Another Chore Day

 Yesterday we also went to the Davenport House, Patti volunteers there twice a month... It is an interesting house, that was a mansion in its day and built in 1833.. and it is RIGHT on the Mississippi. Were there even people in Oregon then??  :)  Well, really not many...
There were flowers gardens about also, planted with flowers indigenous to the region,  these were spider plants... got some seeds  hopefully can grow some in Oregon High Desert.....

 They do a good job on upkeep.. Davenport, along with LeClaire were founders of the City and owned much of the land...


 Here is a model... or playhouse.. Gus was not too excited about posing for me...

 Pretty blue glass ware in the gift shop..

 Artful display of feathers...

 AND today is the 1st  University of Iowa Football game,  and my heavens everyones in a tizzy about it... this was at the local Hyvee grocery store.. any kind of shirt you might need!!!

So I had to have one and wear it on this special day....  Got mine at Scheels tho the other day.....
We spent the day once again doing chores.. now the laundry is going....
Take Care All
