The Machine Shed makes my Tummy Happy & Happenings on the River...



On our way back home Sunday we stopped at one of our "favorite eatin' joints"...The Machine Shed.

They have fabulous food. The girls ordered a cinnamon roll, and by cinnamon roll I mean CINNAMON ROLL. I am surprised the waitress was able to carry it out to us by herself. Their idea of a roll is closer to an entire pan of rolls if you ask me. We all enjoyed it, but ultimately, the majority of it ended up in a takeout box!
I discovered The Machine Shed has a blog. They have some helpful information you might enjoy.

Tummies happy and full, we headed for home. We arrived in Omaha mid afternoon and decided to stop and take a look at the rising Missouri River. It's definitely rising, and there is evidence nearly everywhere you look that people are preparing for it to continue to rise.

The photo on the left I took over Memorial Weekend, just 14 days ago.


Probably the most interesting thing we saw was someone's front porch (or deck of some sort) with it's recycling bin still on it float right by us. Check out the video I shot...





Walk ways and roads in some areas seem to just disappear into the water. Sandbags are a common sight. Many have unloaded their homes and are waiting for the waters to arrive while they wonder what's in store for their homes and life as they know it; praying for all involved.
