This morning I let the GPS choose where we had breakfast.

They saved money by building a short counter top, but lost it all when they had to special order the short bar stools!

We ate next door since Blondie's was closed till she returns from Germany

We drove 43 miles out of our way so Sherm would not break his string of having gone to Wal-Mart at least once a day for the last 27 years!

I like the idea of keeping a little of the old with a lot of the new.

St. Clair has both hot and cold water towers. The hot side is fed but 13 acres of hot water solar collectors.

There are tourist traps the entire length of Route 66 from Santa Monica Pier in CA to Illinois.

I don't think this is an Amish farm, but it does have one of their popular Hex Signs.

Regardless, it was a beautiful and apparently well managed place.

A flea market on Route 66 that has endured for 31 years.

We decided to eat at the first place we found on Route 66 for lunch/dinner

We both had excellent meals, and I believe we will return........especially since I want to try what he had.

It is a shame that the many businesses along the route have been lost because of the rerouting of the highway. These were nice places at one time.
