A Trip Down the Road

Li’lBit and I loaded up in the truck this AM and headed to the Casino in Tama for fuel – it is considerably cheaper there and since I was just about running on fumes, it was a nice savings.

Since we were over in the Tama/Toledo area and it was about lunch time, stopped at a local grocery and picked up a sandwich, some chips and a soda. Took the lunch and went to the little park down the road. The sandwich was wonderful – egg salad with lots of dill and pickles – just like I like it. And it was on a very chewy bun made of fry bread – YUMMY! Li’lBit and I both enjoyed it!

The park was near the Lincoln Highway Bridge historical marker….more really interesting info on the Lincoln Highway!

On the way back home, we followed the old Lincoln Highway until I lost the markers – but drove on just like I knew where I was going – and darn if I didn’t end up back in familiar territory.

Stopped at the vegetable stand and pick up some “peaches and cream” sweet corn – it’s soooo good I can eat it raw! Also picked up a few juicy peaches….oh, how I love fresh produce.

It’s a windy day here – not to warm – 83 degrees but with the wind/breeze, it is quite comfortable. Winds are sustained over 15 mph with gusts in the 20 mph range.

Because of the wind, I’m not taking Tinga outside today….took her out yesterday and she is soooo quiet (initially!) – then she decides to call out to all of the other birds in the area. What a clown she is when outside.

I am concerned about her – she is plucking again. I’m going to have to pay more attention to when she does this – I’m wondering if it is seasonal or hormonal. Well, let’s keep our fingers crossed that she stops soon! At least she doesn’t pluck naked – she gets down to the downy fluff and quits – moves to another area. Darn Her!!!

Plan to go to the Junction Bar & Grill with my sister tonite. Their soup and sandwich special for today is lamb stew and pastrami sandwich.
