Tripping and family meetings

Well after 3+ weeks in OK is was nice to get back to Colorado and cool down a bit.  On the drive back we made a “touristy” stop in western Kansas… I had seen the signs for years about Rays Pharmacy in Quenter.  The signs brag about the old time Soda Fountain.  So we stopped, and took a small detour to see this place…

I am sorry but from the outside it doesn’t look much like and old time Soda Fountain resides here?  But inside you find this…

It’s real and they make just about anything you can think of from an old time Soda Fountain!… Although I would have expected it should have been in one of the other buildings there…

Something like these but it appears they are occupied so it is where it is… also along the main street…

And the Elephant? 

We had lunch there at the DQ… it was ok, priced right but the blizzards were great… why else would you stop at a Dairy Queen?

We got in Tuesday night and have been a bit busy trying to get caught up on mail, bills, etc.  And picking up the Grandsons for a weekend stay, etc…

Today we went to Conifer to meet up with the other members of the BH Ishmael LLC and have a little meeting and of course when our family gathers, food!… The meeting is an excuse for having a food day… so..

one of the guests arriving after we did… had to bring the car to show off… really nice rebuild on that one… although I remember it setting in her dads old shop for ???? years before they finally got all the right pieces and people to work on it…

One of the subjects that was talked about was fishing.  so everyone that could had to show off the fish, some from Alaska, some from the farm ponds, etc… but it just reminds me…
