Amble and Ramble

I have things to say, but my thoughts seem to think we're playing tag. I'm "it" in the middle of a vast field of near conclusions that speed off with a taunting laugh and a kick of dirt. My camera will have to do the talking where words leave off.

The shame of misuse?

The building is too far deteriorated to even consider renovation, but I restore it to it's original glory days in my mind's eye and it's amazing for little Gypsum, Kansas.

These balloons were caught in some wires out in the country.

Speaking of "Up", I highly recommend the movie.

 This sign was spotted outside the Nifty Nuthouse. I stood outside to watch baby Lilyana sleep in her car seat while her folks shopped inside.

I couldn't resist this sweetness:

And as I stood there, some "nut" drove up fast in his Mercedes Benz and parked in front of the "Drive slowly, Nut" sign!
