When the Icon visited the Schumacher Homestead on June 3 for a brief lesson in pen and ink writing, it was almost as if time stood still. The parlor was filled with period furniture from the 1800s and photos of the Schumacher family surrounded us. The five docents who were there to greet guests--Nancy and Ed Yeager, Ivan and Rachel Friesen, and Keith Sommer--were dressed in period garb.
A reminder that time had not in fact stood still? The room was deliciously cool thanks to air conditioning in the house.
You'll find an updated menu for Lulu's Diner in Bluffton HERE, as well as menus for Icon advertisers The Dough Hook Meat Market, Greenhorn, Kira's Flipside Grill and Twisted Whisk Cafe.
