T Stands For Tuesday & Toured a Cave

   Hi everyone,

  Tuesday brings us to T with our hostess Bluebeard and Elizabeth-find link in my side bar. Only requirement to join in is to share a drink related photo.

  My sister in law was at her lake house for a week or so, and her husband drove in Wednesday evening for the Thanksgiving weekend, he needed to get back to his vet clinic Monday morning.

  One day she wanted to know if I wanted to bum around with her. She doesn't like the country decor in her new lake house so she has been selling that off, and also changing up furniture pieces to make better use of their small space. One of the "big cities" near me that serves this area of the lake (an hour away) is Osage Beach-it really has everything-including all the chain stores, restaurants etc and 4 lane highways and traffic-ugh not for me unless I am the passenger haha.

   The one little shop that was really nice selling antiques had the perfect thing for our Elizabeth. Melanie took a photo for me with her smart phone This horse had me smiling when I saw it.


  That same day we also hiked a bit at Ha Ha Tonka State park so it was a busy day.

   Over the weekend I went with her and her family to visit Jacob's Cave in Versailles, Mo. Missouri is known for it's numerous caves, this one is the largest I believe. I enjoyed the tour, we had a fun guide, but this cave was not as pretty as Bridal Cave in Camdenton, Mo but it is easier to walk through.


This is me, this is a piece that had broken off and we passed it around to guess how heavy it was. I guessed 30 pounds and it was 34 so I was the closest.  I guessed 30 because now that I am older 25 pounds is my limit  We were in a very small group which was nice, but I decided to wear my mask


This piece has two faces in it



Melanie, my sister in law, loves to get people into all the photos-she insisted I get in this one 😀


This photo shows the person's signature and date (Jacob Craycraft in the 1800's)  that the cave was discovered. This cave is still in the same family


Missouri has a fault line for earthquakes, the tour guide talked allot about earthquake damage to this cave.

   We have been enjoying a gorgeous full moon over the weekend. I captured these photos with my little tree







 For my beverage reference I am sharing our Thanksgiving day wine again


and while working at the computer I am drinking a cup of green tea with lemon


   Since last week I am still hand stitching up the hexies-my goal right now is to complete one rosette a day.  This is what I completed so far.


Happy T everyone
