Across the Wide Missouri


WOW!! That IS an awesome view!!
I had actually never seen it in daylight!! *lol*
You can see across the river to Kansas.

This was the start of our "Show Me St. Joe" tour. From here, we drove past our old childhood homes ...............Dewey St....Main St....2nd St...
We went by homes of other friends in our old neighborhood, too.......passing our grade school...(yes...we can sing the song...
"Above an Indian burial ground...there stands Humboldt safe and sound"...)
Our high school...
("Hail to thee our dear old Lafayette. We shall sing of thee..")
We called out names of other old friends and aquaintances as we passed by each street....
"Linda Mullins lived there.....Gloria Magana lived right up that street..... Gary Swope lived somewhere along here.........Didn't Herbie Norton live there?".....
Patty could remember most of the names and houses, and Pam and I recalled a few others as we slowly drove along ...pointing to the yards... shouting their names and smiling as we remembered another old friend...
