This is Katie and I at the Alice in Wonderland statue by the library in Carthage
Here is Jack and I cut poor Katie off! LOL!
A wonderful old barn behind our motel. I can imagine when it was new what an awesome barn it was!
Roses at our favorite chinese restaurant in Joplin. Joplin is only about 10 miles from Carthage.
And water lillies too!
This is the Carthage courthouse. They say only the arch in St. Louis is photographed more in the state. Let me tell you it is huge and impressive. There is a great mural inside and an antique, working elevator! We didn't have a chance to go inside.
Giant praying hands in Webb City which is on the way to Joplin. They are huge!
Look at little Miss Bug sporting her new halter and a toy she picked out all by herself!
So that is the first part of the pictures. Next time I will share some pictures of some glorious homes including Marlin Perkins birthplace! Plenty more to come and a little history lesson to and something funny that happened.

Thanks for sharing the lovely photos :) Thanks for your prayers and encouragements. Take care!
I've been in the arch, but I've never been to Carthage. (We lived in Knob Noster and then in Warrensburg nearer to KC). I love seeing the pics!
