Our family is strung out from Texas across Oklahoma and into Kansas, my native state. Nobody wants to visit us at Fargo in winter&#8211;go figure. So this time of year we drive south to spend Christmas in Texas, then work our way north for New Year&#8217;s in Kansas. This involves a deer hunt in Barton County just before heading home. Angie the History Dog and Willa the Book Beagle are with us&#8211;they are great travelers, especially Angie. Tonight we&#8217;re at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arbordayfarm.org\/\">Lied Lodge<\/a>, Nebraska City, our favorite port of call on the Missouri River. We got here later than we hoped, but in time to have a splendid supper in the lounge and to spend some time writing and editing in the lobby before the massive stone fireplace. The Ladies are sleeping in the truck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We never really leave work behind, but on this expedition, it defers to family and restorative time. Tomorrow we drive on to Fort Worth. I&#8217;m doing most of the driving so far, as Dr. K is on the rebound from cataract surgery this week (which seems to have been successful, thanks).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blessed holidays to all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Night 1 of the annual Christmas expedition.
