While visiting her I have also visited Anamosa a few times. I have two blogs about items I found interesting in Anamosa, Iowa <a href="http://jimmiehov.blogspot.com/search?q=Anamosa%2C+Iowa" rel="nofollow"><strong>(Jim's Anamosa, Iowa, visits blog report (link)</strong></a>).<br /><br />We drove past Wood's birthplace but did not go in. There was quite a bit to see on the grounds.<br /><br />I like his 'Arbor Day' painting the best. The school house portrayed is built like the one I attended for grades 1-8. And we students also planted trees on Arbor day.<br />..Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8047796661200159328.post-24422840474146831862012-11-23T18:05:04.510-08:002012-11-23T18:05:04.510-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8047796661200159328.post-92083837985595569742012-11-23T17:57:08.671-08:002012-11-23T17:57:08.671-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8047796661200159328.post-82202225301270619212012-11-22T18:28:19.744-08:002012-11-22T18:28:19.744-08:00Interesting post!
