First, this week we took a little trip to Wisconsin to see a wonderful old mill. To get there, we drove through the beautiful countryside and farmlands of Wisconsin.
We then arrived at Dells Mill; isn't it beary beautiful!
Dells Mill was built in 1864 (for our European pals, that's really old for the Midwest!). For over one hundred years, the Mill ground wheat into flour and feed for the animals.
Second, we're catching up on the mail that's arrived recently, and we sure are lucky to have received such nice things!
We received another beary nice postcard from our pal
Sandy who is traveling in Vietnam and Laos. The card shows the Ganh Son whirlpool. Sandy said that it has been beary hot over there, even with his new shorts and sandals! Thanks Sandy! We also received a neat card from our pal
Sullivan who was traveling in Rome with his human companion. The card shows the Capitoline Wolf; it's a statue that symbolizes Rome and her people, as well as all of Italy. Thanks Sullivan! Finally, we received a little package with a surprise from our pal
Beanie mouse!
We had told Beanie about strawberry Jello, but Beanie said they have a different kind in England; it's not a powder (like here in the States) but is in cubes that you dissolve in hot water. Thanks Beanie! Jerry is very excited to try it. We'll let you know how it turns out. Do you make Jello or Jelly at your house? With what do you serve it?
Wow - that is a beautiful mill (and some excellent photos)! I'll be interested to see what you make with the strawberry jelly!
ReplyDelete@ Thanks Sandy. We'll let everyone know how the jelly works out!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to see how your jelly turns out!! I hope my instructions are good!! In England, we have it with icecream...!
ReplyDelete@ Beanie, We're going to try it this weekend. Keep your fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteA very beautiful old mill. Beary picturesque, looks like a great choice for a long weekend.
ReplyDelete@ Buttons, The mill is beary nice, and you can tour it too, along with a nearby old schoolhouse, but we didn't have a lot of time, so we just took photos of the mill.
ReplyDeleteThe picture of the mill is very nice!! We would love to be there too!!
