ISN'T IT PECULIAR, PECULIAR MISSOURI THAT IS

We left Limon, Colorado in the early morning hours and was greeted once again with a beautiful sunrise. What a way to start your day!

In fact the day would turn out perfect, just read on. We found a Super Wal-Mart just 107 miles down the road. It was time to stock the shelves again in our pantry so off shopping we went. An hour later and $150.00 less in our checking account we were happily on our way again.

Now the best part of the day, a mere 37 more miles down the road from the Wal-Mart we found a STARBUCKS, yes starbucks at a truck stop in Colby, Kansas. Can you see the joy in my face getting my iced venti latte for the first time in over a week?

Or the pure delight on the face of Craig as he enjoys his Mocha and chocolate scone.

After enjoying our little treat, we had some miles to get down under us to make it to our destination for the night. Kansas was nothing but corn fields for as far as the eye could see, or camera eye as the case may be.

Now I am starting to make a list of places we need to go see, but the 6 legged steer and two headed rattlesnake at a roadside freak show was not on my list to the disappointment of Craig. But the Stover candy factory and tour and the Oz Museum were put on my list for our return trip.

Which leads us now to the title of this entry, tonight we are staying in Peculiar, Missouri where as the town folks say, "the odds are with you". Now I don't really plan on staying around town that long to find out, so we'll just quietly park our truck, get some sleep and sneak out before anyone knows we are here.
