RPPC Scenery WHO Was Scheuer? by Mary Katherine May

There are a few scenic photographic image postcards available on the internet for purchased created by a person named SCHEUER. Just this weekend, I picked up two real picture postcards (RPPH) in a quaint town near Rochester, Minnesota where the Mayo Clinic is located, by the name of Mantorville. Should you be in the Rochester area, I suggest visiting Mantorville. There is some historic interest, a few shops, a lunch spot with fabulous sandwiches, and the famed Hubble House.

Then, if you still have a few moments to spare, continue south about three miles into Kasson, MN, where there is a fabulous, old-fashioned five-and-dime on Main Street that is called, simply... Variety Store, that is a fun browse. While there, you just may be able to buy a few inexpensive raffle tickets and have a chance to win a locally made quilt, for which the winning name will be drawn during the Dodge County Fair.
