The Plague, Day 151.....

I can finally stay awake since my surgery so JR and I took a road trip and had a wonderful day!!! 

We took out this afternoon for the Hebron Lutheran Church, but made a quick stop in Lehigh KS first. It is east of here. I visited there before and there were some people buried in the cemetery that had a family name. I just knew we were related but when I got home, could not find them. Then recently I viewed a cousin's family tree. And there were those names. So went back today and took photos of all the graves. Very good.

We drove in to Burdick KS. They have a great butcher there but I had no way to keep the meat cold. Next time. After Burdick we drove through Lost Springs KS. There is an abandoned church there I love. I have heard it is being worked on. I hope so. So I took several photos of it.

Next stop was Ramona KS. I had never been there. A nice town. Then went through Gypsum KS and on to Lindsborg KS.

Supper was at Jalisco's. Great to see almost all my friends there! Been a loong time! And had not had Mexican food. Just as we were leaving JS came in the back door and yelled at me. He is now working part time next door to me. But I never see him. He welds. I will stay away.

I will describe the photos I am sharing.

Early Lindsborg KS firemen. A couple look familiar.

1915. High school building. When I went there it was grades 5 through 8. Torn down now.

An old mill. We had 2 of them. The other one still exists and is fully restored. This one is gone. Around 1915.

This was the main building called Old Main at our college, Bethany College. Was the tallest building around for many years. But a committee decided to tear it down. It was a tragic loss. And they were sorry later but sorry does not cut it.

Years ago the stores in my town gave out coins when shopping you could use on  your next purchase. I think I might have one of each but every so often a new one turns up. D. Johnson was an early citizen that had a large department store.

Sunset tonight. Fires and smoke from Colorado makes our sunsets extra red. I should have not gone home and took photos of it.

Post eye surgery. New glasses from the internet and no makeup. I never go without makeup but I cannot wear any for 2 weeks. An app put make up on me!!
