Owen and Ernie’s Sunday adventure

Ernie accompanied Owen to a VW swap meet up in St. Charles yesterday. Much fun was had. Hattie was NOT pleased that Ernie was gone for much of the day. I think she was exhausted with relief once she'd reassured herself he was back. Happy Monday.

Random notes: April 12, 2023

You may have noticed a little blue coffee cup popping up every so often. I hope it's not too obnoxious. It's just a simple way to support the blog IF you like. No expectations or obligation whatsoever of course. I think I'm going to finally delete my old site. Hurts a little but a lot … Continue reading Random notes: April 12, 2023

Random Notes and Pictures from the Sandwich Life

I've been too busy this week to even post, and I'm not feeling at all well today, so I fear this will be particularly random. Let's see. 1. Monday, I got home late after a really long day, and Ernie had a dinner of perfectly grilled chicken thighs and salad for me. It ALWAYS tastes … Continue reading Random Notes and Pictures from the Sandwich Life

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.
