Small Town

A good crop.

July 28, 2008 by Lauren 14 Comments

Ah, the signs of summer – sweet corn being sold out of the back of pick-up trucks, children running through the sprinklers, and the smell of grass…. growing in the streets.

It’s a good crop this year.

Up close and personal

Yeah, we have brick streets.  Just four of them, though.

Crazy?

March 13, 2008 by Lloyd 12 Comments

The problem with Letters to the Editor in Seward is that a certain percentage of the people who write them are clearly crazy. So, if you write a letter to the editor, you risk proving one way or the other if you are. A few weeks ago I came home to find my beloved Ron Paul sign thrown into the neighbor’s yard. It was a little bit of a bother to get it back into the ground (everything was frozen solid) but with a hammer and an ice-pick I managed well enough. Again the next day. Again the next. I was a little bit ticked off, but also quite glad. This gave me the perfect opportunity to see if I was crazy.

yeah, click here for the text

It was like it was meant to be. I wrote it up and checked the number of words. 500, exactly the maximum number for letters to the editor.

Beef or Fish?

September 1, 2007 by Lauren 5 Comments

Nick and the  Bee

There’s a tiny little town a few miles north of here called Bee.  It has two main claims to fame.  The first is that in 2004 Paul Perry bicycled from A, Norway to Bee, Nebraska.  (‘From A to B’ – you can read about it here.  Brad, Beth and I went to see his arrival.)  The second is that every Friday the little bar in town serves a fish plate.  People from all over love to go to Bee for fish.  (Say it fast.)  You big city folks would just pee your pants to eat in this place.  The food is great, but the decor is astonishing.  From the Christmas lights up year-round to the carpeting on the walls, it’s just a sight to see.  We had the honor of sitting by the furnace room/janitor’s closet, that had no walls.  Yes, that’s one of our chairs in the picture.  We’re that close.

Mmmmm..... chemically

Such luxurious.....  walls

Fun with Flickr.com

July 22, 2007 by Lloyd 10 Comments

Beth Marshall said we should upload pictures for our High School Reunion Site to Flicker. It’s a good way to share photos, because they are easy to upload and search, and you can comment on the pictures that everyone puts there. Neat stuff.

Well, I found some pictures of Seward sitting on our hard drive today, and I thought I would put them on Flickr too. While I was doing that I noticed that you could also say where the photos were taken, and after that I wondered if anyone else had uploaded pictures from Seward…

(click me)
(Click on the picture to go to the live map)

Those of you in Seward should, of course, upload your own pictures.

Oh the carnage

July 5, 2007 by Lloyd 3 Comments

Oh say can you see

by the dawn's early light

what so proudly we hailed

at the twilight's last gleaming

I didn’t actually take any pictures that turned out this nicely (I only had my phone). But I took a lot of pictures, and these are each several of those combined.

P.S. There are a couple of photos added below, and for some other great shots – go to Brad’s site.

What firemen do when there's no fire. 

After sun, the square, barbeque and funnel cakes. 

Getting ready for the parade. 

Guess who made it back into town?  Hi, Tim!
