A view of the play house cottage on the river that runs next to the Precious Moments park just outside of Joplin, Missouri. This cottage was built by the creator of Precious Moments for his children to have a place to play. It is no longer accessible to the public, and is no longer played in, as the river floods with heavy rain making it dangerous and messy. The caretakers will go and mow the grass if able, but at the time of this image, they hadn’t as the river had only recently receded.
