Adi is posing with her aunt and uncle for a goodbye picture. We enjoyed staying with Lois and Jim (my sister and bro-in-law). You have seen most of our local tours. From August 2, 2006 post,
James, Reflections and/or Street/Candid Captures: Seems I might have posted before. Not sure where is located but feel it's close to our home, southwest of our home. Sorry 'bout that.

.Adi is posing with her aunt and uncle for a goodbye picture. We enjoyed staying with Lois and Jim (my sister and bro-in-law). You have seen most of our local tours. From August 2, 2006 post,
Starts with "N": Now soon I need to see my sister, haven't seen or visited with her, other that messages on the cell phone for probably nine years when she came here. Next should be my turn.
But I may have waited too long, the ladies in my life think I am too old at 90 to drive that far anymore. Southwest is having a $39 per flight sale now close like Memphis, $80 to Iowa where Lois lives. But I wouldn't drive straight through all the way one, up or down, but would and stop and see/visit my cousin in Arkansas who is a couple of years later than my age.
A Favorite: New Driver of my latest Antique? Car that I got back in 2000 for my retirement present. I would retire in 2001. This is our younger granddaughter, now a high school freshman.

For Tom, "Nice": Nice to know information, especially for us along the Gulf of Mexico coast.

National Motorcycle Museum — MidWeek Blues — Jim's motorscooter
This Easy Rider Chopper is in the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa, Iowa, the home of the artist, Grant Wood. While in Iowa in October, I went there with my sister Lois and BIL, Jim W, and his Brother Jack and his wife Mary Lou.
We didn't pay to go in. Rather we looked around through the 'teaser' windows, one of which is shown here, and then to the gift shop.
We ended up not spending any money at all there. The rest rooms were free which is a good thing for travelers. At the other end of the paved lot was a McDonald's where we did spend some money.
My driving license has a motorcycle endorsement. I renewed it for another six years in October too. The endorsement was an extra $2.00 but it will save me money and headaches if and when I get another bike. My license is good for another six years. I can renew once more with just an eye exam. After that it will be harder for me due to my age. I will be 93 on that birthday.
The pictures below (click on any for a larger size) are also from the museum except for the one on the lower right. It shows three of my toy cars and my toy Vespa motorscooter. If I had not have had that one I would have bought one of the cute little ones, shown in the upper right, from the gift shop. Next time I may buy one anyway.

Back when I was in the Army our second car was a 1956 Vespa Scooter. I bought it new from Sears, branded as an Allstate. All of the 1956 Sears models were a light army green color. I literally wore that scooter out. We lived in El Paso (Texas) where the weather is perfect for cycles and scooters year round just as it is here in the Houston area.
It did get it moved to New Hampshire by my civilian employer. The movers said I should take it and that they would call it a lawn mower so there would not be any problems. Up there it had to sit under a canvas most of the winter time. Snow and ice are pretty treacherous for two wheelers.
This accident story is from a previous post, January 31, 2009:
One of the worst woman drivers I have ever known lived in El Paso. She ran a stop sign right in front of my Vespa motor scooter. I was riding it down a main thorough-fare, she was on a side street.

We were not traveling too awfully fast, each well within the speed limit. She just didn't stop.
I ended up on the hood of her car. Both of my knees were sore for a long time but nothing was broken. The scooter needed quite a bit of repair. It turned out she did not have insurance for anything except collision (covered her own car). She had just purchased this Pontiac new and that is all the dealer sold her.
She did fuss at me for being on the street. Then she said not only did I not have a right to be there but that I was traveling without any lights on. The policeman told her that yes, I did have my lights on. When I pushed it out of the middle of the intersection the lights tried to come on until I took it out of gear.

