So .... I had a great day Monday. I had lunch with a dear friend. I gave a speech on Buy Fresh-Buy Local to a garden club. And I had a few minutes so I stopped at a little antique shop.
Evil, evil place. It made me part with money. My money.
But ......... it was soooooo worth it.
Ok .... a little about me that you may not know. I like maps. I like antique maps. But the maps have to have meaning to me.
I am browsing through the shop. I went back to look at a charming apron made from feed sacks. And a rack of magazine and sheet music caught my eye. And there ..... was a page from an old plat book. Advertisements for New Dixon Iowa. Hmmmmmm? That is just down the road a piece. Then there were advertisements and pictures from Long Grove. More hmmmm.
Then tucked behind the $175 colorful map of Scott County was this township map.

So, if anyone ever tells me where to go ............. I will know how to get home!
