Santa Rosa, NM is a good Route 66 town with some real good food. The fat man smiling on the sign came from the Club Cafe which served from 1935 'til 1991-2. The Campos family bought it a few years later but the building needed too much repair so they moved the fat man smiling to their restaurant. This place is real good.
Joseph's. The fat man smiling isn't Joseph. 
Eat here!

Childress, TX is on the 287 about half way between Amarillo and Ft. Worth. The highway goes right through the middle of town. It looked better in real life than in these pictures.

This place is pretty good. It reminds me of the cafes found in small towns far away from California. The waitress was real nice, the food was good, and lunch was less than $10 including coffee! I'm going to try breakfast next time. Cafe Racer Lunch Counter at Silverado Cafe I was honored to be allowed to drink from Rosemary's pretty cat mug.

Lucky Triumph Last week's Triumph troubles are turning out to be a pretty good thing...if you're the Triumph. Lori's been wanting to do something with it for awhile and said, "Since it needs a battery I might as well take the gas tank off and see about paint." So the battery's here, the tank and rear fender are off, she's shopping for a tail light assembly, and pondering some paint options. Here's a few pictures of her tearing it apart after we siphoned the gas out of it. Here's a few more with the color turned on. Agriculture Report The seedlings were transplanted into their new pots Saturday. Lori knocked the bottoms out of the eggshells and planted them with Marigolds to help repel insects. They're taking well to their new homes and look like they've grown in the last twenty four hours! More at  www.townhomesteader.com   Crazy Old Jeep This Jeep caught my eye while fueling up last wee
