Or on plywood and then nailed on? I think I might like to do that on our barn!Kathiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15954229132389021143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-70895950154173941982012-06-25T12:27:02.377-07:002012-06-25T12:27:02.377-07:00Independence looks like a beautiful town.

That could be the ones I know in my own corner. Hard to imagine the gruesome details. I sometimes think I'd enjoy a stay at Shady Acres myself. LOL!<br /><br />Must share this with my bil and see if he knows anything of that community since he grew up in Iowa and his mother still lives there. My sister very much enjoys visiting the state.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-68771475774665839022012-06-25T09:55:52.951-07:002012-06-25T09:55:52.951-07:00Gorgeous pictures and tour of a pretty place!

I loved seeing the one room school house as I imagine the school my parents attended looked very much the same. I've seen some pretty "barn quilts" in Pennsylvania in Amish country. They also paint "hex sign" designs on their barns. It is nice to see honesty still exists..no one would dare leave a door unlocked where I live!Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-70936328689708639572012-06-25T09:26:58.613-07:002012-06-25T09:26:58.613-07:00So many interesting things in that little town.

When my kids were in high school I attended cross-country meets on the Mental Health Institute grounds...a beautiful place. I did not know it had a museum. Didn't know about the schoolhouse either.

I'd love to take a drive to see the barn quilts and the museums. I, too, remember those desks, and we did have ink wells and cork-handled fountain pens when I learned to write.
