Red Wing

 We went to the outlet for Red Wing shoes and they have the biggest boot in the world, made right there in the factory and the store was built around it.  I had never heard of these shoes, there are work boots and now they have tennis and hiking boots too, and they are expensive, but really well done!!
And this boot felt like a real boot too, size 877!!! A person would have to be 12 stories tall to fit into it!!
It was a great little, old town, lots of brick buildings, they were redoing the road and the whole downtown was a total mess...

These boots were all over town in front of businesses, I got the ONE picture  :)


Ate lunch at the Staghorn Bar. great, huge bar, great meat soup and Carol had brats that were wonderful!!!  There was a tin ceiling..





Aren't these tulips  amazing? A florist does the flowers for the bar, and they were really pretty


Yes, some places you can go to and just know, you could look about for sometime in that place, it was down in a hollow, next to Mississippi River, in Minnesota...  Just looked and felt like a really nice place.  They also made Red Wing pottery there, there was a museum, they no longer make the pottery there.  You know, I thought about it and no one uses that pottery anymore, more as a thing to collect or look at.  Huge crocks to use to preserve meat and things in, we no longer do that... Anyway most of us no longer do that. Preserve food for the long, hard Winter, just go to the grocery.

I also have been plagued with TWO more UTI's..  last Saturday went to Immediate care, got diagnosed, got antibiotics.. got better, then Wednesday this week, started feeling bad again and Friday when we got back to Davenport had to go to Immediate Care yet again!!!!  On another regimen and feeling better, but boy howdy for a day there it was not pretty.... Went get home am going to get a referral to a urologist, as regular doc said that was the next step to take.... hate all of this......

Hope all is well with all of you Take Care and God Bless
