@marlboromaam Clare knew of FLW before I did. Together we went to the Meyer May house in Grand Rapids, Michigan — https://meyermayhouse.steelcase.com/ —for my first FLW experience and I was hooked. When we visited the Dana-Thomas house in Springfield, Illinois — https://dana-thomas.org/ where I had a photography disaster and no photos — I overheard one of the gift shop employees say that going to Fallingwater is an almost-spiritual experience if you're a FLW fan. He isn't wrong. It's an amazing place. It was the first trip we took after Clare's dad passed away (2005) and was the beginning of our resolve to start work on the bucket list before time got short.
@rhoing Good for you with the bucket list! Not a bad place to start with these FLW houses. Now if I started on my list, number one would be NFR in Vegas, followed by NCG in Elko, and the old west ghost towns in Arizona and New Mexico. =)
