And Thursday came.

A very cold morning, but here at The Center it's always a pretty day!

Forgetting my camera on the day of the luncheon, I can hardly wait to get into The Lodge to take pictures of the tree.

Inside, The Lodge sings Christmas!

Beautiful colors of the season.

A meditative corner with St. Francis.

Every summer, Blanche presses the beautiful Queen Anne's Lace flowers for the ornaments on the forthcoming winter's tree. 500 of them!



A nine-foot beauty!

Don't you agree?

Outside, it continues to snow. But inside we had our trading card exchange and a wonderful pot luck lunch. Happy Holidays everyone!

The sunshine is so beautiful in the bitter winter weather! Lovely place to visit!

Just gorgeous! Love those Queen Anne Lace ornaments--how is that done? They would be perfect for my tree (next year).

It is the most lovely place, Doris.

Marge - Blanche collects the blooms (500 of them - I have to add that) in the summer, presses them in many phone books. Then later sprays them white and sprinkles them with glitter.
