There are several wind farms in the area of our campground at Crystal Lake, IA  Forest City also shows windmills on the horizon. 

Inside the campground is a Church building that will have non-denominational service in the morning.  We also found a Christian Church not too far from the campground back on Rt 18 we may go there.  But this is the first time we have found a church on the campgrounds. 
I found it interesting that we also have phone booths around the park.  Jerry said it was for campers to change into SuperMan Campers. 
Jerry took me to a quilt store today that was really unique.

It was on a farm.  The shop was in a barn, a chicken coup, and another out building.  Complete with chickens, cats, dogs, geese, and I am pretty sure there were other animals but I got to pet the cats and dogs.  Loved it.  These ladies are quilt designers that we find in shops and on line it was a neat afternoon.  Jerry sat out and read under the trees while I shopped.  The owner's husband came along with bags of books and left three mysteries for me to read.  So it was a great afternoon.

I am looking forward to Forest City after the plant tour on Monday.  There is a shop there that I think is home to some more quilt designers that I have several of their patterns.  Also the shop is supposed to have bright fabrics so I am looking forward to that. 

Jerry has made supper so I bet run.

Happy Saturday night and have a Blessed Sunday.

  1. I can see why you would love that quilt store. Must be nice to land in one place for a few days, however, it seems like your whole trip has been scheduled well. Hope Jerry enjoys his birthday today (Sunday), Keith may try to call again. Just wanted you to know we think of you!
