We had a wonderful time this week end in Warsaw, Missouri for the Kaysinger Christmas located at the Truman dam Visitor Center. I drove the hay ride both days and Kim worked in the Hooper House sharing hot Cider and Cookies. The beautiful valley transformed in to a magnificent warm era gone by thanks tho the hundreds of candle luminaries and oil lamps that were hung along the trail and in the windows of the buildings. The food barn was closed in and transformed in to a quaint little cafe serving ham and beans, corn bread, chilly. The rich aroma of coffee mixed with the fragrance of sweet hot chocolate and cider to tantalize every one that was dropped off to enjoy the pioneer Christmas experience. The comforting sounds of carolers filed the school house and the surrounding woods. The temperature was chilly but the warm atmosphere and Christmas spirit mixed with the smell of wood smoke from the stoves sure kept every one warm. If you haven't heard about our little Christmas experience before I hope you will keep a watchful eye for it next year, I will have it on my calendar when I get it on my web page or you can go to www.warsawpioneerheritagedays.com and get the information along with dates for Heritage days which is held in October.
