Dime Store Displays

This great Saf-T Pop Dime store display was for sale at the Hansen's Grove Antique Show this past 4th of July. It reminded me of how as a child we would love to go to Hester's 5 & 10 store in my hometown of Avoca, Iowa to buy candy!!! I love those old candy store displays!!

Summertime means Kids Parades!!

The Hollyhocks are in Bloom

I remember making hollyhock dolls out of these vintage beauties. This year they don't seem to be as pretty as last year, but we do have pink, white and magenta.

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!!!
