Flat Ruthie and I went out to pick up my beautiful daughter from
the airport. Nebraska took a
picture of us at the airport and I hope she decides to share with me. Anywho, after she dropped us off at my place.
Setting down KT’s bag, KT, Ruthie and me
went out for a little walk to the bus stop so we could get something to eat.
We stopped at the Mutual of Omaha building to take pictures in
front of the swimmer display for the Olympic Trials that are being held here at
the Quest Center. KT came in on the same airplane as the swim team from Notre Dame!! (and I gave them a shout out for Beth and Ken!)
Earlier this week Ruthie and I met this Father/daughter combo
returning from a game at the College World Series that is being held here as
well as the Swimming Trials. I thought
it apropos with the events of this weekend!
Now I am not sure of Real Ruth’s politics but if she did not
want Flat Ruthie to make a political statement, she should not have sent her to
Omaha! (big SMILE) On our way home from a
big fat 5 Guys Burgers, we saw these Vets who are essentially protesting US foreign
policy. They REALLY enjoyed taking the
picture with Flat Ruthie and to me THAT is what has made travels with Flat Ruthie
special.
I am sure that I will take Flat Ruthie to ‘someplace’ but to me,
EVERYPLACE is someplace!! The people I
run into and have made a connection with here in Omaha are wide and varied, but
at the same time, patently predictable!
Who would NOT expect me to be friendly with the owner/operator of the
Cookie Company at Westroads Mall!
Hope that you enjoyed meeting my daughter and look forward to
more photos of her, Flat Ruthie and myself in the coming days!!
Love & Rockets!!

Looking forward to many great adventures. Welcome KT.
KT is sooo beautiful, Mark. I know you will enjoy every minute of the time you spend with her. I love the picture of you and her by the swimmer display and I like KT's involvement with your other house guest, Flat Ruthie. I think it is so neat too, like I said before, that you are enlisting others in your adventures with Flat Ruthie. She is having quite the time in Omaha!
I know you will treasure your time with KT! I look forward to hearing of where your days take you and the adventures you experience!
betty
Cheering you on! Have a good time and keep the photos coming!
Ok, I was basically going to write everything Jonthy wrote...plus, she is so beautiful.
