Before leaving Kearney we had a couple of stops to make.
Some shopping for the maths department. Therese would approve.
Several purchases were made. The assistants were delightful.
One of them shared her favourite acronym...
Just across the road is a quilt shop....oh dear.....
This one was on three floors and there were lovely quilts on display.
We picked up some good ideas for projects.
It was a busy, interesting shop and yes, several purchases were made....
On the road now and guess what - the first town along the route at Cozad had a quilt shop.... And this was a really, really good one.....
It was full of modern fabrics and ideas for projects.... And just inside the door was a bin with fat quarter bundles half off........
Love this bright version of the quilt that was hanging in our room at the MSQC.
Bought a kit in the sale to make this table topper....
This fabric below is 'Happy Go Lucky' by Bonnie and Camille. We found several bundles of 12 fat quarters in the bargain bin for $18. Needless to say they are no longer in the bargain bin ......
This idea for using a jelly roll will have to be copied!
On the road again and after a scary moment when we thought we were about to run out of gas on the I-80 we paused at Paxton to eat buffalo steak.....
.....surrounded by stuffed guests....
This guy joined us at our table...
On the road again and more straight, straight roads....
With beautiful Sandhills on either side.
It's late in the day so the shadows are lovely...
Racing us along the road are endless trains, this one had 148 carriages and two engines.
Everything is bigger over here, even the sun. The Nebraska skies are huge.
As we approach Scottsbluff we pull over to admire Chimney Rock, as the pioneers would have done before us.
We have crossed a time line and we are now on mountain time. Even so we stagger into the hotel at 9pm.
We are at Hampton Inn and the room looks good.
Meet Archie our new travelling companion.
Nite nite!

Looks likes you two are having a great time whilst clocking off the miles. Amazed you have found a quilting shop in every town, I've never been in one in my life.
