July 13, 2023

This rollercoaster never ends. Although I guess when it ends, well, it really ends so perhaps I shouldn't complain. I'm here sitting in my corner and my baby is at Carle. I hate not being there with him but I just couldn't manage my legs this morning and I'm sore and achy from falling yesterday. … Continue reading July 13, 2023

Buster and the Hard Stuff

It's been a hell of a week. I put the photo of the best moment at the top of this post. Cosmic Charlie and Carrie Chandler (two thirds of Carrie Sue and the Woodburners). They were wonderful and did my heart SO much good. We wholeheartedly recommend them. Long live the mighty Rosebowl. OK, here … Continue reading Buster and the Hard Stuff

In which I have chip regrets and ponder Johansen and Lightfoot

I beg you, do not EVER let me eat horseradish cheddar cheese potato chips again because as delicious as they were (I love horseradish) they almost killed me. Ok, that's a bit extreme but they really knocked me and my stomach out for a good day or so. Who is to blame for this? Why, … Continue reading In which I have chip regrets and ponder Johansen and Lightfoot

Buy Me a Coffee

I miss this little guy. It's hard to believe he's going to be 24 in a few weeks. He still has that expression quite often. #neon #neonsigns #everything_signage #roadsidearchitecture #diamonds Such a treasure. I always plan to stop and eat but I never do. However, I never feel guilty as it's always packed. I love the Elks lodges that have elks poking out of them! The Manske-Niemann farm, on old Route 66 just outside Litchfield, Illinois. Stunningly intact early farm. I'm a wimp about trespassing so my pictures aren't great, but DAMN, what a gorgeous property. I know it's been on the most endangered list of @landmarksillinois. Crossed fingers that it will be protected somehow in the future. 🤞🤞🤞 #route66 #highways #oldroads #wander A little bit off Route 66 left in southern Illinois. Blue skies make nice pictures but give me a good gray sky any day. #route66 #illinois #september I found myself utterly smitten with with this little building. You think I could have a little antique shop in there? I know, I know, I'd make a fortune selling 19th century glass.😊 #roanoke #everything_signs #neon #eat I love it when my boys travel because they bring home new sign pictures. They are the best. Oh man, we ALL need a Melody Haven. Thank you @leo_smworks for the pic. ❤️ We've been sticking pretty close to home so no roadside pictures. We did however have a blowout finale to our house concerts with the brilliant Jon Byrd and Paul Niehaus. An incredible evening of love and friends and food and sad, sad songs. more of beautiful Belle Plaine, Iowa I swear I never get a good picture of this motel. There's something that always makes me want to get out of there, which doesn't lead to great photography. Oh, well. Next time maybe! As much as I tried, I just couldn't will those cars out of the way. You really can't beat a big arrow. Generally, I'm an #OddFellows girl, but I do have a major soft spot for these little #Masonic signs. Maybe it's because they look like #Christmas decorations to me? I did get the urge to see @indianajones shortly after this visit. My beloved Lincoln Highway, and MAN was Belle Plaine, Iowa named correctly. A few more shots of the Top Hat Lounge. ❤️🎩 #tophatlounge #dancing #fortdodge #iowa #facade #signage #everythingsignage We were driving toward Pocahontas but saw a sign that sent us down some gravel roads to find the location of the first Pocahontas courthouse. A charming little neon water faucet just off the Lincoln Highway ❤️ We had a lovely night at the Pocahontas Inn and were happy to be welcomes by Pocahontas herself. #fried This church tugs at my heart. It's in a tiny little town, in fact the same town as the vine covered building a few posts back.. You can see it seemingly forever as you drive toward the town. Ernie and Owen sent to a VW swap meet over the weekend. I gotta say, I can't help but be cheered looking at these bugs. Ok, ok, it's a really awkward photo. I guess I was just trying to use negative space. That, or it was the only angle from the car. Can't win them all. Get real action. 7up your thirst away. Eh, not my favorite slogan 7up, but you look good.
