Cornhusker Capital

We got up late, after a stormy night in which our weather radio went off three times, before I turned it off. Severe thunderstorm watches and warnings, flood watches, no tornadoes. Lots of lightning in the distance.

The drive to Lincoln was less than 200 miles, so not a big deal. We ended up at the private campground in Lincoln, has a good rating, and is pretty nice.


We had time to do one thing this afternoon before things closed, so we went to the International Quilt Center, which had interesting exhibits of quilts from the Indian subcontinent. I really liked the modern quilts done by Hortense Beck, traditional but bold, with a high level craftsmanship. Unfortunately, no photos allowed in the museum, so I took one outside. We visited the famous Dairy Store at the university of Nebraska, part of their food program since 1917,an institution, good ice cream.
