The Party Bus was chugging right along on the way to Iowa when SandraLynn   made a wrong turn in Dubuque. She wasn’t paying any attention and the next thing we knew we were driving through a cornfield! WakeUpAndLive  got on her apps and tried to find the nearest paved street. SandraLynn could have sworn she saw a ghost, jerked the wheel and the next thing we knew, we were driving the bases on the Field of Dreams! Kevin Costner yelled at us. Princess Megan Rose   didn’t mind. She waved at him, and he waved back. Between WakeUpAndLive , Lyn's a Witchy Woman  and SandraLynn they got back on the freeway and we made it to Eldon an hour later, where the American Gothic house stood. Let me tell you, that house is kinda small. We pig piled in for a selfie that Krista  took for her Instagram page. Sung'manitu  found a pair of coveralls (something that the Kyles gave us before we left them) and he stood in front of the house holding a pitchfork. Then we all took turns with him recreating the famous painting by Grant Wood with Krista snapping away. I think she’s going to make a scrapbook of all our adventures. Wood really got around. He was born in Iowa, studied in Minneapolis, and then went to France to finish his studies. He returned to Iowa and was a jack of all trades to include a portrait painter were he took inspiration from real life. If you ask me, the dude in the American Gothic picture looks like Chuck Grassley, but that’s just me. Afterwards, we visited Chief Wapello’s memorial park. It was a profound visit. Maybe Kevin Costner will direct a movie about the Chief? I’d go watch. After a dinner, the Party Bus was back on the road and since SandraLynn was tired, AmyJo-July 2/3s done  took over driving – Kansas bound! |
