I love the the crosses on their backs.
Many summers, my mother and I made drives like this, from Iowa to Nebraska, saw fields and farms like this. Tom drove us — past farmland you forget about when you’re somewhere else.

Omaha’s Old Market never disappoints.
On cue, the seagulls appeared as the blessing began.
