Our favorite 'drive-in diner' is Bob's! Home of all natural casing dogs (or as grand-daughter Bailey calls them - "Crunchy Hot Dogs") it is a family favorite! With a short drive to LeMars we can have dinner and dessert - both within just a few city blocks of each other! I'm getting hungry just thinking about Bob's!
The actual "small town living" story has to do with the railroad crossing that bisects the city. While in LeMars...we had to wait for a train. This is how you deal with a LONG train...you just get out of your car and go talk with a neighbor...
Life in the slow lane...it suits me just fine!
And now it is card time! Still trying to use up my square card remnants! Here is another "coin card" (also trying to use up the mountainous amount of 'coin envelopes' I have).

Nancy, I was laughing at the railroad crossing and getting out of cars to talk to the neighbor! We do the same thing in the little town we live in!!! Sometimes it takes forever for the trains to finally make it through town - and what better time to visit with someone you know! I bet Bob's is good too! Yummy, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteLove your pretty card. The colors are just gorgeous - so classy looking! Beautiful!
