IOWA - CORN, PIGS & FOOD

"I go to nature to be soothed and healed." (Especially after doing all the eating we've been doing!)

There are many, many statues in Newton, Iowa. This is just one of them.

We went to Prairie City to have tenderloins and treats. We chose Goldie's Diner. It didn't disappoint.

We even got to meet Goldie. What a character. Thanks for the tucker Goldie.

At last I got a ride on a bike... of sorts. This one was built prior to 1920. Yikes! Pretty short cranks. SOLID tyres! Practically unrideable - but I rode it. Thought of Mulga Bill.
Our visit to LIVING HISTORY FARM was well worth it. This house was owned by the Flynn family. We spent the best part of a day there.

A favourite spot was Cardinal Corner where we used to go for dessert. Ice creams were delicious. And huge! Thanks heaps Bryan & Marcia for a great time in Iowa (as usual).
Off to Minnesota tomorrow. About a 6 - 7 hour drive. Think Fay might have to do some driving. Otherwise, how else will I be able to sleep?

THANKS BRYAN & MARCIA

The male King Parrot was an easy target for Bryan's camera. This bloke comes in with his mates most days.

One of our many white roses. Think they may be Icebergs? Does anyone know?

I liked this shot of Bryan's. Taken from horseback would you believe.

They don't call it Swan Lake for nothing. (5 minutes walk away.)



Up close and personal. Bryan got some great shots from our garden.

More pretty colours in our garden.

This mum and youngster were relaxing here at Cudmirrah.

Bryan and Marcia (from Iowa, USA) check out Fitzroy Falls.

Marcia and Fay relax at Mortdale in Sydney.

Bryan and I with work to do. They lived at Bowral in 1974-76. First trip back since then.
