Another Hawkeye Saturday

John and I both graduated from the University of Iowa so of course we are big Hawk fans. Unfortunately we don't get to the games very often. The Hawk games are a world unto their own. If you have never been to one it hard to explain how colorful and exciting they are.

Remembering the Rose Bowl Parade

Our family visited the Rose Bowl parade many years ago. This was the Honda float that our family worked on. I have such great memories of that trip. It was a dream come true!!

Corn Stocks Around Our Light Pole

Every Fall when my busy Dad was harvesting he would take time and make a Corn Stock Shock around our light pole on our farm.. Then later we would ate pumpkins. It was always a great place for the kittens to hide. Here is a picture of myself on the big trike and my sister Lois in front of the Stocks... My guess is that this picture is around 1965.

AvoHa Vikettes... Remembering 6 on 6 Girl's Basketball in Iowa

A good Friend and former girls basketball player from Exira stopped into the Rug Cottage the other day. It was so good to see her again. I thought it would be fun to post this picture again of my sister and I in our basketball uniforms from AvoHa high school back in the early 80's! We played 6 0n 6 girls basketball. We both had the seen the PBS special on Girl's basketball in Iowa. It's really wonderful. Check it out if you can.
