Kohler Design Center

One more thing my grandpa made: a horse race for gambling. My grandpa was of the set that did football pools, dartball (Follow the link...it seems churches in the midwest have dartball leagues.) He made a dartball board that I think went on to a new home. And horseshoes. He was in a horseshoe league and won several trophies over the years, after he retired from the Kohler Company. I am sad to say I never saw him play this game, rolling the handcarved die to determine how far the horse moved, gambling on 'his horse'. After I graduated from college I visited Wisconsin less and less.

Speaking of Kohler, my mom had the good idea for us to visit the Kohler Design Center.

The first floor was a showroom, full of designer bathtubs, showers, and backlit toilets, sinks, and tubs stacked floor to ceiling.



talk about half-nekkid Thursday:



The second floor had designer showcases. Rich bathrooms, cutting edge kitchens.



The basement floor was a history of the Kohler Company...next post.
