I hope you all had a great Christmas,

I know I did! I said that my spirits

were lifted after I talked to my sister,

well, we spent Christmas together

for the first time, since the 60's or 

the 70's! My family is spread out

all over the U.S. and she lived in 

Oregon for a long time and now

she is back in Missouri....So, I hope

we can visit, more often. It was an

awful short visit, but it was wonderful!

 I did get some pictures going up 

and coming back.....This is not far

from where I live and we were way 

up on a ridge! It doesn't look like 

it is high up in the picture, like it

does with your eyes!

Still in the Kiamichi Mountains...

I loved this X in the sky!  My hubby

wanted to know if my sister lived under

it!...lol...Like X marks the spot!

I think this ridge is the one with the

tunnel, below. 

I can see daylight at the end of the

tunnel!

 This is not a good picture, but I was in a

hurry to see my sister and I didn't want to 

walk a long ways to get a better one!

I hope you weren't in MO, Angie, becaue

I will be mad that I didn't have time to

meet you!

I love all the rock in Missouri, we used

to go there to see my grandparents

when I was young. 

This is Tom, my sister's turkey....He

kept following us around and talking

to us and showing off.

 

On the way back home, in Osage, AR, 

there is a pottery shop, just off the

road we were on, so we stopped and

my hubby got a coffee mug....The 

potter said it was a general store

from 1901 until 1989...He has been

there a long time and lives next door.

I love the stacked stone on the side.

Have you ever heard of the War Eagle

craft show?  I wanted to go to it in 

October, but didn't get there, anyway

he said he has set up there for 33 yrs!

I love this picture, it reminds me 

of a folkart picture with the hills

going this way and that!

This was taken shortly after the pic,

above it....If you make the picture

bigger you might be able to see the

houses up on the ridge! I could have

cropped this picture, but then you 

wouldn't be able to see how high 

the ridge is....The trip was fast, we

went up on Saturday and back on 

Monday!  I have more pictures and

some of them are misty from a lot

of rain, that we ran into....

I want to thank you all for coming

along on the trip and thank you all

for following!  I love blogging and 

seeing what everyone is doing, how

you are decorating, what you are 

creating and so on....

I want to say Happy New Year

to you all and I hope the new year

brings you many blessings, good

health and many more friends thru

blogging! 

I forgot to have my giveaway at 

Christmas time, so I will have one

later on....What is up with that?

I guess it was because I was 

Bah Humbug!...lol....I am so glad 

that I got over that....Geese Louise!

Happy New Year!

Bear Hugs & Blessings~Karen
