Missouri River


Friday 2/13/2015
My 11 am appointment (interview) did not happen, so Marley and I were off for a little more site seeing today.

Our first stop was the Katy Trail along the Missouri River.  It was bitterly cold but we managed to walk a little bit and check out the scenery.  We couldn't stay long since my fingers were frozen even with gloves on.

Katy Trail
It was a little over cast, but we still managed to walk a bit on the Katy Trail and along the Missouri River.

We tried to make our way down to the bank but it was a little bit rocky and we both did not want to fall into the icy water.
Very Peaceful.
After the short jaunt, we jumped in the car and headed East.  It was a beautiful drive, and it was good to see some open farm land along the way.  The road circled around and we ended up heading west.

I stumbled upon a place called Faust Park and there was a butterfly exhibit, a carousel and a small village of old homes.
Butterfly sculpture outside the exhibt. Kind of a spooky face!

The Seed House in the old village.

It was a beautiful afternoon with plenty of sunshine, so we spent the rest of the afternoon walking the neighborhood.  Marley hunting squirrels and me contemplating life and my journey.  It really is a good idea to just wander around and get a little perspective on what's important.
Blessed be.

Notes: Sorry about the lack of pictures.  It's hard to take pictures with frozen fingers!
