Finding a Jewel

Ernie and I went for a long drive in the country today.  We just didn't feel like doing anything we should have done.  Let's blame it on the warm weather, shall we?  For some strange reason it seems we've never been to Deland, Illinois.  I was utterly charmed.     We stopped in an antique … Continue reading Finding a Jewel

Join me on a new journey. ❤ Delightful motel sign in Fairview Heights, east of St. Louis. Some nice remnants of Route 66 in the area. #bestcherrycoke #chuckwagon #signs #vintagesigns #everything_signage I know it's this size for the nearby highway but somehow I feel like it's this big just for those of us next to it. Can you imagine how exciting it would have been to go to dinner? I miss old storefronts. They are disappearing. 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.
