We are touring the midwest and today we are in Iowa!

Dis is the state where our moms parents are from. It’s beautiful here, and they grow corm. So much corm, it’s amazing – and so delicious fresh from the farms. First we bisited the Canteem Lunch in Alley in Ottumwa, a landmark restaurant our grandma used to go to when she was a little girl.

When she married Tom Arnold (Tom libed wiff our uncle Tom Quinn Sr. for a while when he was in high school) who is also from Ottumwa, they opened a restaurant in Eldon IA for those too – it was called Roseanne & Tom’s Big Food Diner. They featured copycat loose meat sandwiches but the Canteen is the best eber since 1927.  Tell us if you hab been there!

After lunch we went to Muscatime, known as the Pearl Button Capital ob the World.  We caught the end ob a parade wiff a giant paper mache Mark Twain. You neber know what you are going to find in Iowa, but it’s always fun.  Fank you so much for bizness Birgina Rud – we are in Muscatime now, the Mark Twain parade is ober, so come find us downtown and we can hab dinner wiff you!

We hab some trabeling to do, so we showed Teddy how to take care ob Gary.  He takes good care ob us, so I fink he can do it.  If you see us out on the road, be sure to say ‘hey’!

We got measured by the Milano measuring stick too – but we are regular size.
