The QMY Model A Scooter Is Fun, Well Made, & One Of The Best!

We had our first snow fall in our part of Illinois, and I wasn’t expecting it! I was surprised by a few inches of snow this morning when I woke up. It will all melt soon, and looks like we might get a little more in the next few days to take its place. https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck3exoYLodn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We’ve really enjoyed our walks lately…lots of beautiful trees and leaves to look at. (at Trec Trail) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkQ9G3KLV-X/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Not a fan of spiders, but these orb weaver/zipper spiders were out in force the other day, and they are kind of fascinating. From a distance. https://www.instagram.com/p/CioKs5JLLch/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Pretty sure Tom is dreaming about his next nap. Cat life is good. https://www.instagram.com/p/Ciks6IaLssp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

No filter needed. Beautiful without any help, at the Japanese Festival, Missouri Botanical Garden. (at Missouri Botanical Garden) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiVKgVdLkge/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Donna wasn’t too happy when she saw the giant spider and its web! The patio now belongs to the spider. https://www.instagram.com/p/CiTJO68OSXd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Homewood Grill offers a lot of great things, including good advice on how not to go extinct. https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch5D5eOLBPR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The corn is growing fast lately - the rain and the heat have done their job. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg2dDSRu2ws/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Brick Bride. Brick Groom better show up soon. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg1o-p5L29z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Saw these guys wandering aimlessly in the Target parking lot. Seen this before…geese never remember where they parked their car. In the second picture, one of them came over, described their ride, and asked me if I could help them look for it since I was “so tall”.

Spotted a lonely looking McDonald’s drink out in the wild…it probably wandered off from someone’s lunch. Or maybe somebody just littered. Littering is dumb…Don’t Be Dumb. #DBD https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfmk7kvu-lq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Another Homewood Grill “Tip Quip”…love these! BTW, this was our 21st trip of the 2022 season. And I didn’t tip anywhere near $10. (at Homewood Grill) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce7fzViLzAT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’ve been lucky enough to ride horses many times in my life, mainly thanks to my Aunt and Uncle who always seemed to have at least a couple. I’m still fascinated by these beautiful animals. https://www.instagram.com/p/CeuC7jnugLf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Gpa definitely got the worst end of the squirt gun fight! But the grandson was pretty wet when it was all over too! https://www.instagram.com/p/Ceo4-MvuKSy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Frank took a second out from drinking his water to stop and say, “You know, I am one good lookin’ cat!” Yes, Frank, that you are, even if you do say so yourself. https://www.instagram.com/p/CeH-7h-Lc3G/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Have to post a picture ever once in a while of my wife’s display of yellow in our front yard…looks great! https://www.instagram.com/p/CeCqXcgrcru/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
