A couple of glasses of English Mild Ale, a Meat & Cheese Platter followed by some Famous Chicken Salad was all we needed for a most delightful afternoon repast. With an opportunity for lively conversation with Lori, we were all set. By closing time we’d also...

Cozad and the 100th Meridian

When choosing a restaurant for a Birthday Meal, it’s a good idea to search Yelp! for Desserts. That strategy lead us to The Keeping Room in Nebraska City, Nebraska. We parked the T@B on a street parallel to Central Avenue and walked to the restaurant. Not many people...

Two Night Stay

Two Night Stay

It’s been a good two night stay here at the West Omaha KOA. We’d been pleased when we were able to get Saturday night reservations online just a couple of days before the weekend then when we called and could not get Friday night also, we weren’t surprised. Then when...

Burgh House Hampstead

Burgh House Hampstead

Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week.
