and he has given me a prescription that he hopes will help the spasms and a referral to a spine and pain center. I’m sure hoping someone figures it all out soon.  We were only there a week and I wasted over a day on this silly back of mine.  Thank you to all of you keep me in your thoughts and prayers as we traveled. You don’t know how much I appreciate it. I am so blessed to have you all as friends.

See you again soon!  I hope you all have a wonderful Friday.  This new app makes posting so easy! I wish I would have found it a long, long time ago.  I appreciate all the encouraging comments on the last two posts. You girls are great!
