Tom Sawyer land

I picked up a copy of Tom Sawyer while we were in Hannibal. I always pictured a small white picket fence -- but the photo here fits the old Norman Rockwell painting and in the book, Tom uses a long handled paint brush and the fence is nine feet tall. So I guess this is about right. Mark Twain's old house is on the left in the picture.

Today is Betty's birthday -- 85 (we think). Today I saw here dance down the stairs to the basement like a ballarina on tip toes-- then jog back up! Happy birthday young lady!
