Before we left town, we made a quick stop to see my brother’s barn animals and also toured our family farm operations.
Saddle
365.315
My college buddy Brian, his wife Kaitlyn and I drove to South Dakota for the weekend for a 40-hour adventure. It turns out you can stay pretty busy, even in a small town.
– Horseback riding on Sandman and Barney the mule
– Visit to the tri-state area with a loop down Dakota Ave in South Sioux City, Nebraska
– Lunch in Sioux City, Iowa (Amen for Chick-fil-A!)
– A visit to Palmer Candy for their cherry Twin Bing bars, a Midwestern favorite.
– A visit to Vermillion, South Dakota to tour the National Music Museum
– Church and then dinner at Los Amigos, one of two sit down restaurants in my hometown, and some of the best Mexican food north of the border.
Toyland

This music box has been in my childhood bedroom for as long as I can remember. The paint is chipped and hot glue keeps it together, but the music sounds the same as it did when I was a niño. [Click to play Toyland.]
Toyland, toyland
Little girl and boy land
While you dwell within it
You are ever happy there
Childhood joyland
Mystic merry toyland
Once you pass its borders
You can never return again
While you dwell within it
You are ever happy there
Childhood joyland
Mystic merry toyland
Once you pass its borders
You can never return again
For once you pass its borders
You can never return again.

Election Night

Another election season has come and gone. And so have the political TV ads.
Bookstore
365.310
Reading in a corner nook of the bookstore is always most appealing in the winter.
Corks

Wine corks…still debating whether this is a cool decoration or simply evidence of how much wine you’ve drunk.
Lowry Avenue Bridge

This brand new bridge, the Lowry Avenue Bridge, reopened on October 28, 2012 and I photographed it six days later.
