A Day In Parkville

We decided to spend our day in Parkville.

(McCay Hall,  Park University)


We scouted around for unique treasures at the antique mall.
(Do you see anything YOU would have brought home?)

(Parkville Antique Mall, English Landing)



We meandered through all the wonderful little shops up and down Main Street.
They were celebrating Oktoberfest down by the river.

(Shops pictured here include: Peddler's Wagon Quilt Shop,  Shabby Hattie's Tea Room
Christmas On Main Street,  Now You're Cookin',  Parkville Coffeehouse,   Stone Canyon Pizza and more.)



Before heading home, we paused for a few moments in the chapel,
to view the stained glass windows and whisper a prayer for a loved one.

(Graham Tyler Memorial Chapel)

  13. Yes, I saw something in the shop I would have liked to bring home. :)

    The front of the chapel looks almost identical to the one at our local university; we were married in it 50 years ago.
