Viva Las Twang 'n Twine!

Last we spoke, we were driving through the scenic farmland of Kansas. We didn't run into Dorothy but we DID get to see the worlds largest ball of twine in Cawker City! When we planned our last cross country adventure, this was a definite stop. As you may remember, we found Lucky before we hit Kansas on our way back so our plans altered a little and we ended up skipping it.  I reached out to our friend, the twine keeper, Linda, and let her know we were going to be in the area this time. She met us there and shared all sorts of amazing stories about the ball, like how it started, and the movie it was featured in last month. She told us about her husband and gave us wise marriage advice. She let us add twine to the ball too! Thank you Linda for this amazing experience!!! If you are going to be in town, she is the woman in the know.❤️ After this we made our way to the geographic center of the continental United States. That's right. The world may not revolve around us, but the country sure did for a bit! Very cool place to say you've been.

The next day we were Kentucky bound! Here we found the worlds largest baseball bat, and let me tell you....it..is...huge. You get the idea in the video above. (And in this picture.)

 

A few blocks away at Caulfield's Novelty, you can find the worlds largest BAT (the vampire kind!) His eyes light up as he hangs out on the side of the building. Being huge fans of Halloween and animals alike, we loved this.

 

After checking out the city of Louisville, showering off, and kissing some horses (check out the vid, you'll understand) we were off to Lexington for a dance party and some sleep.

 Currently we are driving through Kentucky on our way to the Sign Museum, if we can make it in time...check back to see if we made it and to hear about our Walking Dead adventure and our run in with a local in defense of her dog (who we were thisclose to leaving with.)

Talk soon!

Love,

Pat + Deb
