On The Road Friday ~ Curbside Pickup at the Cameron Library

 Hi Friends,

On the Road Friday posts are when I highlight a place that we have visited. Past posts have been adventures to Wisconsin state parks, our road trip to South Dakota and cross country ski adventures. Today we are going to travel just down the street from my house, to our local library. Our local library is open for curbside pickup. We can order books using the online system or calling our library for help in finding books. When our books are available for pick up, we schedule a curbside pick up.

We return our books in the outdoor book drop.

In June our librarian, Dawn asked if I would spruce up the front entrance. The library may not be open as usual, but it was still open in a new way and she wanted it to have it look "open", she swept down the cobwebs and I created three flower pots.

I created the pots using wave petunias, wandering jew and sedum, they thrived and bloomed all summer long.

I thought I had a photo of the potted plants I did for the library, I guess I do not. You can just see one of the pots in the photo below.

At the end of September I shared with Dawn that we would be happy to decorate the library entrance for Autumn. She loved the idea.

In the meantime, our son needed to swap vehicles with us. He had our Ford Escape, that you can lay the seats down, easily lay corn stalks down  and shut the hatch door.

We got his little Nissian Versa, that does not really have a way to transport corn stalks, unless you decide to get creative.

 

Thankfully, we live only a few blocks from the library. We loaded our son's car with the corn stalks, pumpkins and drove down the street to the library. A little girl riding her bike did a double look, but I am sure she added the sighting of a small car traveling with corn stalks, to the list of crazy things of 2020!

 

 

Using corn stalks, pumpkins, broom corn, and ribbon we created a fun curbside entrance for our local library.

 

Thank you for joining me on this, on the road Friday to the front doors of our local library. Is your local library open? Or are they doing curbside pick up too?

Enjoy the weekend!

Car Show

 This summer we attended our local Car Show. The highlight was a co worker  and friend of my husband had a car at the show. Adding to the fun, my husband has been helping design parts for the car.

 As you can see the car still needs some parts. It is a fun hobby for my husband's friend Brian to hunt for the parts needed to complete the car.

 Below is my husband Jeremy, Brain and his sweetheart Deb.

Deb has the the dark colored car. Brain has the red car.

Let us peek at a few more of the fun cars at the show.

You never know what you might see at a car show!

 I thought this was a fun idea on how to set up your car for show and tell.

And our favorite car! We just loved this Volkswagen.

Do you have a favorite old time car or new car?

I would not mind taking this Mustang for a spin!

One of my grandpa's favorite songs.

 

On the Road Friday ~ A Trip to Kadinger's Salvage and Recycling

We are on the road today, to Barron, Wisconsin.

We will be visiting Kadinger's Salvage and Recycling.

Kadinger's 

September of 2013 we toured Kadinger's for a school field trip.

I learned so much. I was so surprised how much recycling is done with cars and trucks.

Tires in good shape are priced and sold to motorists.

Other tires are retreaded...reducing waste.

Waste oil, drained from vehicles, is re-refined and reused as commercial lubricant or heating oil...saving energy.

Good batteries are sold. While damaged batteries are taken to a battery recycler.

Reuseable parts are cleaned and readied for sale. For example radio, engine, automatic transmission, rotor, windshield, suspension, door, radiator....

What remains of the vehicle is processed to recover valuable metals: iron, steel, aluminum, saving our natural resources.

 This machine has a huge magnet on it.

It was so fun to watch it work.

The boys could not wait for this part.

E-Z CRUSHER

Can you hear my boys yelling "Cool"

  

Already to be recycled.

 As we were walking out from watching the E-Z CRUSHER, my husband spotted this ol' ambulance.

He thought it would make a fun car to do a road trip in.

If you missed my post Wednesday  check out my dream car.

Have a great weekend.

Thank you for coming along today.

Dream Car

 Do you have a dream car?

Is the Chevrolet  Camaro your style?

What color?

Black, Red, Yellow

 Convertible?

Do you like to drive with the top down?

Or maybe the Dodge Challenger?

 My son Atticus, getting excited to drive off in this Red Ford Mustang.

 

 And me sitting in my dream car.

A Ford Mustang has been my dream car.

I love the color black for vehicles. 

A black Ford Mustang for me.

How about you? Do you have a favorite color for a vehicle?

 And what is your dream car?

Duesenberg

If you guessed Duesenberg, you are right! Built in Indiana, United States of America!

Have a great weekend!

What is parked in front of the neighbors? 

 

What is parked in front of the neighbors?

In June I looked out our dinning room window and had to look again! "Wow, look at that car!"

We rushed outside to check it out.

I would love to go for a ride.

A photo next to it will do. :)

Now, can you guess what model or make this car is? Is it an American made car or foreign car?

Give me your best guess.
