While my husband and his friend biked Missouri’s Kady Trail, I drove the car, stopping for photos, historical spots, even wine tasting. In Rocheport, I found antique stores (lots of antique stores), a wonderful history museum, and Mulberry Grill and Bakery, with an outdoor pizza oven and possibly the best pizza I’ve ever had, even including Italy. (Yes, I waited for the cyclists before having lunch.) But as it was very hot and humid, I did indulge in some delicious ice cream in a little air-conditioned restaurant while I waited for them to arrive. On what might be considered the main street, I came across this sweet ride with some great doors front and back. Road trip, anyone?

Speaking of road trips, I’ll be working all day today, then up at 2:30 am for a 3 am cab to the airport preparatory to a long weekend trip to Philadelphia. (I feel sleepy just thinking about it!) I won’t have much online time there, so please excuse my absence from viewing and commenting. On the bright side, I was randomly chosen for TSA pre-check, a wonderful blessing that means shoes stay on, etc. and I should get right through the security line.
This, that and the other thing 
I love these Thursday Doors, a great idea!
One of my favorite challenges, Georgie.

I like this a lot! Would love to do a road trip in it!
I’d love to see the inside, Aletta.

Be transported to another dimension in this wonderful conveyance. What a great find, Janet.
It’s a unique beauty, that’s for sure, Tish. Wouldn’t you love to see the inside?
janet
Oh yes. Now you’ve got me hankering 🙂
Truly a classic.
So true.
janet
What a lovely find! I love the half door on the back and all the gorgeous detailing that went into this beauty!
Someone put a lot of time and love it to it and it shows.
janet
Safe travels and TSA pre-check is a wonderful thing. 🙂 Love the door on the vehicle.
That door is a beauty, isn’t it? As for the pre-check, I’ve been thinking about investing the money to get it for five years, but just didn’t get around to it before this trip, so I was thrilled to see it on my boarding pass this morning! Now if I can just get it for the trip home as well… 🙂
janet
Such a cool find. Thank you for sharing, Janet!
My pleasure, Amy. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
janet
That is an incredible vehicle!!
I thought so, too! 🙂
janet
Now there’s a different kinda door! 🙂 How pretty and unique.
Must be fun to drive that around.
janet
“Hop on the bus, Gus.” That is quite a rig.
Nice photos, Janet. Have fun in Philly.

“No need to discuss much.” I’ll definitely have fun in Philly, Allan, and I’m sure I’ll take a photo or two. 🙂
janet
Sweet ride indeed. I love that gorgeous split door at the rear. Nice find Janet. Travel safe 🙂
Thanks, Norm. The whole vehicle is simply beautiful, isn’t it?
Lovely capture.
Thanks!
janet
Charming! I do enjoy whimsy in my practicality. What a demonstration of dedication and craftsmanship! 🙂
Someone did some amazing work on this and there certainly plenty of whimsy. 🙂
janet
Such a wonderful great find Janet
It’s a beauty, Raewyn. I’m quite curious as to how the inside looked, but I’m sure it was spectacular.
janet
Very cute! Love the wooden heart.
🙂
janet
That has to be the nicest RV I’ve ever seen! 🙂
Not the size of an RV, but maybe a mini-RV. Certainly has a lot more charm and anyone driving behind it can see over or around. 🙂
janet
Oh what a find – these are beautiful – but they may be heavy, because it’s wood!
I don’t know if it’s heavy, but it’s certainly beautiful.
janet
OMG! A modern day Gypsy Caravan! I LOVE IT! I love the carving, and stained glass windows! Road trip. I’m in! 🙂
I love TSA Pre! However the last flight I took the TSA Pre line was longer and slower than the regular line! I’m thinking that was b/c it was a MAJOR airport…I hope that was it and that’s not going to be the normal until HMS gets the axe or gets it’s stuff together. I vote for the axe.
Hopefully flying will get to be less of a hassle soon. I’d feel better if I felt that it was doing any good, but as people who work at airports aren’t screened each time they come in, what’s the point? Anyway, I’m hoping my line will be short and/or go quickly and I’m ready to enjoy the long weekend.
janet
I hope you have a fabulous long week-end!
Thanks. It’s off to a great start.
janet
love this modern “gypsy” wagon!
I’d drive it!
janet
That is so cool!
Wouldn’t it be fun to drive around?
