I'm so glad my sister's kids are growing up with annual visits to a local steam-thresher's reunion where they can get a better picture of the history of midwestern America.
Some years we get to enjoy it right along with them!
There is always something more to learn, whether in the barn...
I didn't know turkeys had purple and teal around their eyes!
The man in the print shop answered so many questions.
And I also learned that I love the warm, reedy sound of an old pump organ! Now I understand old books better and how these instruments were prized in the parlors of small homes such as that of the Ingalls family in "These Happy Golden Years." I wonder where I could fit one in our house...
