Remember Baxter Springs two years ago? My friend, Linda, has a house smack dab on Route 66. My 2009 Fall Ramble wove its way through that familiar and friendly territory. It was fun to catch up with her and her animal menagerie (cats now number 7).
This time something is new ---- and old! Sue Gast, Sue Ramage, and Kathie Larson bought a 19th century building and completely redid it to house their restaurant: Angels on the Route. If you just happen to wander through someday ---- STOP! And stop hungry. They advertise their specialties as coffee, soups, sandwiches, candy, and frozen custard.
Not being a coffee connoisseur, I skipped that one, going straight to the soup (potato chowder) and sandwich (reuben on marbled rye). Thankfully, I didn't leave without the frozen custard...just heavenly.
These newcomers to Route 66 have made their mark.
I longed for a Corvette, but just being in this town, and enjoying the afternoon conversation break before heading on to Liberty, MO, was delightful.
Life's sweet surprises are so tasty. If you don't get in a hurry on the way from A to B, some wonderful experiences await. The Cruiser and I know "no hurry" is the best way for us.
And, a rousing few verses of "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning!" sung loudly as we traveled through Oklahoma weren't bad, either. The Cruiser is most patient and seems to actually enjoy my screeching.
