Winter White Christmas

It is not unusual …for it to snow here in Illinois, but it has been a couple of years since we’ve had that…*Winter White Christmas*.

Just a short walk around my yard with my camera, on Christmas Day…shows you just how beautiful a *Winter White Christmas* is.

The Osage Inn

My friends and I  took a journey back in time  at The Osage Inn,last Monday. Osage Inn is a lovely restored, Civil War era log house. It is furnished in Antiques(with a capitol A), with just the right amount of modern amenities, a peaceful retreat…We had the log cabin completely to ourselves,on our over~nite stay.

I’m posting pictures that I hope will show you the country retreat in all it’s Glory.

HOME

We are home safe,not too sure how sound we are…Hubby did a terrific job of driving us home Sunday…our day started out around 4:30am and ended by pulling into the drive about 11:35pm…worn~out and tired, but home safe…besides my sister falling out backwards of her son’s pick~up truck and breaking at least 5 ribs…I felt driven to get home…a phone call Monday morning revealed… why. My aunt had passed on Sunday evening…so a funeral today, and now,please,maybe back to a somewhat normal life???? Haven’t had a chance to set~up pics of my treasures,I found on my trip to Texas…but I will slip in a pic of our home away from home…and maybe tomorrow will lend it’s self in favor of TREASURES….

until next time…
