On the way home from MN, we went down to Iowa for Mom's Miller family reunion in Kalona. We made a slight detour and stopped in Lakefield, MN and toured the Cozy Heat Fireplace manufacturing plant which is a line of stoves that we sell in the stove shop. That night we slept in the Lake Okojobi area in northwestern, IA. The next day we drove on to the reunion in southeastern IA and had a nice time connecting with Jolene's aunts & uncles. Not too many cousins were there so we were very glad that Bill & Tammi and 3 of their kids were there too.
Mom's family had the most people represented.
9 of the 12 living siblings were present.
We went to the house where Mom lived as a girl for lunch.
On the way home, we stopped at Antique Archaeology from the show American Pickers since it was not far out of the way. The show itself is much more interesting then the actual shop was, but it was kinda cool to say we've been there.
LeClaire, IA (near Davenport and along the Mississippi River)
