I'm Still Here!

 

Hi! Hello! Howdee  do!
As stated in the title for
this post, I am still here
and I hope you are too!

School began on the 8th
and I have been running
crazy ever since!  It has
not been the smoothest of
starts unfortunately. Hope
it smooths out soon. Last
week, I was out with an
Achilles tendon issue,
bought some new tennies
and that colored sport tape.
Wrapped my foot the rest of
the week. It is getting better.

What else is going on here,
we have been enjoying some
awesome sunsets as seen above.


Yesterday we went to a Senior
men's baseball game. It was
called The Babe Ruth Classic
1920's style.


A Kansas City based men's team
split into two teams Kansas City


Blues and Minnesota Millerand played in the classic.
Some of the players on each
team wore "old school" 
uniforms.

It was hot out but we found a
spot in the shade.


This morning we hopped in the car
and headed here.


Apples, several varieties and peaches
were available for the pickin'.



 
 


These were the main reason for our trip.
Honeycrisp apples!
Not the only thing we picked up though:
Peaches
Cherries
Chow Chow
Horseradish Pickles
Parmesan  Salad Dressing
Carmel Dip

Great trip!

We will resume Vacation posts next time.

~Keep on Dreaming~

Our Trip East

 

Hello!
I have been MIA getting things tied up
and other things organized so I could
return to school knowing that I got
some things accomplished this summer.
Another post on that soon.




 Last week I gave you a sneak peek of our
vacation. So we left Kansas and headed
North on I-35 towards Des Moines, Iowa.
Stopped for lunch here. Great food and a
fun atmosphere. After lunch we got back
on the road and headed East on I-80.


We made an unplanned stop here. Now,
I ask you: "Who could pass up stopping
at a place with this title? "Well, not us!!
They are not kidding, this place is HUGE!
Two floors of retail and food the third
floor was for the truck drivers to find
some respite from the road.
We had soooo much fun here plus it
was good to get out and move around.
 
 
Here are more pictures of the delightful
storm we drove through in La Salle, 
Illinois.



Mr. Ken loved it but a bit worried, of
course he didn't tell me that until we
drove out from under it.
 
 
FRIGHTING!!!!

 

Waiting for the train to go into THE
WINDY CITY.

 
Pictures of the big city. The L.

 
Signs, signs everywhere signs.



 Solider Field, home the Chicago Bears.
We are riding in a cab, so I had to take
the pic FAST!!! : )


One of the awesome views of the city.

Stay tuned another vacay post coming
soon.
