Visitors



Yes, Myron & Ellen came to visit us - arrived a few hours after we did and were real good sports about the cold house. Here we are perched by the fire (note our new lamp and better seating arrangement). The house was OK - sort of - as long as we wore lots of clothes. We went out to breakfast Sunday morning, though, as eating in the dining room was too far from the fire. We were able to eat dinner there, though. Mont & I were toasty in our room as heat rises and the others all had electric blankets so we were fine at night, too.

What a GREAT picture!! Myron & Ellen look WONDERFUL!! Yep, I would have expected that they would have been "good sports" as I'm sure they would be used to "assorted winter surprises" :-)

Did you play games at all, hike some or?? Any animal visitors?
Do tell!

Everyone looks happy, though cold! Does that lamp match the chandelier and the kitchen pendant light?

It matches the entry scones - though they have clear white glass and this lamp a dusky brownish. It looks great in the room and the leaf design matches the ones in the foyer which can be seen from the great room, and the lamp from the foyer. I felt so blessed to find this one - and on sale too! It gives the amount of light we need and has several options on light level.

I didn't even try to match the chandelier because they aren't seen together and the chadelier has a disappointingly low level of light with the thick colored glass it has.

We took a walk Sunday after our big breakfast out at the Happy Valley cafe. Mom stayed home buyt we 4 walked a good long way. The ground was totally muddy and still snowy spots so no 'country' hikes. We all played dominos Sun eve to Gigi's delight.

No real animal visitors of note - just squirrel, chipmunk and footprints of elk & deer.
