How fun to take the road less traveled,
learn a bit more about history,
and experience something so Americana!

| "American Gothic" has been parodied for years! |

| Another parody. Green Acres is the place for me! ...The chores. ...The stores. ...Fresh air. ...Times Square |

| If it can be made.....it's made! |
American Gothic, painted by Grant Wood, approx. 1930.
This is a beautiful site to visit and not that far off the beaten path. It was certainly worth the extra minutes. It has a modern museum and gift shop, photos are allowed, and the staff is very friendly...of course!

This afternoon is my book signing at Ed & Eva's gift shop. More news and photos tomorrow!
