Over the weekend, Lance and I visited the Frontier Culture Museum in Staunton, Virginia, where historians and interpreters have restored authentic German, Scots-Irish, English, and Appalachian farmsteads with the hopes of illustrating the fusion of European cultures into a uniquely American one. At the German farmstead, I made a new friend--Greta the Polish-crested hen! She was just like Henny! She let me pick her up and pet her, she cooed affectionately, and she instinctively knew that following us around probably meant that she was going to get a snack. Unfortunately, the German farmer was quite attached to her, so it was impossible for me to "accidentally" sneak her into my purse!
