Definately Feel Loved!

We have been extra busy the last several weeks so I will get 

you caught up in the next couple of blogs.

It was wonderful visiting friends and family in Des Moines, Iowa!

We ate at several of our favorite restaurants,
some more than once, while catching up on what
 has been happening since we left.

Two family reunions, doctor and dentist appointments, and the
solar eclipse just to name a few of the things that happened
 in August. We stayed at Jester Park and Bob Shetler
Campground at Saylorville Lake which is close to Camp Dodge.

One afternoon we visited the Iowa Gold Star Military Museum
on the base with our friend Rich. A small but nicely laid
out museum covering WWI – current conflicts. Inside they
 even have a Huey Helicopter and tank!

Iowa sweet corn was something we ate about every
 other day. Yummy! I froze some to bring back to Arizona along
with ten pounds of Graziano sausage, which is Scott’s favorite.

 Duane and Sue hosted a Going Away party in September
 and we were overwhelmed with love. It was very hard to leave.
Miss you guys!
I am sorry that we couldn’t see everyone!

After visiting family in Kansas City, we stopped in
Broken Arrow, Oklahoma for a couple of days 

to see our friends Dale & Nelda. They head up the
Tulsa Cruise Night and every Tuesday over 200 cars
converge in the parking lot for fun and prizes.
Lots of classic cars and friendly people.

Check it out when you are in the area.

One of Scott’s dream cars. 

1963 Corvette Sting Ray 

Pure beauty!

 A true classic American muscle car!

Scott had a 1966 Nova like this when he was a teenager. 

Another goal that was accomplished on this trip was
a visit to the Woody Guthrie Center in Tulsa. 

I like this quote since I just started learning 

how to play guitar.

We were amazed at how many of his instruments

 were on display.

Cool lightening.

Scott dressed for just this occasion with 

his Alice’s Restaurant shirt.

Handwritten Lyrics of "This Land is Your Land".

Look closely because it was originally written as

 "God Blessed America for Me". 

We spent two hours reading, watching videos, and listening to
audio clips at the many stations placed around the center.

"They Laid Jesus Christ in His Grave"

Woody’s art work.

If you are in the Tulsa area, it is worth your time to visit the 

center to learn more about this music icon and his influence

 on other musicians and the world.

"Love is the only medicine I believe in. "
