Day 26..Home away from home...Eyota...MN

We went to the museum in pouring rain in the morning. The little breakfast place had the sign, " no smoking on Sat. and Sun." They are trying to have people quit smoking slowly :)







The museum has lots of interesting stuff from all over the world and from old as well as morden times. Here is a sample of the paiting from Haity.

Here is the art from Europe. The big thing about the collection was the ORIGINAL painting and the frame of , Rafael's " Woman in Veil" . It was in a dark room with movie explaing the painting and the background and had a sign for no photograph and also, " very soft sounds only" I guess the sound waves can ruin the painting too.


After travelling on the country roads, making lefts and rights, we got to an unpaved road , my blackberry stopped reception and Gizmo announced , " arrived at the destination". With no house in sight and pouring rain, we panicked. Luckily, i was able to call Jim and he came looking for us...we were right there, in front of the house.

The house is an understatment. It is a palace, a transformation from the mud jungle I saw two years ago. Jim and Becky and the boys have new additions. 16 chicks less than a week old.
This is their great room. It is night time, I will have better pictures tomorrow. It is huge and has very nice feeling to it. The ecolors are warm and cozy. Jim did all the painting and planning and all of construction himself. We had a great dinner and the boys are sleeping now.


Becky and I are blogging together tonight. She is having fun and I am glad to have a companion.

Good night...
