I'm always struck by how anything built by Frank Lloyd Wright still seems just perfect today—beautiful and tasteful. I'm always up for an art museum, even if I don't like all of the art. (That "op" art messes with my eyes, too!) You and Tessa definitely have star quality—got it right on the first take! :-)))Laurel (www.ravenandchickadee.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09133248112440273123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035932613092671755.post-15507326951920936452016-08-30T15:11:30.242-07:002016-08-30T15:11:30.242-07:00The old churches and barns here are amazing - some...The old churches and barns here are amazing - some streets have five old stone or brick churches, just beautiful.
