Country Christmas Train--2022

 'Twas the first night of the Country Christmas Train, 2022--
and three of us managed to make it to the Denton Farm Park---Granny, Granddaddy and Gunner.

There was sickness in the ranks and the others stayed home to make it to the Park another day.

We did most of the usual fun things--shopped and bought gingerbread men, strolled around the park, visited the displays in the vintage buildings, took in the music at the old church--always the best to hear Eddie Hill and Family sing 'Beautiful Star'! Took the tram down to the Reid Plantation and the Blacksmith Shop, and yes--we rode the train and watched the Nativity film along the tracks.

Gunner and Granny had fun seeing the displays from the old days, esp. those about racing.

We were tired as we said "Goodnight" to the Park and trudged our way to the car. Another great night at the Country Christmas Train!
