A Day With Lydia

Lydia stayed overnight soon after we were back in MO in early October. We "camped out". We roasted hot dogs & marshmallows, and then spent the night in the camper.

The next day we all went sightseeing in Jefferson City. The building on the left is the Lohman building. I can't remember the name of the building on the right. A section of the lower level of it is now the Amtrak station (don't get me started on what a rathole Amtrak is for taxpayers) 😊

 The Lohman building was a general store and hotel. The river used to come near (maybe less than one hundred feet) to the front of both of these buildings. It is now on the other side of the railroad tracks. The building called Jefferson Landing Historic is the Lohman building.

 The Lohman building was a general store and hotel.

 This building also used to be a hotel.

 Inside the lower level of the Lohman building is "general store", many paintings and photographs and a small theater.

 Then we walked up to see the fountain. If you look close in the satellite photo you can see a small ellipse on the left side, that is the fountain.

 My great-granddaughter is so cute.

 Looking out at the track and the river from the back of the fountain area.

 The bridge is one of the two bridges entering/exiting Jefferson City from the north.

This stone was presented to the State of Missouri by the Fraternal Order of Eagles on June 28, 1958. It is a wonder that we haven't had some out-of-state nutcase file a lawsuit over it. It is amazing that liberal have become so much smarter than people were 50 years ago. From the 1960's clear back to the founding of our nation we were just to ignorant to understand that it was illegal to display Scripture in public areas. 

I will try to do a little better and get some more photos up in a few days.

God is good, may He bless you and yours. I regularly fail to be the man He would have me be, the one I strive to be, yet every day He forgives me and I can start a new day with a clean slate, once again trying to be more Christlike. None of us will ever achieve that goal here on Earth, but if we all (those of us who call ourselves Christians) worked at it a little harder things here could be so much better.
