The Iowa State Fair Butter Cow

Every year our family goes to the Iowa State Fair ... ever since I was a kid. One constant is the Butter Cow. It' the first thing we go to see when we go.

My Senior Picture

I graduated from High School in 1981. Next year will be our 30th Class Reunion. I can't believe it ... Where does the time go? This year my daughter graduated. I'm excited for what lies ahead for her.

I Can't Wait for The Iowa State Fair..

You can't go to The Iowa State Fair without seeing the Butter Cow.. It's a classic!!

I love the Fair Food!!

Everything on a stick. The egg council gives out these hard boiled eggs on a stick. They are Delicious.

We always have to ride the sky lift. It's so Fun!!

Great views of the fair from the sky lift.

These are pictures from last years Iowa State Fair. I Can't Wait!!! It's so wonderful.... This year our daughter will be singing at the Bill Riley talent show. That's something I have ever been to.

Road Trip to Swedsburg Iowa

We toured the Swedsburg Swedish museum.

Jessica is very artistic ,... even on her "Mess Eggs" she ordered at the Ainsworth Truck Stop. By the way they were delicious.

Beautiful Iowa.. Roadside views going down in the Convertible.

Family Vacation 06 to Dubuque Iowa

A great Iowa Classic the Fenelon Place elevator. It' the shortest, steepest cable car in the world and what a great ride for only a dollar!!

The Beautiful Mississippi...... with one of it's prized riverboats.

A grand painted lady of Dubuque.

The Fenelon Street Cable Car

Soon the School Bus will Show Up

This picture was from last year. It's hard to believe that I'll have 2 in school and 2 in college this year. Where does the time go??? The summer has literally flown by. We haven't even gone swimming at the local pool. We've had a lot of rain... Oh well the state fair is coming and that's always a great finale summer event!!
