Looking for a way. Plus Bob and Owen

Popcorn for dinner two nights in a row. I SWEAR, I will NOT eat popcorn for dinner tonight. I have shrimp coming from Cheese & Crackers. I will fix shrimp and use my microgreens and edible flowers if it fucking kills me. I'm struggling a bit, as we all are. I'm sad and frustrated. I … Continue reading Looking for a way.

Random Notes from the Sheltering Life

From the Champaign Central yearbook. My baby gets best male hair. Our pride knoweth no bounds. Quinoa chips are pretty damn good. Chemo brain is real. I miss my friends. I miss our house concerts. I miss live music. I miss driving. I miss staying in hotels. I miss wandering. BUT, my baby got best … Continue reading Random Notes from the Sheltering Life

A bit of whining and two good things

We ordered Papa Del's last night. And YES, that's twice in a week or something like that. I got the wrong pizza for the second time in a row too, but this time I liked the mistake better than what I ordered. If I can't do meat, the pepperoncini adds a nice little spiciness. Ok, … Continue reading A bit of whining and two good things

Buy Me a Coffee

Big news from the homefront. Our beloved Leo and Tal made it official! 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.
