(Graduated 7th in her class!) 

A barbecue at her brother's house 
during a rainstorm.  (It's a bit crowded 
on the back porch.) 

Robin and Mr. Varner hit it off. 

It's been a long time since VJ had 
a big brother looking over her. 

Four generations of Varners unite! 
(A profusion, a surfeit, a plethora of relatives.) 

Another adorable family!  They're the first 
baby cygnets born in the area since 1900. 

Robin gets treated at an old-time soda 
fountain downtown.  Lime rickey, anyone? 

VJ's family standing in a cornfield. 
(Why? Cuz VJ told them to.) 

Robin discovers Australian trolley cars 
of all things waiting to be refurbished here. 

Ida Grove's jewel in the crown. 
(Admit it -- this is the prettiest 
Pizza Hut you've ever seen.) 

Robin finds it efficacious to re-fuel 
at VJ's parents' convenience mart

Here's Robin -- out standing in his field (ar ar).
(He enjoyed Iowa a lot.)
