Rambling down Route 66

            Joe and I have talked about driving Route 66 for the last year or so...we have seen the beginning of Route 66 in Chicago and last September on our way to Mexico we stayed in LA overnight and saw the end of Route 66 on the Santa Monica pier...

            We have been collecting books and maps for the last few weeks...

 

   
            Living in Minnesota means that we have to drive quite a few hours to pick up Route 66...we are not going to be starting at the beginning in Chicago...we have decided to head south to Springfield Missouri...spend the night in Springfield and then start our Route 66 adventure...we are planning on getting as far as Arizona...no fixed plans...stop when we see something of interest...eat in mom and pop diners...and see something of the back roads of America...

            I am hoping to keep a photo account of our trip...if Joe stops long enough in any one place so I can take photos...once he is on the road he likes to keep going...

            We are leaving tomorrow morning Friday 21st...wish us luck...we may need it...

          

           

A Ramble around Kansas City

Valentines week Joe and I decided to go to Kansas City for a couple of days...

We are not gamblers but stayed at Harrah's Casino because it was convenient

                                  Kansas City skyline from the hotel parking lot

   I used to work for Hallmark...always wanted to visit the Hallmark Center

                                                       Hallmark visitors center

Look who we ran into...which one is the crabby one

 

                                         Bar-B-Q ribs at Fiorella's Jack Stack

                                              Tried the local beer at Jack Stacks

                                           Saw this free show at Harrah's Casino

But this is the show I really wanted to see

 

Our next ramble will be Route 66 from Springfield Missouri to somewhere in Arizona

Back to Blogging...My Next New Hobby

             Anyone that knows me and knows me well knows that I love to garden...last year I made some new flower beds and got lots of new plants started...this year I want to start plants from seed...Joe bought me this little greenhouse for Valentines Day...

 

                                                         I had to put it together

here is the finished greenhouse

 

hopefully the weather will eventually get better so that I can try growing my plants from seed
