Chickadee Thursday
As a follow-up to the Busch 360 Tour Chickadee and I went on in August, we went on the Classic Tour of the ballpark on Monday, plus we visited the Cardinals Hall of Fame and Museum and walked around Ballpark Village…it was about the most fun you can have when the Cardinals aren’t in town!

Western Auto
This mutlii-story sign in Kansas City really caught my eye…it takes the idea of a vintage road sign to a whole new level! The building it sits atop was originally the Coca-Cola building before it became the Western Auto Supply Company headquarters…today it is on the National Register of Historic Places and was renovated into condos. It bet it looks really cool when it’s lit up at night!

“I’m not a psychiatrist, I’m not screwed up enough.” Captain Hawkeye Pierce, Mad Dogs and Servicemen,” season three, episode 13
Mani Monday
This week’s mani is inspired in part by the St. Louis Cardinals’ alternate blue jersey. I used Holo Taco’s “Polar Opposites” set with the super magnet on my thumb and pinkie nails, and “Red Licorice” on the rest, all topped with “Silver Flake Taco” for a bit of extra sparkle.

Shuttlecocks
These large-scale (18 feet high!) sculptures of shuttlecocks at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City were the main reason I wanted to visit the museum in the first place. There’s something so whimsical to me about sculptures of everyday things supersized that I couldn’t resist, and these did not disappoint! We almost missed the fourth one, because it’s on the other side of the museum grounds from the other three, and we stumbled upon it quite by accident…I’m glad we found the complete set!
