A 1917 Farm

2019 West Again, Minnesota, Road Trip, States

Janet and Patty are living the dream on their Hobby Farm just a few miles northwest of Minneapolis but a world away from the big city life. Their barn was built in 1917 and their house a few years later. The family that lived here for decades came back for a family reunion in 2017 to remember and to tell stories of life on the farm. Janet and Patty together grow and harvest hay here and when we visited a new crop of corn was sprouting. Patty loves caring for her farm equipment. Janet loves gardening. They both love their animals from goats and chickens to dogs and cats. Until recently they had a herd of seven alpaca. If you’re a Harvest Hosts member be sure to look them up when you are in this part of Minnesota. We loved our evening with our new friends sharing wine, farm fresh eggs, alpaca fleece, Redbudsuds, and a love of travel.

Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream.

London’s National Portrait Gallery’s temporary exhibition, “Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens” presents an amazing collection of portraits, jewelry, personal effects, books, costumes, and more to illustrate not only the lives of the six women who married the second Tudor king, but the effort across five centuries to keep their memory alive.

The purpose of our trek to Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham in the southwest of London was to see a recently recovered bronze bust of the Emperor Caligula but we discovered so much more in the recently restored 18th Century “little Gothic castle” built by Horace Walpole.
