| River Rest Condos Club House - Franklin, TN |
I had a great time these past six days celebrating Christmas with my sisters and other Louisiana family and friends. I posted a few IPhone photos to Facebook which you saw if you are one of my Facebook friends. Now I am headed home to stay until January 10 when I depart on my first 2016 Amtrak adventure. A winter trip from New Orleans through Chicago, Denver, Salt Lake City to Emeryville(San Francisco) riding the City of New Orleans and the California Zephyr. Hoping for lots of snow to view from my warm safe sleeping car room as I cross the Colorado Rockies and the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Since my destination is HOME, here are a couple photos of my home area. The clubhouse photo above is just across from my driveway entrance and was built in the 1800's.

Pardon the Duplicate Email December 26 - If you received an email overnight December 26 featuring my trip to New Orleans this past May, it was a Feedburner goof. On December 26 I deleted the one picture IPhone post I posted to cover my mistake leaving that picture out of my previous day post. I am guessing Feedburner decided I made another blog update so it found a post from the 26th day of a month. The May 26th blog update of my New Orleans trip apparently was the nearest post with a 26 date - May 26. A couple of you send me complimentary comment emails and my family in Louisiana asked me what was up. Anyway, sorry. And if you enjoyed checking out my photos again, I'm happy.
