My wife and I live in Elwood. It's the county seat, and largest town in Gosper County,NE. In reality it is the only town in the county. The population is right under 800. Smithfield the only other town has 68 people. I had intended to go inside and take some pictures but remembered the facade was the only real art deco remaining. The building was erected by the WPA in the early 30's. Gosper county is named after John J. Gosper a former Nebraska secretary of state.

Had to run some errands :

I also went grocery shopping, but wal-mart is wal-mart. The only thing I'd imagine that is different about our local store is this:384201_10150365387126835_508016834_8769439_674170505_n.jpg

The local store sells guns and ammo for hunting. I think this is something they only do in the more 'rural' stores idk.

My wife is a busy sign language interpreter, so the fact I work a lot less than she does provides me with plenty of time to pursue hobbie :

In case you haven't noticed after jeans thrifting is my sole hobby. I go 2-3 times a week most weeks. I didn't buy anything today, but here is some of what I saw:

Thought this nameplate was kind of cool. kept looking around to see if a guy in a fedora was following me after I saw this.

I am not the best about contributing to this. Had a great thanksgiving. Had the camera ready, and the iphone as a back up... got going yesterday and both died before anything that great happened. Here are a few I was able to take before everything went to crap:

A little bit of prep. We were in charge of the vegetables. Lauren did (and usually does) most of the cooking, but I helped her out a bit and cut up a ton of stuff. I also took care of boiling and glazing the carrots.

Butter makes everything better! Here is a shot of the green beans (chicken bouillon,worchestershire sauce,onion, and beans and BUTTER) quite tasty.

I always get to be the taste-tester. Here are some brownie bites Lauren whipped up. They're vegan & guilt free(instead of oil and eggs Lauren uses black beans, it sounds weird I know but you honestly cannot taste the difference)

Being out in the sticks, we drive a lot. I was excited to see gas below $3.35.

here is 'Mamasita'. we aren't actually related, but we go to church with her and she's awesome. Here she is telling a captivating story about a Thanksgiving she had as a child in Colorado.

I kind of went apeshit on the pie. Here is a picture my friend messaged me of my conquest of the pies. There were 5 different types so of course I had to try each one. Cherry Cheesecake,Blueberry Cheesecake,Chocolate Pecan,Apple, and of course Pumpkin. Needless to say the Roy's were fitting a little tight.

Came home and took a little nap. The triptophane (sp?) kicked in like a ton of bricks.

Lauren decorated most of the tree, but I always do my one or two ornaments.

There is todays update, a few more days before I send these west to Roy. Wish I could just keep them, really love these a lot!

Well, the time has come for me to say goodbye to this much beloved pair of jeans. (pardon the shitty iphone pics, i left for work before the sun came up, and got home after it went down)

My personal addition/gift. I usually put one in the watch pocket of all my jeans, a good luck charm I guess.

almost dry. I will take some post wash pics once my real camera has charged.

edit = I can't seem to find the battery charger for my camera, so in the interest of time and to ensure Roy6 gets as much time in these as possible I am gonna go ahead and package them up and send them out west.
