Bluebird

Bluebird

This is the first bluebird I’ve ever seen in the yard. The picture isn’t particularly clear but I was flabbergasted when I recognized it because generally they’re seen only in open areas.

From Valdez, Alaska

St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church

We took this picture in Valdez, Alaska on one of our trips. In real life, this is a combination of 2 pictures; the ”lift thine eyes”  sign was to the right of the church name and  rather accurately describes the climate.

So what the heck is a loose meat sandwich?

DSCF7482

We first started coming across Maid-Rite restaurants on our trip in May as we followed US 20 east. A little research revealed that they were famous for loose-meat sandwiches which I’ve heard described as sloppy joes without the sloppy.

We zipped by the Big T Maid-Rite on the Lincoln Highway in Toledo, Iowa, on our October trip. I remember we were wondering if we’d run across any candidates in Iowa, but I guess we just missed Hillary when she pulled in here.
