Historic Stella, WA

Today we went to Stella Historical Society’s Remnants of the Past. It was interesting to see all the old stuff but we mostly went to see the blacksmith, who just happens to be a kid in our youth group. Pretty cool, huh?

In the end, they made this really great hook that they gave us as a gift! Wow! I feel very blessed!
