Day 12 Lincoln Nebraska

We just got back from the Farmer’s Market in downtown Lincoln, and now Sebastian is napping, and Dora is blowing bubbles with Matt in the front yard. I’m eating one of Matt’s cookies, looking out over Dana’s back yard: this is the life! There are so many things that are amazing to me about being here: trees! Cool weather! Buildings that are over 50 years old! Neighbors hanging out in their front yards! These are not things you find in Tempe. So far the summer is proving to be as I expected: very relaxing, free from worries (well, most worries), and time together as a family. It is very good.

Highlights of our time in Lincoln: meeting Ryan Bates, seeing fireflies, visiting with cousin Dave Beekman and his family, watching Sebastian try to touch Ryan in his cradle, walking Titus (Dana and John’s black lab), the lightening storms, and just hanging out in the front yard talking.
