Museums
This tree at the Hasting Museum, which they hid down in the “basement” had the most interesting ornaments of any of the other trees. The ornaments were either decorated or made from beads.
I do not need another craft, especially one that requires handling tiny beads and thin wires. The Midwest Beaders should be proud of their beautiful work.
For the past 36 years, the Hasting Museum in Nebraska has hosted a Festival of Trees event where schools and organization decorate trees to displays. Below are a few of the trees.
I do not know the official name of this tree at the Stuhr Museum, but I am calling it the Carpenters Tree. It gets a special mention because of the uniqueness of the decorations.
At first, all you really see is Home Deport cards. If you look closers, you will see ornaments made from nails and screws.
Also, on the tree is wood panels each paint with a different design.
Each year the Stuhr Museum host a tree display. The trees are decorated by schools and local organizations. Below are a few of the 2018 trees:
Pictures of all the trees are available on my Photos By Sarah Facebook page. Also, you can find 360 Videos of some of the trees: East Side – West Side.
If the sky are blue and the wind isn’t blowing, it is possible to enjoy the outside in 25 degrees without your nose and fingers freezing.
I visited the local museum to view their Christmas displays. On the wall were hanging copies of various artwork from 100+ years ago. Most visitors probably ignored these pieces, but the detail the artists put into these drawings are amazing. Artwork like this probably helped shape how we currently view the Holiday season.
I found these work of art at the Rural Life Museum today.
I just don’t know where Biloxi ends and Gulfport begins. Or, vise versa if you are coming from the west.
Sunny day on Alabama’s gulf coast.
I spent less than 24 hours in Branson, Missouri. It was a stop as I headed south. Even though, I did not see any shows I did see some interesting items.
The first stop was the wax museum. Why is Jeannie so interesting? I just spent the last nine months with the TV tuned to I Dream of Jeannie to keep the morning news from ruining the day.
I did find some interesting items at Ripley’s Believe It Or Not.
The fountain at the Branson Landing were entertaining. A relaxing ending to a busy day.
Krispy Kreme Donuts!!!! Notice the sign that indicated HOT Donuts. As soon as I walked in the door the worker handed me a HOT donuts. That was the best donut that I have eaten in the past decade.
