Advent One Plus

Advent 1 - December 1

Xyra's Note

Where did October and November go??  Actually, once we go to the October Coolspring Expo, it's Halloween.  But Halloween seems like yesterday and here we are at December 1.  Wow!  November flew by even with Thanksgiving late in the month.  So here we go with 24 days to Christmas and 30 days left in 2024.  Advent is a time of hope - we hope to post almost every day this month to catch up and head into the new year.

Advent 1: Quilt Meditation - Begin

Our church Advent series has a quilt focus and we were asked to bring special quilts to share.  I took the lovely quilts Lady Grey made for us.  Xyra took the one Lady Dartia made for her and Franz.

Looking Back - July:  Flowers, Porch Sitting, and a Visit to Chibi Cafe Co.

It was cold and windy today, a high of 37F - BRRRR!  Loved looking at these photos and remembering how nice and warm it was in July this year. 

These were such lovely flowers. 

Bev enjoyed the porches.

Lanie had her first visit to Chibi Cafe Co.

Star got a new bathing suit!

Hoping your Advent is filled with love and fun preparations for the holidays to come.

Thank you for being with us!  Come again soon!

Coolspring June 2024

Getting in June Recap Before October Show!

Five Days of Fun!

Must confess, Melody and the others helped me with my report.  I'm not dearly this confident in identifying what was what!  Had a really great time exploring the museum grounds.  So any live, working exhibits!

We left early Wednesday.  It was an interesting trip and arrival.  After dinner, I took a tour around the grounds. 

Thursday Visitors

Thursday morning, Flo and Josh arrived.  

We checked out the progress on the new building on the hill.

Then hit the other buildings on the hill.  We made a Princess Bride connection in the Friends building.  Can you guess the quote from the photos?

Tooling around the grounds; Josh didn't mind my driving.  

We stopped at Sudlow Station for a drink.  Sadly, then it was time for them to head home.  Always fun making new friends.

Friday

Fabulous ice cream!

More exploration!  

I was invited and given permission for the following photos.  The engine had not and was not running!

Saturday

Craft day!  Check out this cue plant!

And more exploration!  There is so much to see here between the main engine building and the surrounding buildings.

This was the original doctor's office.  

The doctor?  The first Dr. Harvey―the current Dr. Harvey's father.  Isn't that cool?  The current Dr. Harvey celebrated his 80th birthday this year!

Sunday

Packing up and going home. 

Who do you think will be going in October...two days from now? 😍

Stop by again soon!
