Picture this

May 29, 2012 by Lynette

I grew up in a small town – a REALLY small town. Greeley, Nebraska has less than 600 people. I went home Memorial Day weekend to visit the parents and “change cars”. (My dad found a great deal on a used car – and agreed to sell my old car for me. Thanks DAD!!!)
A photo montage:

The town’s “hotel” (no, I am not kidding)
Main street – oh my gosh, so much traffic! Holiday weekend craziness!

This WAS Dad’s shop before he “retired”. It still says “Dick’s auto service” on one sign, though it is no longer Dick’s.
One of the town’s bars

One of the town’s bars… “now serving whiskey”. Um, you’re a BAR, didn’t you ALWAYS serve whiskey? I’m confused about this
The courthouse

Still the courthouse – Dad said I needed more than one photo of it
Gas station – gas more expensive than along the tollway – but WAY cheaper than Chicago (which was $4.69 per gallon)

Still the gas station
Dad’s business

The other town bar
Cemetery – Dad said I needed to take a photo of the cemetery

Dad’s “ranch”
Still Dad’s “ranch”

“Frankengrain” (as my friend FeistyMuse calls it) growing at my dad’s “ranch” (which is not a ranch, but a farm)
Inside the building my dad built on his “ranch”

Dad with a tractor he drove all the way to Nebraska from Washington (state) after his brother passed away – he’s super proud of it
I am pretty sure this is a tick – so I disagree with Mindy (my sister’s partner) that we were not in danger of getting ticks on Dad’s “ranch”

Dad’s berm – he is also super proud of this (I had honestly never heard of a berm until Dad had one – apparently it’s a raised bit of land, who knew?)
Dad’s business – though he’s retired, he has a shop, with business hours (as well as a “ranch” and rental properties)… so I don’t think he’s really retired

The corn box inside Dad’s shop – why would great grandchildren want a sandbox when they can have a CORN box???
My “new” car – Dad shined it up so pretty for me!

Me and a friend from high school
