Who says growing older means growing less curious?

Certainly not these residents of Heritage House, a WesleyLife community for healthy living in Atlantic, Iowa! Their latest adventure took them to Elk Horn, Iowa, to meet Fjord Ferryman, a 22-foot wooden troll created by Danish artist Thomas Dambo from reclaimed materials. The larger-than-life sculpture celebrates the story of Danish immigrants who crossed an ocean and made new homes on the Iowa prairie.

As these residents would attest, one of the great things about life at any age is discovering the weird, wonderful, unexpected things hiding practically in your own backyard!

Danish Bakery Symbol/Traditional Wienerbroth (Viennese Bread)
Baker's guilds in Europe have used the kringle or pretzel as a symbol for centuries. It is told (but currently
unconfirmed by historic documents), that when Vienna was besieged by the Turkish Ottoman armies in 1529, local
bakers working at night, gave the city defence an early warning of the attacking enemy. For this, they were later
rewarded by the Pope, with permission to use a crown as part of their kringle guild symbol. For unknown reasons, the
guild in Denmark is now the only baker's guild in the world with official authority to display a royal crown as part of
their baker's guild trade symbol. In Denmark, the kringle (with a royal crown) is one of only a few ancient guild signs
still in use today and a traditional golden kringle sign is often hung outside of bakery shops. (Wikipedia)

In keeping with our new sign we are changing the shape of our letters to the pretzel shape. Please see the picture below.

The letter has the same great taste that you have always loved. Let us know your thoughts.
