Take Me Home Country Roads
Hello everyone! I've been away for a short trip to West Virginia and thought I would share a bit about my trip. The main reason for my trip was to attend a memorial service for my sister who passed away one year ago. The memorial service was given by the Hospice group who cared for her during her final illness and it was a lovely service for all of the Hospice patients who had passed this last year. Above, you see the flowers that were placed next to her picture and candle and then presented to the family. I'm so glad I went as it was a very healing service for me.
The Mr. and I were able to connect with some of our family and friends while in West Virginia. Above, you can see a beautiful rose that was blooming, among many roses, at a park in Huntington, WV where we visited with our niece, Aubrey, and her family. Aubrey gave us a tour of Huntington and showed us her beautiful home while we were there.
We also stopped by to visit longtime friends, Rex and Natalie, and I asked their permission to photograph some of their lovely Fall decor both inside and outside their home. Their front porch was so welcoming when we arrived!
Natalie described to me how she had watched the glass pumpkins being handblown. Such wonderful keepsakes!
More beautiful glass pumpkins here and notice the pretty cut glass dishes, as well. Great tablescape accents!
I like the sign above the antique piano which, if I am recalling correctly, is well over 120 years old!
Fall and pumpkins certainly do bring happiness!
So many things to be thankful for!
This trip to WV felt especially good to me and I am glad I was able to make the trip. The drive up was especially beautiful with the spectacular Fall colors on the trees! I hope wherever you are that you are enjoying a wonderful Fall as well. Let me know in the comments what you have done to enjoy the Autumn season, okay? I so enjoy hearing from you!
Until Next Time,
Debbie

Thanks for sharing the lovely antique furniture in this post along with the wall decor. I grew up with very similar furniture and have always loved it.

We enjoyed our trip to WVa also. I was born in Huntington and always enjoyed the rose garden at Ritter Park.
I enjoyed this post about your trip to West Virginia. It's nice that you were able to enjoy the beauty of fall colors as you traveled. I'm glad the service was healing for you and that you also had time to spend with family and friends. I have been enjoying the vibrant colors with a drive on the parkway and even getting out to do simple errands. It's nice to go around a turn in the road just to be surprised by a brilliantly colored tree.
