HAPPY THANKSGIVING

It's almost turkey day!!!!! Remember sometime back in another post I went to the Pine Mountain Fair???

Well I got to go back this past Friday to the Fall potluck and square dance,This is held every year about a week before Thanksgiving...I always look so forward to it,This is the old settlement school where I attended for a time...The above pic is what they call the Laurel House,This is where we ate our breakfast and lunch while attending school here...

This is the stairs leading up to the dining hall...

This is part of the dinning hall..The fireplace is beautiful...and the wood work to...
The staff here put up a huge Christmas tree by the fire place at Christmas time...and yes I said Christmas tree not Holiday tree...

This is the huge dining room..

Another view from a small landing up stairs..

Something that is really cool is each of the tables (square and round) makes a chair like the one below...

There are several quilts that hang in the hall..

The huge windows make the whole place really open..

They told me that this was Miss Pettit's bed,She was one of the founders of the school back in 1913....

That is an old bed...

And also there are many articles here at the school that was used for sewing and spinning and many other things..Remember it was a full functional school way back when...

There are so many things to say and tell of this place that there is just not enough time and space....Just wanted you to see a little of what I do and am interested in around this time of year...And I plan on going back to see the live nativity in December.....

And oh yeah the food was plentiful and the square dancing was awesome...fun was had by all...young and old alike...


Ya'll take care and have a great Thanksgiving!!!!!!!
