Field trip????

Ladies,
I am very nearly the perfect wife in so many ways. But there is one area in which I am lacking. It is a skill I don't possess, but if I was proficient at it, it would make my husband so very, very happy. I think you know what I'm talking about. You guessed it: Pie making.
Laura has recently interviewed this fascinating author and pie maker, Beth Howard. She hosts pie-making parties/tutorials in the world-famous American Gothic House. The party includes a tour of the house and the chance to take our own pitch-fork toting photo in front.

 It's in Eldon, Iowa, a mere four and a half hour drive from Batavia.
I have oodles of vacation time and not a lot of money to go on an actual vacation. Anyone up for a road trip????

  1. My unpaid writers vacation time has yet to be scheduled this summer. An Iowa road trip may be about all I could afford and sounds fabulous! I would love to go. Please keep me posted.

  3. I LOVE this idea. A pie trip sounds so great. It's looking like late July or early August for me.
