Since we had a free Sat. (no wedding scheduled) we decided to take a "mini vacation" to Lawrence yesterday. We kind of have a "routine" of things we always "have" to do when we go to Lawrence but the activities can always be amended. We started the day at
Wheatfield's Bakery for salads. If you have never been there you need to! There was a fun combo playing outside the bakery. The musicians are KU students and say that they play there every Sat. The mandolin player said that he used to be an employee at Wheatfield's.
Having been sufficiently nourished we proceeded to the barber shop for a much needed trim. After many other stops we decided that it was time to head for home since it looked like it was going to rain. Apparently we didn't decide to start out soon enough and just let's say if you live in either Topeka or Lawrence I don't have to tell you that it was
more than just rain we are kinda talking about flood here. We ended up stranded for a time waiting out the rain and getting soaked but all and all it was fun. The last image for today is of North Lawrence under the railroad overpass that was flooded. The fire department had to rescue one person that had not paid attention to the "closed" sign. A word to the wise: Do not drive into standing water!!!