Chocolate Pie Turnover — MidWeek Blues — the "Iowa Way"
.
As you can tell, I'm back from Iowa and have started to catch up with my blogging craziness cravings.
I have been staying with my sister, Lois, who lives in Iowa. I rode up with her and hubby, Jim, a week ago Monday and then flew back yesterday courtesy of Delta Airlines and my savings account.
Mrs. Jim stayed home this time. She had the pets with her though, Adi, Katrin, and Amber
Lois is a very nice host (link to prior blog about her taking Mrs. Jim and me to Joensy's, picture below, left, of her eating a pork tenderloin sandwich--she treated me there again this time!). We certainly didn't hurt for food while I was there.
Her brother-and-sister-in-law, John/Jack and Mary Lou also came to visit us on Wednesday. Mary Lou had made and brought the most delicious butternut squash pie I have eaten. Well, it was the first one also but it was really good. When she brought it in we thought it was my favorite vegetable, pumpkin pie.
Lois had made this chocolate pie and baked an apple crisp cobbler too. After we had eaten generous portions of all three, Lois stacked them in her refrigerator with the chocolate on top. Wouldn't you know it fell out top down onto the floor.
Lois saved the day for us. She carefully scraped the remaining meringue off and with the leftovers during our stay we finished it off with whip cream. Well, we didn't exactly finish off the chocolate pie OR the squash pie.
Mary Lou took both leftover pies home with her.

Flashback Friday # 16 ~ My boyhood family
I'm visiting my sister in Center Point, Iowa, this week.
Today we went for a look-around visit.
WHAT TOWN DID WE VISIT?
Today we went for a look-around visit.
WHAT TOWN DID WE VISIT?
Hints: Pictures are from a museum, an institution, and a low water crossing (also known as an Irish bridge).
Answer will be in the first comment of mine.
Answer will be in the first comment of mine.
All about our early family structure is what Linda wants from us this week. Linda asked several questions about us and our parents. Click her icon, right, if you want to read others or participate in this.How was your family structured when you were growing up? Did you grow up with both original parents in the home? If your parents divorced, did you go back and forth between them? Whether divorced or widowed, did your parent remarry? How old were you?
I was very fortunate to have both of my parents living together with our family for my entire time at home. There hadn't been a divorce in our family for a long time. I think mine was the first in generations.
Was yours a multi-generational household with grandparents living with you?
My grandparents lived about a half mile away and they owned the farm that we lived on and farmed on the share crop system of rent. It was a small farm.
When I was small Mom and I would drive to Grandma's home every Monday to wash. Grandpa was always checking in on my parents to make sure they were doing a good job of parenting. Grandpa made my mother tape my ears back so they wouldn't stick out so far. He also brought us items of furniture that we didn't have but needed.
On holidays my Uncles' families and ours would all go to Grandpa and Grandma's for a noon holiday meal. It was pot luck but Grandma always made the main meat dish. I remember too, her scalloped oysters. I have never has as good as she cooked those oysters since.
Did your mom work outside the home, and if so, was it full-time or part-time?
Mom helped on the farm. She took care of the chickens, both the growing ones and the egg laying hens. The egg management was also her job. Mom and Dad and us kids all helped with the garden.
Was there a clearly delineated division of labor between your parents (or parent and step-parent) and how traditional was it?
Mom did all the household tasks including the cooking and cleaning and washing of clothes. Dad took care of the chores although Mom sometimes helped with that. Then Dad did the fieldwork and managed the equipment and the cars.
Did your parents believe in child labor?! That is, how structured were chores? What responsibility, if any, did you have for things like doing your own laundry, fixing your own school lunch, etc.?
My sister and I had chores. Mine were mostly helping with Dad's work while Lois's was with Mom's. Mom did our care taking items such as washing clothing and school lunches. She also kept our clothing in proper repair, such as hemming skirts and pants and patching of holes.
Were your parents do-it-yourself-ers or did they hire people for repairs, painting, etc.?
We very seldom needed a professional to come help with the homestead maintenance. Dad did most it although Mom was also handy with the tools. Dad also maintained the cars and other equipment both for farming and our living. He did tasks from putting new soles on our shoes to welding a broken bicycle.
Is your current marriage/family structure similar to the way you were raised? What do you do differently than you did then?
We don't live on a farm now so some tasks are much different. But Mrs. Jim is generally in charge of the cooking and other household tasks. I take care of the house, the cars, and the lawn. But we help each other. Especially now that we are retired. For example I keep the floors in good shape by vacuuming and polishing. Mrs. Jim mops any that need that, which would be the entrance hall and the bathrooms.

