Across The Fence, by Howard Sherpe, available at Lena & Ole’s Gifts

  Across the Fence by Howard Sherpe is now available for purchase from Lena. The book is $14.95.  Howard writes "Across the Fence" as a weekly column in the "Woodville Leader" and many other newspapers around the midwest.  He writes about his experiences growing up on a dairy and tobacco farm near Westby, Wisconsin, the sights, sounds, and smells of nature, everyday life — past, present, and future. It will make a great gift for someone who grew up in a small town or on the farm or just appreciates vivid writing.  We also have his second book Across the Fence and Down Country Roads with more of his great stories.  If you are looking for a perfect gift for that hard-to-buy for dad or grandpa who was raised in the country, in a small town, or on a farm — this is the perfect gift.  We also have Howard's third book:  Across the Fence and Back to the Country.  These last two books are only $16.00 and can be ordered by calling Lena at 414-745-4362.

Howard is the creator of the Lena & Ole figures seen at Lena & Ole's Gifts in Woodville.  Lena and Ole (renamed from their original names Julia & Oscar Hanson) were the grandparents of Julie Backus (owner of Lena & Ole's Gifts) and of Howard.   

We also have Howard’s newest book #4, with a special picture of my great-grandfather’s shed on the front — call today to order!
