Previews
Had a wonderful day yesterday at the Candy Kitchen in Wilton, IA, and then onto the corn harvest. Rode a combine--those things are awesome!--and shivered in the freezing Iowa wind.
Unfortunately, though I did remember to bring my camera and even take pictures (a miracle), I didn't think to bring the cable I need to hook the camera up to the computer so I can transfer the pictures and use them here. Guess I ought to think about a SIM card.
Live and learn...
The upshot is I won't be giving the details until I get home. 
In the meantime, here's a picture of the Candy Kitchen. And you can read a bit more about it here.

Nice new website. I am eager for your eBooks to be available!

Great, Marcy! You should be able to get a couple of e-books now. Just check the schedule. So glad the publisher finally got them out.
I am listening to a very important football game as I am visiting here and right now my favored team is behind. Come on Cougars!
That Candy Kitchen looks like such an inviting place. If I were any place nearby, I would be a customer.
some phones offer bluetooth sending so if your computer dosent have bluetooth you might be able to send it through internet to a photosite. I often send pictures straight to flickr.com
Iowa, Nebraska and and Kansas are very long to drive through if you're heading to Wyoming or Colorado and only want to get to the mountains. The monotony of the corn gets to you after a while.
Gladys, hope those Cougars won! And yes, I'd be 100 pounds heavier if the Candy Kitchen was nearby.
Thanks for the tip, Kolbrun. Not sure about the blue tooth thing. My laptop is several years old--ancient by computer standards, I guess, do probably isn't compatible. And I still have to get those pictures from my camera. But I'm home now, so all is well. Will be updating in a moment or two.
I drove through western Illinois and Indiana, Susan, so I hear you about the corn. But for me it's also kind of exotic because its so different from the landscapes I know. I find myself wondering what it's like to live on a farm, to only have small towns around you. What's it like to get up at the crack of dawn, milk the cows, feed the animals. Or work til midnight night after night desperate to get the harvest on before the first snowfall? What's it like? Who are these people? What are their stories? So, yeah, it is tedious. But it's also...thought provoking. Or, in my case, story provoking.