Have you had your car read lately? #011 -- The little car that did
This is a wonderful two-owner car! It has over 233,000 miles on it and is still running top notch. Nothing was ever done to the engine or transmission except to replace some belts and dip-phugolator.
More interesting is the history of this car. It now belongs to a young college student from Illinois.
Before that it belonged to his grandfather who supported a family of eight kids and his sister. He rented a small farm of 80 acres which was always planted with corn and oats.
These grains he fed his cows, chickens, pigs, and feeder cattle. Most of the animals furnished food for the family either in produce or in their sacrifice as meat. Grandpa did have a large garden. The surplus produce and slaughter animals were sold to purchase family items which required cash.
As the family grew up and left home there was not one left to help with the farm. Grandpa did not have a tractor and all but one of his horses had died. So then he rented only the house and surrounding yards and the garden.
He won this new car at a poker game which was very fortunate for all of them. Now he could get a paper route to help support the two children still at home and the sister. The paper route was quite prosperous and provided ample income for those left at the home place.
Finally grandpa became bedridden and could no longer do the paper route. He was now all alone with the two kids gone and his sister had died. Who would take care of him?
The alert grandson saw what was happening to his now ragtag grandfather who had to spend most of his days in bed. Twice a week the oldest daughter who worked seven days a week would come in and leave food by the bed, wash grandpa's clothes and bedding, help him bathe, and visit for the entire day. She also repaired the car when as it needed.
Now this grandson approached his grandfather. "If you would let me use your car to do your paper route then your money problems would be over" he announced.
Quickly things transpired, the grandson ran the paper route, it grew even past its former number of subscribers, and financially things were in the black again.
The grandfather said, "son, you could live here with me and save yourself a lot of money to help with your school." This arrangement worked well. To the surprise of everyone, with the grandson now living there in the home, grandpa became able to get up and no longer be bedridden. He could pretty well take care of himself and even helped some in the garden.
Grandpa gave ownership of the car to the grandson. He charged no rent and gave the grandson whatever amount he needed for support and college. This arrangement worked well for eight years until grandpa died. The grandson was taking good care of the car so it would last many, many, more years. Rumors are that even a new puppy was found in the little household.
Those eight years are still hazy but things did work out.
Things will be more clear with history's report.
What will happen now remains to be seen.
We were seeing the actors and missing our play. It is currently playing in theatres near you.

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.

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.

The Jim Bunch Eats (and eats) in Iowa
.Generally the breakfast at Lois' was a fresh baked pastry, a poached egg (Karen and I like 'yolks hard'), and a drink.
Seated are Jim, Karen, and Jim W.(brother-in-law). On the table were blueberry muffins, eggs were just finishing up with their cooking.
.
At the Ox Yoke we ate off the 'lunch menu' I had a plate of ribs, as did Lois and Karen.
.
The Ox Yoke Inn Restaurant has been here since 1840. Nice going, they serve wonderful food.
.
.
.What you don't see besides the ribs is all you can eat family style: cottage cheese; sauerkraut; mashed potatoes; gravy; and green beans. Afterwards some opted for coconut cream pie chosen from about a dozen different desserts.
.
When we were finished Lois suggested to Karen that she should see the women's rest room as it was different from most. So they both went while the men watched their purses.
[Jim W. didn't want to go with me, I didn't even ask him. You ought to try that sometime, ask a man to go the rest room with you. You will get some very strange looks. It just isn't a man thing to do.]
Upon leaving the men's room I asked Karen to come. She came to the hall, then I asked her to check to see if the ladies' room was empty so I could look at the pretties in there.
She said 'no way' and was leaving. Another lady overheard and said she would do it for me. Nobody was in there so I peeked in. It was elegant, lots of blue marble tile around the stalls and all.
I forgot to take a picture so you all can't see. The men's room was drab, Karen wouldn't even look in the door as a boy was leaving.
Had I taken the picture it would have been a candidate for my upcoming blog, toilets of the world. Ox Yoke Inn Restaurant Review Ox Yoke Inn Restaurant Reviews Family Reviews Food and Drink Reviews Food and Drink Iowa Humor Family

