The @Cardinals close out the weekend with a series win!

[Joe Crain @JoeCrain]

Nice finish to the weekend and the perfect opportunity to do our take of the Schlow burger on the grill complete with homemade sauce & grilled onions, along with camp fired potatoes, and a broccoli salad on the side. This far exceeded the already high standards at the Crainstead!

It’s been a little while since this has been said: The Chicago White Sox are fun. Down to their final out, Miguel Vargas saves the night and it’s bedlam on the South Side.

HAPPY TGI-FRIDAY!!! Nice start to the weekend at the Crainstead with chicken pesto flatbread topped with mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, basil, and a balsamic reduction with honey — the pesto was homemade by Mrs. Crain and the basil was snipped fresh from our herb garden.

This lady is driving down a stretch of road on St. Louis St. in Springfield, Missouri.

She is driving exactly 30
Mph and as she does so the rumble strips create the melody of “America The Beautiful”. This just opened up recently.

The song was chosen as a tribute to America’s open road, the spirit of Route 66 and the upcoming celebration of the country’s 250th anniversary. ❤️🇺🇸

I think that is too cool. Love when towns and cities are patriotic. 💯

Never knew this existed or was a thing. I’ve heard there are other roads in our beautiful country that have other songs as well.

Did you know this existed? Have you ever driven on a road where the rumble strips play a song before? Isn’t that cool?

PLAY BALL!!! Congratulations to the @ShoesBaseball on the start of their fifth season at historic Robin Roberts Stadium. The weather was perfect for opening night last night and it was great to see so many families and kids at the ballpark. https://t.co/sbUbclZWvC

Everyone COPY this video, share it far and wide. Paramount Skydance billionaire baby David Ellison can’t handle that Stephen Colbert is getting millions of views . @Youtube we will cancel our subscription as we did when we dumped @paramountplus.

As we celebrate the unofficial start of summer with cookouts and get togethers, let’s not forget those members of our military who made the ultimate sacrifice to preserve and protect our freedoms.

LOL Stephen Colbert is making his band play licensed music during his final show so CBS – who fired him – will get sued and have to pay millions

"Anyone illegally using that music is gonna have to pay through the nose--"

[band starts playing]

"Oh no! I hope this doesn't cost CBS any money!"

WAVE 'EM IN THE AIR, ST. LOUIS!

Great night for grilling out at the Crainstead! Steak, roasted cheesy potatoes, and a vegetable medley for dinner… brownies are currently baking and should be done soon!
