My grandfather made me a small trunk and hand painted some of the rosemaling on it. In the town where my mom grew up there is also a large dala horse (about two stories high!) - which always made me really happy. I think there is also a water tower, but I forget :)juliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03430859813252772852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011065784593076627.post-15989593945487980632010-03-31T10:57:14.405-04:002010-03-31T10:57:14.405-04:00wow chelsea, what a cool thing to hand down to her...wow chelsea, what a cool thing to hand down to her grandkids!<br><br>julia, your mom is from mora? i grew up about an hour and a half from there. i would really like to do an all minnesota roadtrip with the fam soon, i'm pretty sure doug would love it!ellybethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00335353143797528543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011065784593076627.post-38563541628797014722010-04-01T00:02:15.745-04:002010-04-01T00:02:15.745-04:00I love that water tower!

The drive to my friend's cabin passed right through Lindstrom and that tower was always such a sight to see. <br>I never realized how immersed MN was in Scandinavian culture until I moved away.