What is lady laughing about? or, The Jim Bunch Eats Again
. That's my sister, Lois. She is about to attempt to eat this whole sandwich.
Don't they feed pretty good here in these Iowa prisons?
Shown with Lois is a pork tenderloin sandwich from Joensy's in Center Point, Iowa!
I could only eat half of mine but it was sooooo good I really wanted to eat the whole thing too.
.
.This is Karen after eating half a pork tenderloin sandwich.
Please note the ornaments on this tree,
they are pig shaped.
.
Joensy's Restaurant is located in Center Pont, Iowa. Their pork tenderloin sandwiches are the best I've had.
Lois (sister) says you can order them on a plate with mashed potatoes and white gravey too.
Maybe next time I'll have them that way for less calories because I will skip the bread. Joensy's Restaurant Joensy's review Joensy's Joensy's Restaurant review review Food and Drink Jim Bunch Life Humor Photos

A Nice Castle Anyone?
.Well, here I am at the Center Point Travel Plaza again. I was getting gas when I took this picture. Premium, our car drinks that, has gone up another nickel to $3.04. Yesterday it was $2.99.
It is $3.13 over in Cedar Rapids at the same type stations. I wonder if this new truck stop/travel plaza is trying a WalMart thing with the locals? The free wireless is nice, and the only one in town.
.
. Yesterday was a nice tour of the Cedar Rapids area of Iowa. Bro-in-law, Jim, did the driving.
Our first stop was Stone City. They had two large quarries with a lot of cut out rectangular stones laying around. All of them were a darkish brownish beige color.
Originally most of the houses were made of these stones also, but now mostly just the older homes were stone. A few trendy new ones were too.
Next stop was Anamosa. Lois wanted to show us the castle. She has always like houses with turrets at the corners, so this was what I had envisioned. This one looked pretty elegant.
.
.
Not so. Here is a quick look. Doesn't it look grand! Upon a drive-by inspection, it seemed like a fun place to live. The stones were all from Stone City.
Some of you might know, but this really is a prison; the Anamosa State Prison. Lois didn't know how it might be for escapes, but it looked pretty solid to me. Not a place I would like to be in for keeps.
Those stones? All were hand set by prison labor back in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
.
.
This pretty building was once the woman's residence. They have since moved to other quarters here in the compound. Looks like a stately sorority house, doesn't it?
.
.Next was the state park adjoining Anamosa. It was all very pretty, sort of rustic. Like the little mouse who only saw the mouse under the queen's chair, I was seeing this pretty Wapsipinicon River bottom corn field. Texas corn doesn't get much taller than this.
Tonight will be the Jim Bunch Eats Again. Jim (bro-in-law) is grilling hamburgers and nephew and greats are coming over. I think Mrs. Nephew won't be able to make it. Perhaps I'll take a picture for us.

Family Fun Night in Center Point (IA) . . . . . . . . . . The Jim Bunch Eats Some More
.
On the left is Mrs. Jim getting ready to check her e-mail and visiting with my sister, Lois. We are at the Center Point, Iowa, Travel Plaza. Mrs. Jim is waiting for her computer to lock onto the wireless, Lois is watching me uplink a picture for the blog.
With a little encouragement, she might become a blog owner/writer. Her most significant question was how hard is it to get a picture uploaded to a blog. Second on the list is how long does it take to learn how to do it. All easy stuff, when it all works.
.
.
I tolk a few of you I would soon be eating sweet corn, i.e. roasting ears, either in Illinois or Iowa. Well, here the corn ears are in Iowa.
Lois cooked up five ears, one for each of us and then an extra. We also had brats (brother-in-law, Jim cooked them outside on the grill), potato salad, cole slaw, and lemon pie. Drinks varried, I had pink lemonade.
Lois was full of questions today. Her suppertime question was "how do I like to eat my roasting ears?"
.
.
Of course there are only two practical answers to that question. Around and around (round and round) and up and down.
It turns out that Lois eats hers round and round, I eat mine up and down the ear.
I think Mom ate hers round and round while Dad ate his up and down. Maybe it is a male female thing? Mrs. Jim eats hers up and down the ear, so that wipes that male female stuff out.
How do you eat yours. Any good reasons? [I just like the way I do it.]
