Description Iowa, a midwestern U.S state, sits between the Missouri and Mississippi of rolling plains and cornfields. Landmarks in the capital, Des Moines, include the gold-domed, 19th-century State Capitol Building, Pappajohn Sculpture Park and Des Moines Art Center, noted for its contemporary collections. The city of Cedar Rapidsâ Museum of Art has paintings by native Iowan Grant Wood. – Google {}
I am a little curious about this state. I am NOT a sports person, but I hear people talking about Iowa State and I wonder if they are talking about basketball or football – a college team or a pro team? I donât think there is a baseball team. (let me ask google that question?)
âWow,â I am surprised there isnât any major pro sports team in the state of Iowa. I just learned something new. I did see more videos about sports and fairs. When I first saw the word state fair. I automatically thought of two movies –
State Fair – Yes, I know this movie was out before I was born, but thanks to TCM – Turner Classic Movies. I can enjoy these old time movies. I want to say this movie is about neighbors. The guy comes back from college and takes his not so tom boy neighbor to the state fair. I could be wrong.
Meet Me in St. Louis – I LOVE this movie from the songs to each sister and the dad is so funny. I believe I will watch this again tonight. This will be a nice way to end my stress free weekend.
** For some reason I couldn’t add the pictures to these two movies and I am done trying…. Time to move on…..

#1 This video was taped in the air. Yes, there were a lot of cool buildings, but I would have liked to see the names of the buildings etc. It is a nice and relaxing video to watch. It may be a year old, but since it was mostly for the view and no info it was okayâŚ.
Iowaâs Oldest City: Dubuque, Iowa 4K. Mar 26, 2021
Chris Harden One could make a strong argument for Dubuque being Iowaâs most unique city. Whatâs undebatable is that Dubuque is the oldest city in Iowa, as it was a city before Iowa was a state. To this day, Dubuque remains to be an attractive place to live and to visit.{}
#2This video is too long-winded , with good information, and I enjoyed the view. I may have only got through a little over 16 minutes, but it is a good video.
** Side Note – My mind is going back to the book I started reading yesterday and I am having a hard time focusing on this video. Just like this video (which I donât believe was taped in one day) I am going to go back to my book, with a cup of coffee in hand and come back to the state of Iowa.

#3 The pretty picture captured my attention before I could even look at another video. Art around the city not only makes the area beautiful, but will always make someone Smile đ
** side note : I went to three other cities in Iowa and didnât find one that wasnât sad, too long ago, or anything that caught my attention. I am ready to enjoy the rest of my night with one of my favorite animes. I have already seen this once, maybe twice before, but I Love it. Itâs called âMy Roommate is a catâ.
I believe I am going to leave Iowa today and call my time there done. My next place to visit online is Kansas. I am hoping for some fun videos. I am sure there are more things to do and see in Iowa, just not enough on video.
Well after a nice day of work, it’s nice to relax with a good anime to watch or something interesting to read. I was thinking about a cup of coffee, but I promised only one a day. Well, I do two, but that is still better than six..
Ever start doing something and you know you are in the right and you keep things moving, because âI am right.â Then you start to slow down and look at what you are doing?
What am I doing?
Why am I doing this?
Do I need to do this?
These three questions got me to stop trying to redo my past work. I wanted to put everything that said, âOnline Travelingâ under the menu, but since I didnât know how to do that at the start of this blog and there wasnât anyone who could help (for free) to set up my page correctly.
It doesnât matter or does it? I am thinking about adding the rest? YES or NO? I am going to think about this one..
I canât believe I made the same mistake twice. I really should have started over three weeks ago, but for some reason I felt it was right. I thought when you look at a rainbow it would have to be big.
{} CROCHET AN EXTRA LARGE RAINBOWđ beginner-friendly step by step tutorial/ Ophelia Talks https://youtu.be/1sIapDy7uJM
Ophelia Talks Hi everyone it’s Anja here with a new video on how to crochet an extra large rainbow. In this step by step crochet tutorial about the rainbow I am using updated colours and a slightly larger size! This video is beginner-friendly with explanations about the stitches and increasing.{}
I know my rainbow blankets are a little different, but thatâs what happens when someone who enjoys crochet gets creative blankets.
Blossom Crochet Super easy V Stitch square – can be used for small individual squares or one large continuous square of any size!{}
I made a rainbow blanket that has pink and white in it. I call it a girlâs rainbow blanket. It was supposed to have been for a baby girl. I do like my blanket to be a little bigger, to allow the blanket to grow with the baby, but this is way too big.
I repeated the same pattern I used before on the girlâs rainbow blanket, but omitting the pink. I did add white in it and this one is my, âboy rainbow blanketâ. Then again it could be for both a boy or a girl, because it’s colors are a true rainbow.
{}Baby’s First Christmas Afghan – Crochet Tutorial – Easy to Crochet
I missed and made it the same size as my first one. I was going to make this one a little smaller, but – I realized it doesnât look like a baby’s blanket. I can still make it a little bigger than a regular size blanket, but then I was having way too much fun and this happenedâŚ.
I didnât realize working with so many different colors was going to be a lot of work, but so much fun. I said I wasnât going to do that againâŚ.
Well that thought didnât last long. I was wondering how to change colors without tying so many knots? I ran across one of my favorite creative person Ms. Donna Wolfe
{}How to Change Colors in Crochet – 8 Different Ways by Naztazia
Hi I’m Donna Wolfe from Naztazia https://naztazia.com You’ll learn how to change colors with single crochet stitches, double crochet, and moreâŚâŚ.{}
I am thinking about redoing the borders, but this is my design of multi colors. Only time will tell..
I started watching a new anime and of course I forgot its title. Good thing there is google. This is what I typed in, âan anime where a young girl solves mystery and stays in a library,â and this is its answer:
{} Gosick No. Kazuya, a Japanese student in the Saint Marguerite Academy in Sauville, meets a mysterious girl named Victorque atop the schoolâs library tower.
I donât get why she has to stay on the school grounds all the time or that her brother act likes she isn’t there, even though she is helping him, but Victorque accepts it as her faith. I want to say Kazuya was tricked into going to the tower and there he found a friend he didnât know he was looking for.
She has a mind that will clear up any kind of mystery and loves finding an answer to an unknown question. He seems to always be in an area at the wrong time and by the time he realizes he is in trouble it’s too late.Â
He helps her not to be bored all the time and she helps him be able to stand on his own and not in the shadow of his brothers.
This is a cool anime. I am enjoying this story as my pastel project gets bigger. The weekend is almost here and I donât want to spend it in the house. I donât have a clue as to what I will do or where I will go, but I have two more days to think it outâŚ
