Dear Marge, First day, first meal, first Post Card, first menu! The menu alone was four pages - this doesn't include the wine list or the cocktail list.  It was one of the biggest problems of my life.  We started with burgundy ($1:00 a glass) - then Onion soup and for the entrée, a combination of crab meat and ham cooked in butter.  I finished with Cherries ice cream & rum. P.S. The Coffee was good too. Hungry?

Pottery Maker

The Hopi Indians are descendants of the prehistoric people who occupied this region over 1000 years ago, and are considered the best of all Indian pottery makers.  They use the same designs: many of them symbolic, as their prehistoric ancestors.  The Hopi snake Dance, held each year in August, Is a weird and thrilling ceremony.

Only in Illinois one time.  I really enjoyed my visit to Chicago
and its Post Card Show.  Springfield was a very nice stop also to see Lincoln's Tomb and the Capitol building.

Pueblo Indian Women

Making Pottery is an art the Pueblo Indians inherited directly from their ancestors, the Prehistoric Cliff Dwellers.  A basket or piece of old pottery is used as a foundation form.  The clay is smoothed down by the fingers as shown in this illustration.  After drying it is ready for decorations and then firing.

This old farmhouse was built and originally occupied by Captain Joseph Gardner in the early part of the 19th century.  After four years of labor-one year on the foundation alone, the house was completed (1804) built entirely from timber grown on the property.  The old shed, now the dining room, is part of the original structure.  The mural in the reception room, found under layers of wallpaper, are the well preserved paintings of Rufus Porter made before he became famous as an inventor and publicist.  These are some of the most complete and important so far discovered.  It I said he earned his board and room while attending college by painting murals on the walls of early America homes.
