Great Iowa Road Trip

Jessica and I took off Monday and road tripped to Dubuque then, down to Bellevue and over to Maquoekta and eventually back to Iowa City. It was a perfect day and we had a great time!

"Grace" & "Anne"

This is a picture of my daughter Jessica and her friend Nicole who had the leads in the Washington Iowa community theater production of "Anne". It performed to 4 sold out crowds and was a huge success. It was such a wonderful play that I'm sure they could have sold out a few more shows as well.This is Jessica as "Grace" and Ryan as "Oliver Warbucks"

The Stars of "Annie" ... Look out Broadway!!!

Jessica is Going to Be a Hawkeye

Jessica and Herky poise for a shot at Jessica's University of Iowa orientation this past week. It was fun going back to campus. I can't believe that I'm so old to have a daughter going to Univ. of Iowa... wasn't I just a student there. Of course Nick is already there and will be a Junior next year!! Where does the time go.

Vintage Kitchens

Great Vintage Kitchen Designs... back when kitchen were really used!!

These white kitchen cupboards remind me of my Grandmother's Kitchen in their "old" house.

I Love Vintage Trailers

These trailers are not mine, but I would love to have them. I have collected photos over the years of my dream trailers. I actually have a Shasta just like this one, but mine is missing the wings and isn't in as good of condition.

Vintage Kitchen Stuff

There is something so happy and cheerfull about bright red and the other primary colors. They were especially popular in vintage 40's & 50's kitchenwares.

Bridgewater House Porch Memories

What a great weekend we had in Bridgewater, Iowa at our little "Lake House" for the their big 125th Celebration. The people of Bridgewater are so incredible. Their weekend was packed full of events and wonderful tributes to the town and it's former and currents residents. It was really great. Such a great example of true America!!!

My son Nolan and his cousins Hayden and Jackson are enjoying watermelon on our porch.

Celebrating Bridgewater This Weekend

This is our little house in the village of Bridgewater Iowa which will be celebrating it's 125th Birthday this upcoming weekend. Our family is planning to make the trek and participate in all the activities. I can't wait. I'm homesick for my little house in Bridgewater. Looking forward to a great weekend!!
