On the next to the last day of the year (Dec.30) we make our annual trek to Jefferson City, Missouri. Due to the husband’s arresting past in law enforcement, we keep our vehicle tags private. This requires a renewal in the main office of the Department of Revenue. So it goes. We make the best of the trip most of the time, weather permitting and this day was clear, cold and windy. But the roads were precipitation free.
For a Thursday Doors fan, this Missouri city should be on your to-do list. I’ll be coming back later when the winds aren’t a thing. I’m a light-weight in tolerating winter wind. Side note: See the capital swathed in the protective covering? It survived an EF-3 tornado on May22 which can have sustained winds of 160 mph. Tragically, 3 lives were lost that day.
Now for some more stuff from the day….
We droved past this building in downtown JCMO and had to wonder about the photo above. Hopefully it’s a repair.
Stopped at one of our favorite haunts in town. The eldest bought a vintage globe. She studies authoritarian regimes and the Cold War Era globe was too much for her to resist. I searched for more vintage crochet thread with no success. Still a great place to spend an hour. The pooch in the window was a lovely door greeter. I’m counting him in as a Doors accessory this week. 😉
Finally I have a little gallery from a wonderful, just-discovered, pizzaria we dined at. West Main Pizza served the best g-free pizza I’ve tasted away from home since we ate in Nashville, Tennesee back in 2011. Not kidding! I highly recommend this to my allergy-suffering friends. It’s da-bomb! Highly conscientious staff, clean and delicious food. What more can you ask for?! We’ll be back. Til next time, have a wonderful rest of your week and may your 2020 blessings abound! Please visit Norm 2.0 for more Thursday Doors from around the world. He’ll direct you to the links.
Love the repurposed Door wall-hanger 
I’ll be recreating this one! Oh-My-Word!!

Eating before photos??? Ha! Happens to me all the time. 🙂 That cover is fascinating. I’ve never heard or seen anything like it, but apparently it works!

I was famished! Guilty lol —and the weather covering is helpful to allow work in all kinds of weather. Apparently they’ve returned the ‘Ceres’ Goddess of Agriculture, fertility, motherhood etc to the dome’s top so thinking it’ll be finished before much longer.

Thanks for the tour. Just the thought of a tornado scares the crap outta me. I’ve never been near one and hope that trend continues 😉

So thankful for the warning systems we have now compared to back in the day. Still scary but much easier to seek shelter in time. Thanks for dropping in!

Interesting trip and some fun sights. I wonder about that wall. Next year, you’ll have to give us an update.

That vintage shop sounds so inviting. My mouth is watering at the pizzas because I’m on a gluten free, dairy free diet for a month.

We’ve got 2 family members with Celiac and it’s definitely been a journey.So much has improved in choices and especially prices of things since we first had to make the change. I hope you’re feeling better since the change!

I am, thank you. Less arches and stiffness and sinuses cleared up. Our youngest is dairy intolerant and sensitive to gluten, too, as are some of the grandchildren. It used to very pricey food wise but in the last five years there has been great progress in that regard here.

Vintage shop and delicious pizza, what a wonderful combination. Living in southern Missouri, I will have to make a trek to Jefferson City when it warms up.
