What I'm Reading This Week #20
Howdy do punkin' poos? I hope you had a delightful week of blissful productivity at work (aka hanging on by the frays of your well bitten fingernails whilst saying you need to win the lottery but never actually playing.) A birthday shout out to my grandma. You know, even though she would've been 86, and I know the probability is she would be gone now, it still doesn't stop me wondering how long she would've made it if dementia hadn't reared up. I could really use one of her hugs or her hands cupping my face with that ornery little grin saying I was her first grandbaby. Happy birthday grandma. I hope you and mom have a big euchre game going on tonight. We've been slowly integrating back into walking this week as the Mr could handle. Last night he was able to do two laps without having to stop to stretch so that is good news.

Since you took Wall Drug, which was a cheesy tourist trap indeed and also so worth a stop - I pick the corn palace. It's actually really neat to see. I have no idea why they do it that way but it is neat - and a bit corny of course.
ReplyDeleteI've been to Wall Drug - summer of 1977 - the signs were better than the actual place - LOL Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo is kinda weird. A group of "artists" back in 1974 took the time to "plant" ten old Cadillacs in a field...
ReplyDeleteThe Jolly Green Giant Statue in Blue Earth, MN or the world's largest strawberry in Strawberry Point, Iowa
ReplyDeleteI've been to Wall Drug as well. I remember my mother telling me she refused to go there because of all the advertising that she'd see for miles when she was traveling through the state. LOL I have a vague memory of the largest ball of twine or rubber bands, but I can't remember specifics.
