“I have swept away your offenses like a cloud,
your sins like the morning mist.
Return to me,
for I have redeemed you.”

I’ve seen signs for this historical sight in Thousand Oaks, California for a few years now and finally decided to stop and have a look. This historical information was copied from The Stagecoach Inn Museum Website.
The original Stagecoach Inn was called the Grand Union Hotel and it was built in 1876. It was moved from it’s original location closer to the Ventura Fwy. to this property further West on Ventu Park Road.
This is a collage of the Inn and the Schoolhouse built on the sight to portray a School from the 1890’s.
This schoolhouse built on the grounds is a replica of a 1890 Schoolhouse. The contents of the room and its dimensions were found in historical records.
The Tri-Village, made up of replicas of a pioneer home, a Spanish-Mexican adobe and a Chumash Ap (tule dwelling). It represents the three historic eras in the Conejo Valley.
No photos were allowed in the Museum itself but each room is filled with great histiorical period pieces some original to the Hotel or the owners over the years. There is one room full of gramophones and gramophone accessories. It really is worth a visit.
Thanks for stopping by and now I’m off to your Outdoors!

Here in Southern California we are still waiting for some good signs of Fall. Some Santana Winds and high temperatures are being forcast for the rest of the week . I am really looking forward to flying to Seattle on Friday evening and once I get there I hope to feel the cool, the cold, the crispiness of Fall!
Yesterday I drove out to my Niece and Nephew’s house to meet little Miss Grandniece for the first time. Big brother was oh so proud of this little bundle of pink and made sure to let me know that she was very little.
Such sweetness. We know she will be showered with lots of love!! Congratulations to Mom, Dad, Big Brother and Grandparents!!

My brother and SIL came over on Saturday and we did a little thrift store and antique store shopping. I found this little creamer at one of the antique stores so it wasn’t one of my usual bargains but I thought it was still an O.K. price. So I put down my $8.00 and walked away with the creamer.

Head over to Mary’s at Little Red House and join Mosaic Monday. It’s fun to see all the different themes and photos put together into a mosaic/collage.
This mosaic is from photos taken of our dinner table on Saturday. My brother and SIL came over for the day and dinner so I had fun coming up with this table setting. I’ll be showing more for Tablescape Thursday.
Have a good week everyone!

Be strong and courageous whate’er may befall,
We know our Redeemer will answer our call;
Tho’ sorrow and trials are weighing us down,
Yet hope looks away from the cross to the crown.
Refrain
From the cross to the crown let us follow our Lord,
From the cross to the crown let us cling to His Word;
Tho’ sorrow and trials are weighing us down,
Yet faith leads us on from the cross to the crown!
His cup of affliction was filled to the brim,
And are we not willing to suffer for Him?
The robe of His glory for us He laid down,
To show us the path from the cross to the crown.
Refrain
This life is a conflict, a battle with sin,
Yet trusting in Jesus thro’ grace we shall win;
The world may oppose us, the tempter may frown,
Yet faith leadeth on from the cross to the crown.
Refrain
Tho’ friends that are dearest have gone from our sight,
’Tis only to enter the mansions of light;
Their warfare is over, their burdens laid down,
How short was their path from the cross to the crown!
Refrain

It’s Friday and time for Friday’s Fave Five. Look back over this last week and choose 5 favorites in your week to share. Susanne at Living to Tell the Story is our hostess for this event and has Mr. Linky ready for you to join in.
Here are my five or so since last Friday.
1. On Saturday we had a family potluck to celebrate my parents 66th wedding anniversary. We took the time to share things we remembered about my mom and pop growing up. It was a good time of affirming mom and pop remembering their acts of love for each other and for us.
2. On Sunday Dear and I spent a few hours at the Rose Bowl Flea Market. It was a good time.
3. On Sunday night Dear and I began a 13 week course at our church called The Truth Project. Judging from the material and caliber of teaching from the first night we are really in for some growth and learning with this material.
4. I finished a project this week that gave me a lot of relief. My high school scrapbook was falling apart and I bought a new book to re-do the whole thing. It was good to get the project finished.
5. On September 17th we were blessed with the arrival of our latest family member. My niece Michelle gave birth to our little grand niece, Avery! We are so excited for Ryan, Michelle and Jackson on their new little family member. Congrats to the grandparents, too!
I’m adding a #6 not so important but fun for me…I’m enjoying watching some of my favorite reality t.v. shows. Top Chef, Project Runway, Biggest Loser, and now Survivor! Russell is so evil. I hope they figure that out soon.
I’m off to our first Women’s Bible Study session this a.m. bright and early because I’m a table leader. I’ll catch up with y’all later today. Have a great Friday!!

Time to visit Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for more tablescapes from around the Sphere.
Oopsie I bought some new/old dishes this week that I thought would be fun for a Thanksgiving Table. Now my dilema is how to get them up to Seattle for Thanksgiving this year. These dishes are Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Ironstone made in England. I got 36 pieces for $55.00. That comes out to about $1.54 per piece. I bought these at Goodwill.
I really enjoy dishes with English country scenes. I don’t have much in the Thanksgiving decorating realm here at the condo in California so I scrounged around to try to create something that might feel like harvest.
These are the 36 pieces that I purchased.
Be sure to visit Susan to see lots of fun table settings!

Isaiah 58:11 ~ And the Lord will continually guide you, And satisfy your desire in scorched places, And give strength to your bones; And you will be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water whose waters do not fail.
