Welcome to Breakfast in America

My photo journal is an eclectic mix of things; there’s no guiding theme or topic. It is whatever happens to catch my attention, what I’ve been thinking, doing, and whatever my current obsessions are. At the moment, they are clearing some of the backlog on my ‘honey-do’ list, backpacking and hammock camping.

    We were staying at the cottage this past weekend, so I wasn’t expecting to be returning here anytime soon. But Jim needed some tests done in Springfield (all okay) and wouldn’t be able to drive home. I volunteered to drive, and now here I am!

    I’ll drive them back to Springfield tomorrow for another appointment, and they’ll be able to get themselves home from there.

    I took a break from looking at all the cool cars to watch some trout fishing below the mill pond.

    Jim invited me to join him in the Ava Hometown Hotrods Festival — 100 Mile Cruise. We arrived yesterday and spent some time with Lanie, who had been visiting her grandparents for a couple of days.

    Jim and I were in his polished and spotless pickup bright and early Saturday. Too early as it turned out, but that was good because it gave us a chance to have a hearty breakfast in Ava before setting out.

    I didn’t try to count how many vehicles took part, but it was a lot!
