Darwin had a beautiful rose garden at his home in Lindstrom where they lived for over 50 years. He enjoyed working in the yard and woodworking. Some of his projects included a doll cabinet, a cradle, and several varieties of Swedish stools. He also added a porch onto his home and built storage sheds, and remodeled a bathroom and family room at his daughter Cherol’s home. Darwin and Lois retired to Lake Wales in Florida for the winter months from December 1989 – April 2015. They enjoyed escaping from the Minnesota winters! They had many friends at Orange Acres Ranch in Florida.
