We’re going to An Evening With Jeff Daniels at The Grand Opera House in Oshkosh tonight, and then hitting the road tomorrow morning on another #whirlwindarttripwithkate. This time we’re headed for Omaha, Nebraska! I haven’t been that far west (on a road trip) since the early aughts when Sharon lived in SW Kansas. I drove through/around Omaha a few times in the early ’80s when I drove out to Oregon for visits, and then to move there (and, eventually, move back), but have never stopped. It’s not much further west than Kansas City, which was the last big #WWATWK road trip, but it feels like it, and it’s making me yearn for a real long-haul trip! (One of these years.)
The main event is Dripping Earth: Cannupa Hanska Luger at The Joslyn Art Museum on Saturday; we’ll see the exhibit & attend a lecture.
We’ll also be going to Lincoln to visit the International Quilt Museum and the Sheldon Museum of Art, and a few other stops & points of interest in/around/on-the-way. I have stopped in Lincoln before, at least once, to hit the hay on one of those I-80 trips to Oregon, but the Holiday Inn or wherever was the extent of my visit. And maybe McD’s for an Egg McMuffin to fuel forward progress the next morning. This will be more intentional & interesting.
I am really looking forward to getting outta Dodge, as it were, and recharging.

Have fun on your WWATWK trek! I am eager to see photos as well!
Enjoy, Vicki! What a fun trip y’all will have! I love the quiet beauty of Nebraska.
Oh man! Seriously trying (key word) to catch up on your posts. You’ve been busy, the kids have been busy and I’m so, so sorry about the loss of your friend’s son. Life is just so fuc’ng unkind at times. I want to hear more about Nashville and I want pictures from your latest adventure with Kate!
I hope you’re having a great time! We saw Jeff Daniels in To Kill a Mockingbird in NYC back in 2019 and he was fabulous.
Enjoy your road trip. The Joslyn has recently been redone and is supposed to be quite nice. The International Quilt Museum is fabulous. Safe travels.
