the fun continues

Our plan was to ask at the shop where was a good place to eat,  Lori the owner, who is one of the most gracious people I have ever met invited us to eat what she was serving the guild.  She had plenty.  It was a delicious chicken salad croissant, fruit and chips.  One of the local gals sits down with us and proceeds to tell us what it going on in Faulkton and to be sure to see the Pickler Mansion and the grain elevator.  There is a Victorian mansion on the prairie of South Dakota.  I had been there before but learned more from this tour guide than I had before or maybe repetition helps things stick in my head.    To be a Victorian Mansion it has to have a library,  a tower, stained glass windows and two staircases.  It was home to South Dakotas first congressman and Susan B. Anthony stayed there.
We spent the entire day in Faulkton!! a town of 700 some people.  An artist is painting their grain elevator, this side (east) was done, he was working on cowboy hats on the the north and in the 2 weeks since I was there he has painted the west side click on Faulkton above and see.
We visited a couple more shops then went back to the quilt shop for a cup of good coffee and more girl talk before heading our separate directions.  Cherished time with good friends.  --Ann--
