A picture of Donna and Laif's dining room. The Grandfather clock is one that used to belong to Clayton. It has such nice chimes. I always loved it and I am glad it has a good home.

Donna had plants in the wooden barrels. They filled up with water and her plants were turning yellow. Donna is dumping water from one and Laif is drilling holes in the barrels. Their back yard looks so good.

This is the fence that Laif is building around the back yard. It is very nice looking.

Donna and laif had a rock wall put in along where the fence goes. You can see the top of it from here. When you are driving up to their house you can see the rock wall. It was very beautifully done.

Just a little information on "Our Great Adventure". I am working on our agenda. We fly into Minneapolis on July 21st. We are going to spend the first night in a hotel close to the Mall of America. On the 22nd, we are going to go to Pepin, Wisconsin to see the Laura Ingalls Museums. I am looking up other sites in and around Pepin. That is about as far as I got today.

Laura was born in Pepin.

A little info----Pepin County is Wisconsin's second smallest county and is one of the state's most colorful and historic vacation destinations and named for Lake Pepin. Lake Pepin is 28 miles long, 3 miles wide. It is a spectacularly beautiful and tranquil body of water formed where the delta of the Chippewa River flows into the mighty Mississippi River.
