We had a great time with Friends this weekend. We drove about an hour to a town that has a population of 159! Say what? Yes, 159. That’s one hundred fifty-nine people.
They have a restaurant that is famous for it’s pie. The lunch was also good. But best of all getting together with Friends is the whole pie! We went with a couple from The Burg and met up with a couple from Springfield, MO. Now the Friends have more Friends. I love to connect people.
After we left the booming town of Collins, with a population of 159, we took the old highway and enjoyed nature! The wildflowers were in full bloom and I was so caught up in the enjoyment of The Creator that I did not take so many pictures. Not to mention the two turtle crossing the road were left behind (much to their delight I’m sure).
Next stop, Osceola Cheese store! Samples galore of all kinds of cheeses. A must stop if you find yourself in western Missouri.
Without further ado, here are some photos.
Enjoy!

Thank you Tom! We live in a beautiful country. I just love seeing things I’ve never seen before. 😀
I agree Cate. Enjoy your trip.
Ohhh, sounds like a wonderful life, Cate! Glad to see you’re enjoying every moment!
Thanks T – it’s always good to get out and see more than my four walls – especially with good people. 😀
hey Cate! sounds like you had a blast! and yeah, it’s always good if you’re going with good people/friends…makes for an extra special day!
enjoyed the pics, looks like a great place to shop around and enjoy the different shops! glad you’re doing what you love…many more blessings and great rides ❤
Thanks Selah Vita! This area is full of fascinating old mid west towns – most so tiny it’s unbelievable. Such history. 😀
Interesting post and lovely photos. Also, thank you for liking my central park post. Hope to stay connected with you 😊
Yes – hope to see you more often 😀 Thank you
😊👍
Cate, I simply love the way you spin a tale. And the photos are lovely.
I also understand being caught up in the Creator’s wonders. Often, He doesn’t allow me to take photos. Either the lighting is wrong and my phone camera won’t click, or it takes too long to focus. I know in those moments He just wants me to put it away and enjoy the delight in front me; just commune, He and I and appreciate the beauty He has placed before me.
Glad you got to do that with those two turtles! 🙂
Haha. Yes, Susan – our mind and hearts can store the best moments. 😀
From Pie to Cheese – don’t you think that title has the makings of a novel?
Hahahaha! I can see that! Yes!
You do get around Cate! what could be better than pie with friends?? fun post.
