Carol, Timothy, Laurin & Rosy

This is my friend, Carol, and her grandkids, Timothy and Laurin. They visited Rosy when she was at the Pierce County Fair in Ellsworth, Wisconsin.
Carol and I sat next to each other in Turid Helle Fatland's week-long rosemaling class at Vesterheim in Decorah, Iowa this summer. We learned lots of interesting stuff.
Thanks for the photo, Carol!!!!

No Cake, drop it!

Thank You Wendell Matzke!

If you know Wendell you are lucky. Wendell is a "can-do" guy with a calm demeanor and a business-like approach to solving any transportation puzzle. Wendell volunteered to transport Rosy from Park Printing House to the mooternity ward barn she called home until the tour started. This was no small feat: one life-sized, painted cow and one slightly jittery artist made 2 unusual passengers in one of Wendell's transport vans. Wendell made it all seem easy.


This is Wendell driving one of his aLift vans.









And, thank you Reggie for making Wendell aware of Rosy's unusual transportation need:-)
