Before embarking on this odyssey, I used to think of ‘taking a Sunday drive’ as a short leisurely jaunt through country roads. Today’s Sunday drive from Lawrence, Kansas to Des Moines, Iowa probably took me about six hours of highway driving (with breaks). Oh well.
My B & B hosts for the evening, Jane and James, were very charming. Jane is a retired “Reading Recovery” teacher and James is a semi-retired architect. They live in a beautiful home, designed by James, in downtown Des Moines. Their house is surrounded by wooded forests and the backyard is often frequented by visiting deer.
