It's a hike to the northwest corner of Iowa. And Caroline has done it twice in about 3 months. What a trooper she is! Here you can see her red hair in the sunlight.
Here she charms my cousin Kent at Grandma's funeral. He agreed to put her through college for us if we make him another one just like this for him to keep. Tempting...
Cousin Kirk and his beautiful family.
A picture display with many Ankerstjerne's! Grandma and Grandpa have 4 children, 12 grandchildren, and 20 great-grandchildren. She will be greatly missed.
Cousin Adam gets in on spoiling Caroline too.
Do you know what this is?
If you live in Iowa, you do!
Other than being absolutely huge, this is a propeller for a windmill. Approximately 90 feet long..
And this is what they look like when installed.
These windmills tower over farmland -almost like aliens. Look how tall they are in comparison to the trees and silos on this farm. They are simply amazing. We're told that 2 propellers side by side are like the wings of a 747. I venture to say they are even larger. Just a little bit of the charm you'll find in northwest Iowa, so I had to throw it in there. What can I say? When you spend this much time in a car in one week, you get a little bored.
