Ruby (Red) Tuesday -- Iowa has some red
Iowa describes itself as being "WHERE THE EXCITEMENT BEGINS."
I don't really believe that one bit, I haven't found much to get excited about there.
Iowa does have a couple of things going for it, my SISTER lives in Iowa (north of Cedar Rapids) and there is some RED around there to be found for this blog.
.
We had some really good food at the Ox Yoke Inn there in Amana. I've blogged about that before, check here if you dare see the Jim Bunch Eating there
Above are Mrs. Jim, BIL, Jim, and Sister, Lois. We had just finished eating. That day we even had desert, I had coconut meringue pie.

Lois (My sister) lives in Center Point, Iowa. I like this travel plaza, it is about a half mile from her home. We can go there and buy a Senior Diet Coke for a quarter at the McDonald's and then we can use the free WiFi at the plaza for as long as we want. We do eat if we stay through lunch or supper time.
Hint, Lois has dial-up. She is the only person in her county who does not have high speed. Like Mrs. Jim and I are one of three families in Montgomery County (Texas) who still use an antenna to get our TV.

Dad lived his last couple of years in a nursing home at Hiawatha, Iowa. The ladies auxiliary group made these colorful toys and were selling them to help with the activities and facilities.

The next three pictures were taken at Amana, Iowa. At one of the shops--they love tourists--these tractors were for sale. I buy mine at Tractor Supply here in Texas, they are a lot cheaper. Dad had a Farmall Super M as his last tractor while he was farming. Dad also had a toy Super M like this one, I have it now.

This was in an antique store at Amana. Mom had one of these to grade her chicken eggs before putting them in the cartons to sell. I have hers now as well as the tractor.

The rules are simple:
On Tuesdays you can post any photo you like (it must be one of your own) that contains the color RED.
Your photo can contain lots of RED or a little bit of RED
AND (please) post your link here with MaryT
I will might post a NEW Ruby Tuesday each some Tuesdays.

Have you had your car read lately? #004a -- Christian Art Car
This Friday feature (Oh, I know, it's Sunday already!) for JIM'S LITTLE BLOG helps me tackle the blogging problem of writer's blahs. So my advice is "when you don't feel like writing anything, post a picture." That's what is happening here.**
.15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
From "The Sermon on the Mountain," Matthew 5:15-16 (NIV)

Ok, what do we see here?
About all I will say about the fellow (the owner may be a girl, you know!) is that he/she sure is not ashamed to let his light shine!
