SUNDAY MORNING...
NANCY AND DENNIS...
ON THE ROAD AGAIN...
TO MONTICELLO "CAMP COURAGEOUS"  OMELET BREAKFAST
AND BACK

                                                 GREAT SAUSAGE

                            MY "HAM AND CHEESE" IS ON OTHER SIDE OF PAN

                    VOLUNTEERS FEED THOUSANDS IN SPRING AND FALL
                    I DIDN'T SEE CHARLIE BUT I'M SURE HE WAS THERE

AFTER BREAKFAST, PEOPLE STROLLED THE GROUNDS.   SOME TOOK TRAIN
RIDE.   SOME LISTENED TO MUSIC IN ONE OF THE MANY BUILDINGS.   SOME
LOOKED OVER THE NEWEST PROJECT....BUILDING THEIR OWN LAKE.

ON THE WAY HOME, WE STOPPED OFF AT CANTON AND NEXT DOOR WILDWOOD ACRES.

WILDWOOD ACRES IS GETTING A NEW HOME, WITH THE LAKE IN BACK.
WILDWOOD IS A PRIVATE HOLDING RUN BY AN ASSOCIATION OF PROPERTY
OWNERS.    HAS A CLUBHOUSE, SWIMMING POOL AND TENNIS COURTS.

JACKSON COUNTY, LIKE NEW YORK CITY, HAS A "5TH AVENUE"....RIGHT ON THE EAST EDGE OF CANTON

A NEW BUSINESS IN CANTON, JACKSON COUNTY, A PLACE TO RENT A PARTY BUS.  I SAW 4 OR 5 ON THE LOT.

THIS STONE CHURCH IS AT SOUTH EDGE OF CANTON AND FUNDS ARE BEING
RAISED TO DO SOME NEEDED WORK ON IT.

CANTON IS A MAQUOKETA RIVER TOWN, WITH LOTS OF FISH.    SO, NO SURPRISE WHEN I SAW THIS CANTON  MAILBOX.

AND HERE IS THE BEAUTIFUL MAQUOKETA RIVER LOOKING SOUTH OUT
OF CANTON. 

NOT ALL OF JACKSON COUNTY IS PRETTY.   WE HAVE SEVERAL OLD CAR
GRAVEYARDS.

JUST NORTH OF MONMOUTH, IS THE HUGE BUSINESS, "FRANZEN USED
TRACTORS AND COMBINES AND PARTS", OWNED BY MIKE FRANZEN AND FAMILY.    HERE IS A SHOT OF JUST SOME OF THE OLD COMBINES ON HAND.   A COUPLE OF THOSE WILL ENTERTAIN US AT THE COUNTY FAIR AGAIN THIS
JULY, RACING.      JUST OPPOSITE OF THIS PICTURE, THE OFFICE AND SHOP FOR THE BUSINESS.    AND..ON HIGHWAY 64 JUST WEST OF MONMOUTH, IS THE FRANZEN NEW TRACTOR STORE.    AND JUST EAST OF MONMOUTH ON 64 IS THE  SITE FOR SEVERAL MACHINERY AUCTIONS EACH YEAR.  

GOLFERS ON THE MAQUOKETA COUNTRY CLUB COURSE.

NOT A LOT OF FARMERS OUT IN THE FIELD, BUT DID SEE SOME.    THE FIELDS WILL BE A BUSY PLACE THIS WEEK

AS ALWAYS...CLICK-ON ALL OF THE ABOVE PHOTOS TO ENLARGE THEM.

TODAY WAS MAQUOKETA'S NICEST SPRING DAY SO FAR.

AND GLAD TO REPORT, THE OPENING WEEKEND AT THE DRIVE-IN THEATRE
WENT WELL....91 CARS LAST NIGHT....VERY GOOD FOR APRIL.

HAVE A GOOD WEEK!!
