The Superior Express -

Duke found his voice! I’ve heard him bark, playfully, but he is not typically a vocal pup. My friend, Linda, popped in the other day. Like always, she walked on in. I knew she was there, I heard the door, but it caught Duke off guard. When he barked,...

Oh my gosh! The last week has been rough! I told you I had depression and fibromyalgia. Well, I started treatment for depression a couple of weeks ago. It was great at first, I had so much energy, I was waking up in the morning feeling rested, and I...

I need to rant just a bit. I was reading Senator Ricketts weekly column and it brought up a lot of irritation I have with our government. Where in the world do we get all this money we spend on foreign aid? I thought we were broke and in the hole...

It’s been a fairly uneventful week, and I am thankful it was. This little visit from Old Man Winter has me feeling all crummy, achy, stiff and sore. I wish the Nebraska weather would just pick a season and stick with it for a while. A tropical v...

I woke up at five this morning. For most folks that’s a normal day, but for me, well let’s just say it doesn’t happen often. Duke had squeezed his way under our bed and was stuck, so I helped him get unstuck and took him out to potty. He did his b...

By T Looking for things to do nearby this spooky season, I found a few and thoughts I would share. If you’re into haunted houses, but don’t want to travel to the big city, the Chester Community Club puts together a creepy, spooky and fun event. This...

Duke is doing well after staying the better part of last week with the vet. We took him, along with the “thick” credit card last Tuesday. He came home on Friday and is now the happy bouncy puppy I was hoping for. He chews or tries to chew on eve...

When I think of Nelson, two landmarks come to mind, the mansion on the hill and the courthouse. Both of which are in need of some love. The courthouse stands tall on the hill, dwarfing everything around it. The 133-year-old building is a beautiful la...

We hit yet another bump in the road, George had two toenails removed last week, and the doctor plans to remove them all two at a time. He has had problems with his toes since before I met him, they are very sensitive, and he has tried everything in...

On the road again, but unlike Willie, we aren’t having much fun. Another trip to Omaha to see George’s doctor this time. Ever since his surgery, he has felt like he had a lump in his throat, so it was decided he needed to visit his surgeon again. The...

What a wonderful weekend we had. George and I were both down with the flu. To be honest, I still feel pretty crummy. George wasn’t feeling well on Saturday and it hit him hard on Sunday, I wasn’t feeling at my best Saturday, but was hopeful I wou...

I can’t remember much of last week, all I know was that Friday was a busy day. Jacob loaded up the truck and headed out for North Carolina. He had planned to drive straight through but thankfully stopped for the night about halfway. He arrived l...

I am loving this weather! I wish it was like this year-round. Cool mornings and warm afternoons. I know it’s not likely to stay this way for long, so I plan to enjoy as much of it as I can. I almost wish I had the energy and inclination to get back t...

The last week was nuts! We picked up Nicky on Sunday, and his friend Leland was here nearly every day. We had a sleepover planned for Thursday, and had hoped to roast hot dogs and make smores, but got rained out. So instead I cooked the hot dogs on t...

I can’t believe it is August already. Where did summer go? I had so many plans. Oh wait, I know. I worked to make money that was then spent on chasing and feeding the chitlins. LOL! Maybe someday I can work to spend money on me! I really doubt t...

By Teraesa Bruce I’m writing poolside today, which sounds a lot better than it is. The flies and the teenagers are driving me absolutely bonkers. LOL! All summer long, I hear, “I wish I worked at a pool and could tan all day.” It sounds way more...

I don’t know where to begin. It’s been a long week, and it went by so fast it’s a blur. We shuffled the Omaha boys around safely. Robert and his crew are all home safe, and Nicholas gets to stay with us for another week or so, and every one of our v...

This month is going to equal a lot of miles on the Mini Cooper. Friday George and I took our typical little road trip to get the kid but left early to run a few errands in Lincoln and Omaha before picking up Nicholas. The battery in the key fob is...

Running a public swimming pool in a small community can be difficult. Number one it is a costly endeavor. Pool chemicals, and equipment are not cheap. Then add in the cost of running and maintaining that equipment, as well as licensing fees. I have...

I’m writing you from my porch tonight. Yes, I said night. I know, I’m weird. It’s not hot in the house or anything, I just prefer outside to in. I’m all wrapped up in my blankie, with the fan blowing on me because it’s a still night and without the f...

The Nelson pool had a visit from the state inspector on Monday, June 12. We had a couple minor infractions, but all in all we passed with what I consider to be an A minus. We get a write up for water standing by one of the pool ladders, and this...

I thought I was done with the doctor for a while, but unfortunately, I am not. I went to see my doctor. She sent me to see radiology and from there to a surgeon. Now I am scheduled for another procedure completely unrelated to the reason I went to...
