We're off to the mountains for a few days with two of our grandchildren..



LuAnn's Christmas Gift...

022 


 My two nephews got this sled for LuAnn for Christmas.  Isn't it great?


023


LuAnn asked me what I would do with it and my first thought is to use it for a headboard.  What do you think?

Little snippets from Paul and LuAnn's Farmhouse

 005


This was a picture that my mother had.



006 


 This was a calendar from my parents dairy that the used for promotion in 1961.  Unfortunately, I don't have one of these.  I almost put it in my suitcase.


007


This is the cherry corner cupboard that came from my parents house.  The glassware collection is just some that LuAnn has.


008 


I think this little cupboard is a reproduction but I love it.


 010 


 They have three great windows over their counters and sink.  Along the way....more sheep.


009


More of the windows. 


011


Some cows and plants. 


012


These are the windows by their kitchen table for four.  I love these tiny sheep. 


013


The guestroom bed faces this book shelf.  These sheep looked over me all night.  Needless to say, I slept great while I was there.  I was really tempted to take these sheep home.  I thought about hiding them.....but I didn't. 


014 


 One of LuAnn's friends got her this.


016 


How cute is this?


017


These are just a few of her Longaberger basket collection.  The couple on the shelf is of LuAnn's late parents. 


018 


 Isn't this quilt beautiful?


019


This is LuAnn's fireplace screen. 


 020


I'm not sure who the clock came from but the fireplace was built by my late brother John.


021 


This is my nephew Ben and his fiancee Chelsea.  They are going to be married in September.


Tomorrow you'll get to see what LuAnn got for Christmas.


Hugs,


Gretchen
