Another Story About Us!

A nice afternoon on the Wisconsin side of Lake Pepin

BY STEVE DATE, TRYING TO PAY ATTENTION
July 15, 2011

We took a little drive yesterday down the Wisconsin side of Lake Pepin, which begins just over the bridge from Red Wing, Minnesota, about an hour southeast of the Twin Cities. Inspired by Emily and Kyle’s stories of trips to the “Pizza Farm” and a nice article in the Minneapolis StarTribune by Rick Nelson, we felt it was time to take a few hours to stop and visit a few places we had previously only sped past on trips to somewhere else.

A House Planted by Love


The house that writer Susan Alllen Toth and architect husband James Stageberg built--or shall we say "planted"--along the bluffs near Stockholm, Wisconsin.

This vibrant house is for sale and Stockholm would welcome anyone who claims it for their own. Hmm.. perhaps someone could buy it and rent it out as a romantic, rainbow getaway for newly-legalized marriages?

You could check out their book, "A house of one's own: an architect's guide to designing the house of your dreams / James Stageberg, Susan Allen Toth. Pack a picnic (see upcoming events here and location suggestions here) and take a look.
