SALUTATIONS

You know that’s just a fancy way of saying Hello.

Lucy

Yes, I am Spider Princess this year.  I don’t have Samhainophobia, for sure.  I love all Halloween things: ghosts, witches, spiders, cats, bats, and vampires.  Well, I’ll have to rethink cats.  Anyway, HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Lucy

Brother had a spa day yesterday and it was dark so Mom postponed his pictures until later today.

Lucy

Meanwhile, hope your Halloween is filled with treats. ~ Lucy

Ghosts of Halloween Past

Halloween is just a day away.  Remember our Halloweens of yore.  Here is our first Halloween back in 2012(pre IPhone).  I was a Lucyfer and Brother was a sailor.  He looked so pitiful in the pictures that Mom refused to post them.

Our second Halloween, we were on a camping trip in Arkansas.  Mom, discouraged by our first Halloween costume reactions, opted for us wearing our orange harnesses in the spirit of the day.

Indy

By 2014, I was Halloween ready.  Brother not so much.  I was a cute little skeleton and Brother was a sad little bat, pitiful really.

Lucy

Mom kept wracking her brain to find something comfortable for Brother.  She decided that since he tolerated his harness, a vest might be the answer.  Of course, mine had a tutu attached.

We have had several holiday harnesses since then.  Tomorrow look for a couple of….well, see you on Halloween. ~ Indy and Lucy

Mom always looks forward to the St. Louis Scottish Terrier Rescue Auction each year.  She knows the girls who work tirelessly for this organization and she supports their efforts whenever possible.  You can read all about them at http://www.stlouisscottierescue.com

This is a picture of them from the Scottie Rally in Door County except that Cyndi Bender is not in it.  Sorry, Cyndi.  Any way, you can find the auction on Facebook under search for Friends Of STLSTR Benefit Auction.  Here are some different items available when the auction begins Nov. 4.

STLSTR

Totally love this hat knitted by our friend, Wanda Dipple.

STLSTR

Donated by our friend, Ling Chua, is a custom portrait of your pet by artist Elena Adams.  Not to worry; portraits by Valeria Moldovan and Kate Wood are also available.

STLSTR

How cool is this desk lamp.

This Scottie Welcome sign though…..

STLSTR

Many kinds of collectibles are available.  Starting bids do vary as well as whether or not international shipping is available, sometimes it is cost prohibitive or the item is too fragile.  However, it can usually be done if the buyer wants to pay shipping.  Anyway, you are sure to find something you want or if you are like Mom you have to narrow it down to the top three or something.  BOL.  Happy Bidding. ~ Indy and Lucy

The Journey Home

26 Wednesday Oct 2016

Posted by indyandlucy in Fall, Road Trip

≈ 18 Comments

We are home.  The slow internet and difficulty in uploading photos finally did Mom in.  We are pretty sure she used up her limit and patience as well.  ATT was not the service of choice in the north so any correspondence here and on FB was a trying task at best.  Here’s what happened after Dubuque.

Mississippi in LeClaire

Continuing to follow The Great River Road, we reached another destination: Le Claire, Iowa.  We again visited Antique Archaeology, home to the television show, American Pickers.  While we have never seen any of them, we do enjoy the past revisited.

Pickers in LeClaire

Antique Archaeology

We went on the Lock and Dam #14 to check out eagles and met up with Le Claire friend, Connie Kroger, and Scotties:  Maggie and Annie.

Connie, Maggie and Annie

Kansas was our next on the list.  This is the KCMO skyline driving to Shawnee, KS.

Kanas City, KS

Where Gordon and Gillis Lauber along with pawrents, Mary and Larry live.  Mary had Mom a birthday lunch( yes, she had her birthday on the road) and we had fun in the back yard.

Gordon and Gillis Lauber

That’s Gordon and Gillis.

Indy and Lucy at the Lauber's

This is us on the table.  BOL!  It was a short but great visit.

Gillis Lauber

See the Scottie( Gillis, we think) in the window saying bye. 🙂   Finally: Oklahoma

Route 66, Oklahoma

On Route 66, we dropped in on The Blue Whale.  What an icon.  It used to be a swimming place back in the day.

Indy and Lucy, Route 66, Blue Whale

It has much more character than the waterslides of today.  Simpler times.

Thanks for traveling along on our adventures.  Here’s to:  Keeping It Simple.  ~Indy and Lucy

Life on the Mississippi

As the sun rose on Dubuque, we set out to explore the Mississippi river towns of Galena and Guttenburg, one in IL and the other in Iowa.  First stop: Galena, IL.

Galena, IL

It a quaint town with a narrow main street lined with shops of all kinds.  It reminds me of Eureka Springs, AR without the steep hills.  This is the real reason for our visit, however.

Grant's home

The home/museum of the 18th President of the United States, Ulysses S Grant.  We went on to follow the Great River Road north to Guttenburg, IA which we didn’t see yesterday because of the missed turn in Prairie du Chien.

Mississippi barges at Guttenburg, Iowa

We had a picnic on the banks and watched the barges ferry their goods up and down the river.

We are tired pups tonight.  See ya tomorrow. ~ Indy and Lucy

What a day!  We left Lacrosse and struck out for the Great River Road.

Road Trip

We learned about Chief Win-no-shik, a notable chief of he Winnebagos, trains tooted their horns for us,

Train along the Mississippi

and we saw barges making their way down the Mississippi.

Mississippi Barge

  We stopped at a little town named Lynxville.

Lynxville

Here at the Dawg House, Mom and Dad had some fish and chips while we watched 15 or more bald eagles fly across the river to the bluffs behind us. It was the treat of the day.  We missed the turn at Prairie du Chien so we continued on to Dubuque, IA.  Our loft is in the refurbished warehouse/mill area of Dubuque.  It is pretty cool.

Dubuque

The window overlooks the town.

Lucy

The floors are concrete and a lot of the walls are brick.

We ran all over the place exploring.

We are staying here a couple of days.  No tellin what’s tomorrow. ~ Indy and Lucy

The Looong Road Home

Door County

Door County was clothed in its finest as we left.  We traveled to Green Bay and went west following Highway 29 across the top of the state.  It was a pretty route fraught with farms and barns with barn quilt patterns.

Barn Quilts

Our friend, Michele Bronsky, suggested we stop at a place called Nueske’s and we are sooo glad we did.

Wisconsin

We opened the car door and smelled bacon.  The cherry wood smoked was the favorite as were the brats and root beer for the road.

Nueske's

Wittenberg

A neat pit stop, and then we were off.

Indy and Lucy

We followed the Great River Road down the side of the state:  Mississippi River on one side and bluffs on the other.

We spent the night in Lacrosse, Wisconsin on one of the Mississippi River Canals.

We are bringing our fall adventure in Door County to a close.  It is only fitting that we end with a spin around Peninsula Park.

We have switched to our blue cottage in Fish Creek.  We will be staying here a few days till we start our drive home.

Java Hut

We began our day with  spa treatments at Pet Pleasures in Sister Bay.  We then went on a drive to see the countryside colors.  They are practically at peak.
