Stopped at a cool prairie reserve in Iowa–Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge. Beautiful prairie lands with bison and elk living there. They had the children book I wrote about bison in their gift shop. 🙂

Since the weather was looking iffy, we left a day early for our Thanksgiving travels to Missouri. Staying in a hotel with a pool in Iowa. Miss G cashed out after a good swim.

Yesterday (Nov. 22) would’ve been my mom’s 70th birthday. We spent time with family, eating good food, telling stories, and ending with some home movies using this projector from when my dad was a kid.
