NEAT OLD HOUSES, BARNS AND INTERESTING THINGS IN GARDEN CITY, MO.


WOULD MAKE A FUN PLACE TO CREATE IN!
I'M ON A HUNT FOR JUST THE RIGHT CITY HOUSE AND COUNTRY HOUSE TO DRAW FOR MY STORYBOOK LONGNECK COUSINS TO LIVE IN!  DECIDED TO DRIVE AROUND TOWN AND TAKE A FEW PICTURES OF THE NEAT OLD PLACES, AND THEN SHARE THEM WITH YOU TOO!


THIS BEAUTY HAS JUST AS NEAT AN OUTHOUSE CLOSE BY!

HOW CUTE IS THIS, OF COURSE UNLESS IT'S ALL YOU'VE GOT!

OLD LIMESTONE BOUNDARY MARKERS! THERE  ARE LOT OF THESE IN THE OLD PART OD TOWN!

IN TOWN DELIVERY!

BIG BEAUTIFUL CRAPE MYRTLE BUSHES

GRAPE VINES

PRETTY NEW FLORAL PAINTING ON THE FLORIST WINDOW!

THE OLD HOTEL FLORIST

LOOK WHAT I SPIED IN THE THRIFT STORE!

HOW NOSTALGIC!  VERY SIMILAR TO THE ONE IN MY CHILDHOOD HOME! WOULD BE TEMPTED EXCEPT FOR THE PRICE TAG!

HERE ARE THE 3 COUNTRY COUSINS AND 3 CITY COUSINS WAITING TO SEE WHAT THEIR HOME WILL LOOK LIKE.

DAVEY CORNER / HOSPITAL FUND RAISER FUN

Youngest grandson "Davey Corner" The little stool I made for him when he was just a little guy. I painted his little red boots and cowboy hat on it. so glad I did because the boots were suppose to come to grandma, but they got away! The black boots were favorites of years later. The painting on the wall is of Davey's treehouse  built  by grandpa for his 5th Birthday.

Necklace I made out of sari ribbons

The terrific volunteer band made up hospital personnel and local talent and directed by retired school band director

Here we are at the Archie Baptist Table.

Two of my favorite volunteers, Cricket and Norma.

Just clowning around!

The balloons were my favorite decorations!

So clever!

So Cute!

Outstanding!

These paintings were my contribution to the silent auction. I'm shown with friend Carole Lynne one of the hospital trustees.
