Pumpkin Boat

Do not know if the football team is going to be any good this year or not.  Even if they are not, Nebraska is still a leader!  You may not have heard, we lead the world in sea-worthy gourds!

Love the story!  Where else would someone attempt such a feat?  Where else would someone have a “cement pond” in the backyard for research and development?

That has me thinking. . . . All these years I have been waiting to get a boat.  Maybe I just need to plant a garden?!

Anyone got some magic beans?

All this time my kids were carving boats in pumpkins! We could have been making boats out of them!
