Eureka.
Margaritas
This is pretty close to The Donut Whole in Wichita and it tempted me, but I stuck with iced tea and a donut.
The Donut Whole
Previously I showed you a flying donut, but here’s more of The Donut Whole, 1720 E. Douglas, in Wichita. I was there mid-afternoon, so many of the 35 varieties of donuts that you’d find at 7 a.m. had already been devoured. The clerk kindly ran through all of these, telling me what was in them, …
News from Neosho Falls
In 2005, I took this photo of the tavern in Neosho Falls. And Dave took this one. When we returned to Neosho Falls a year or so later, the tavern was closed. That was sad. Because every town needs a gathering place of some kind. HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN. I received an e-mail this …

Pages Books & Coffee
If I lived in Newton, I would so be in here all the time, drinking coffee and scribbling in my notebook – Pages Books & Coffee. It’s a small, but bright and welcoming bookstore, lots of little artistic extras with the layout and artwork. It’s just a pleasant place. I asked permission to photograph it, …
