Iowa City, May 2009



We had the opportunity of traveling to Coralville, Iowa to participate in Shefton's Eagle Scout Court of Honor. This is a photo of his Eagle Scout Project. A full scale model of a pioneer handcart. This will be on display at the Institute of Religion University of Iowa.


We are proud of Shefton and his accomplishments in attaining the Eagle Scout Award along with 26 merit badges (21 are required for Eagle).


On Memorial Day Weekend we traveled to Galena, Illinois on the banks of the Mississippi River, where we enjoyed the atmosphere of a small town which was the home of Ulysses. S. Grant, 18th President of the United States.


Our trip included a visit to
Dyersville, Iowa, the home of Field of Dreams. Grandma is sitting on the bench waiting for "them to come". It was an enjoyable visit to a movie set.
