Almost Home

One of the things I am looking forward to seeing in Missouri is the house-size American Flag that flies over the gas station in Lowry City as I draw near to Osceola. That flag marked the "almost home" spot as I returned from work or shopping in Clinton or a visit to Kansas City. It can be seen from miles away. I don't live at Terrapin Station anymore, but next week I am returning to a place that is still my home in my heart.
