     This past May we made a trip to Spring Green, Wisconsin, to tour Talieson, the home of Frank Lloyd Wright.  We had read Loving Frank and wanted to explore the background of that book and Wright's life.  We had such a great time that we would like to do more excursions that would tie-in with our books.

     We would be happy to have you join us if you are interested in reading and discussing good books.
