When you have a great boss like I do, it's pretty easy to get up and greet the day. I love to start my drive with a nice cuppa from the local Kwik Star. I take mine with half cinnamon coffee and half Pumpkin Pie Spice cappuccino. Even better yet when the Kwik Star has sample goodies cause those don't count when I'm counting calories.
First stop today was in Reinbeck. Pulled into the town and the first thing I notice is this pretty church with beautiful windows. It was one of those mornings where the sky is a brilliant blue.
Nice way to greet the good folks who stop in Reinbeck. And I suppose after church the folk might like to head downtown for some food and drink.
Next stop along the way was Traer. Again, what a treat. The downtown area looks like time stopped in the 50's. Love the spiral staircase.
Ut oh.....busted!!
On to Tama, but first a stop in Toledo. Umm, I am hungry and stop at my very favorite place. 'Big T' for a Maid-Rite. Who could resist? That's a loose meat sami for those of you who don't know. Nice little diner with a friendly waitress. Those samis are usually huge so I ordered a mini with fries and mayo. Served with a smile!
Sat next to a gentleman and chatted about what I was doing out in the parking lot. He was curious if I was 'texting' a secret message. Nope, I explained I was using my phone to take a picture of the diner.
Happen to pick up this interesting piece of literature while I was finishing my lunch. Notice how the town sheriff spent is day. Glad my boss doesn't want that kind of detail.
Now that my tummy is happy I get back in my car for another stop along the way. This time I am headed to Garwin. Never been there but looking forward to it.
Ut oh, how did I get here? Car must have been on auto. Oh well, what's another few hundred thousand.
Finally reach Garwin, but with just a little jingle in my pocket. Not quite 70 Prince St., NY,NY, but quaint nonetheless. Love the brickwork. And right next door to the library,too. Another favorite.
Nightcap, anyone?
