Our front entrance needed a dog paw doorbell.

You must admit, it does make you smile.  Lots of giggles when folks reach to push the button.

It took many days for Zoey at accept the headless woman that came in the UPS box.

The bell tolls for us

This old bell comes from a steam powered railroad engine that Great-Grandpa Turre Sandstrom salvaged a long time ago.  The engine named "Edna Mae" after my Grandma by Grandpa is on display in Two Harbors Minnesota as part of the history display in the downtown park.  Railroads were a big part of developing upper Minnesota as the mines and lumber industries were created.
