{turned out...my Favorite Rep, from The Cedar Rapids Gazette, knew this Family.

She's from Newhall, and Dearly Loved...These Folks.

<3

She shared many stories...about this Family.

<3 }

Then...headed West...to Daughter, Liz's.

Son in Law, Adam...prepared a Wonderful Birthday Supper, for Liz....and all of us.

<3

Smoked, Locally Raised...Beef, and Pork, Sweet Corn, Cheesy Smoked Potatoes, Saute'ed Mushrooms, and Onions...{in Butter. : ) }along with All The Fixin's!!

Annabelle, Lilly, {Scarlett's little Pals, that spend Much Time.....with the Kids} and Scarlett, baked an

Amazing, 4 Layered Birthday Cake, for Liz...from Scratch. No Box's...: )

Even made the Delicious, Creamy...Dreamy... Frosting...from Scratch!!

: ) : ) : ) 

When I take the back roads...to Elberon, where the Kids live...

go by my childhood 'Happy Place'...just west of Keystone.

<3 

Just...off to the right, in the above image.

The House, and Buildings...are long...gone.

but...

somehow, I can still see them all...

standing so Proudly, and Welcoming.

<3 

The Kids...are Hooked on Vintage Cast Iron Cooking.

; )

It's The Best!!!

That's ALL we've used...forever.

<3

Liz, and Adam...have put in Large Gardens.

They've been working so hard...on their Home...since The Iowa Hurricane.

<3

It's Beautiful.

<3

Told Adam, that I hope...he knows, he's living on a 'Slice...of Heaven'.

<3

He does.

<3

Adam brought Liz's little Rav Home, for Liz's Birthday.

All Fixed!

<3

The Rav, {Hillary} has been down for nearly 3 years.

Liz...blew her engine, while coming home...from work...one night.

: (

New Motor...New Tires...New...Much!!

: )

Liz...was Thrilled!!!

She could've bought something newer...but, Loves...that Little Rav.

: )

The Rav, reminds me of a Stout...little Wolf Spider.

: ) 

{I'll post a video..above of what those little old Ravs...can Do. ; ) 

Pretty Impressive.... for a Non...Ford. ; ) }

Little, But Mighty...when it comes to getting through Ditches, Mud, and Snow.

Liz, feels Safe...in The Rav.

That's a Blessing.

I see, Ford...has come out with a small SUV, 2021 Bronco Sport, that's very similar to the older Ravs.

Like It!!

<3

The Kids...took Hillary out, Ditch Climbing... putting her, through her Paces!!!

So Glad....She's Home!

It was a Happy Day.

Love to Ya.

Prayers, for All...
