I am the Queen

I am the Queen

Someone once gave me a princess magnet. One of my sons, when he was little, said, "that's you Mom, a princess." I quickly replied, "oh no, honey, I'm not a princess, I am the Queen!"

Farnsworth House ~ Mid-Century Marvel

I recently visited the Farnsworth House in Plano, Illinois. I seek out historical homes and house museums whenever I'm on vacation or passing through a city or town. This one, designed by Mies van der Rohe after World War II and built in 1951 is a hidden gem surrounded by corn fields. Really thousands of acres of corn. Dr. Farnsworth wanted to get … [Read more...]
