29 Weeks and Around Our Towns

 I may be slightly obsessed with this little girl....

 She is growing faster than this Momma knows what to do with. She's sitting up on her own now, for the most part. She pays attention to EVERYTHING. Maybe even too much? Sleeping is not her favorite thing in the world, I bet she just doesn't want to miss anything. But 15-20 minute naps are just not enough for me to get much done though, so I would really like to see some longer naps outta this girl.

We have been seeing a lot of Southern Iowa. We are getting ready for you visitors! We want to show you guys a good time so we are researching our area for fun things to do and see, along with checking out the best places to eat. If you were THINKING about coming out this year... STOP THINKING. Come on out. We miss our people and we would love the company. :)

This was the National Balloon Museum - it was ... a museum. 

For those of you who Iowa just doesn't do it for... here's a taste of our towns. Since "our town" Lineville, only has a gas station, a shady restaurant  and a suspicious number of fire works work shops - we go to the surrounding towns quite a bit, so they are "ours" as well. The below is Corydon. Locals say it core-dun. 

ROW 1: The library and dollar store, the movie theater (open only Fri, Sat and Sunday- each day for only one showing at 6:30)

ROW 2: Scenes from around town, I'm not sure about that sign that claims this was the spot of a Jesse James robbery... I'll have to investigate further and report back later.
ROW 3: CLIO. Clio is the town closest to us, we live in Lineville, but Clio is closest. Clio has one business open on it's Main Street, (see the bottom right photo) the Hardware store. Home of very expensive dog food and dusty tools. Just outside of town is the red church shown below. We went last Sunday and liked it well enough, so we plan on attending this church. There were about 35 people there according to the sunday school attendance board and about 60 people call this their home church.
