After breakfast I went over to Kathy’s for a planning meeting – we’re trying to plan a little get-a-way somewhere! We thought Gettysburg but the only weekend we can go is not going to work with the schedule there. Newport is too far away to plan a spur of the minute trip. Biltmore has nothing available for the weekend we want. So, we started looking local and decided on a tour of the Oglebay Mansion. We’re still open to local suggestions – maybe a candlelight tour at Compass Inn!
But now to the Open House. Lisa closed up the shutters and lit candles and lanterns in the tavern. There were lanterns along the pathway to the other buildings.
Several people contributed to the savory food – sausage, cheese, pickles, ham, meatballs, crackers. It was all delicious and everyone really enjoyed the event. Amber and Tom were serving in the bar – two kinds of beer, mulled wine, and cider.
No numbers!
Although I didn’t get pictures of the shop, the sweets were offered up there. They had homemade jelly (which is for sale in the shop) with crackers. Snickerdoodles, pumpkin bread, and two kinds of beer bread, which are sold as mixes in the shop as well.
We had so many opportunities to share information about the history of Hanna’s Town, their continuing programs, and the upcoming Three Centuries of Christmas. It’s a wonderful site and it’s exciting to see it so well received.
Tomorrow I’ll post about the movie – Deb and I went to see BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER. Great movie!
My blessing for today was having a delicious lunch with my lovely sister! Thank you, Kath!
PEANUTS Thought for the Day:
TOMORROW November 9th is:
British Pudding Day; Chaos Never Dies Day; National Pool Day; Go to an Art Museum Day; National Scrapple Day; World Freedom Day.
Yesterday’s fake day was National Fireplace Day. Tomorrow: I’ll agree with the Chaos statement! And celebrate freedom always. God bless.
