How can we focus on writing the blog when Westminster is on? Two of our favorite breeds are up for Best in Show!
 
We did an extended tour of Frank Lloyd Wright’s home and architectural school Taliesin, in Spring Green, in the beautiful Driftless district of southern Wisconsin. We saw the school, several smaller houses, the farm buildings, and then the enormous (27,000 square foot) main complex. We’ve seen many Wright houses designed for others, but it was fascinating to see his own home. Ironically the interior was less strictly controlled than what he expected of his clients. Many of the objects Wright collected in Asia are among the furnishings.

​The truss work of the large drafting studio in the school was particularly interesting.

And the Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen (PBGV) takes Best in Show! YAY BUDDY HOLLY!

Thanks for your posts. I'm really enjoying your trip vicariously. Will you have time to check out the Bronze Fonz in Milwaukee?

Any time tollers are not up for Best in Show, I think there's a glitch.

Given how many dogs you've lived with, your loyalty to your current breed is impressive. The Toller was a beauty, but I prefer Val's markings.
