We spent the night in McCook, Nebraska on our second night out. We enjoyed a thunderstorm that rolled into town about the same time we did. Dinner was at the Taste of Texas BBQ and was really good. Friday morning we took off towards Laramie. When we got to Sterling, Colorado, we saw the following …

Road Trip – Day 2, Part 2, Thursday, July 17
This is one of the first “volunteer” sunflowers we saw along the side of the road. Note the bee on this sunflower–he is covered in pollen. Doesn’t this sunflower have a neat pattern in the center? Some people live a long way off the paved road. And the paved road is a two lane road …

Road Trip – Day 2, Thursday, July 17
After spending the night at our usual hotel–Ramada–in St. Joe, we ate breakfast at Shirley’s Dinner Bell in Troy, Kansas. We saw this church in Kansas and liked the way it looked. Another neat building we saw. Note the safe outside on the sidewalk. Guess there was nothing in it! We saw this truck for …
Road Trip – Day 1, Wednesday, July 16
Not much to see or talk about from our first day on the road. The first day, from Atlanta to St. Joseph, MO, is always the hardest and longest. As we were driving over Monteagle (just north of Chattanooga) we looked

Mother Nature’s Son

I’m Looking Through You
We ate our first tomato from the garden last night. It was so yummy! Unfortunately, it was a fairly small tomato so we didn’t get much. I’m dreaming of tomato and bacon sandwiches–can’t wait! I got my new camera strap. It is so cute! It actually matches a pair of Tevas that I have. Won’t …
I Feel Fine
Here’s the view from the deck. It has been absolutely beautiful here, although we could use some rain. JC, Cathy, Brenda and Dave (JC’s sister and brother-in-law) came up on Saturday. We had a nice time visiting with them. After they left on Sunday, Tommy and I were pretty lazy.Yesterday, we went up on the …
