Christmas Music
Good Food
A Resort in the Hills and By the Lake
Quiet and peaceful
Sixty or so miles up Highway 58, the Inn at Whitestone is our destination for the winter getaway.
They were fixed up for us.
The Voices of Lee, a choral group from Lee College in Cleveland, TN was to be our entertainment and they were superb.
The resort was decorated for the Christmas Season.
The Lion and Lamb facility is a dual use building with rooms on the second floor and a multi purpose room on the first level where we banquetted before the concert. Convenient was the placement of the buildings on the hill, sleeping accommodations, banquet and chapel, all a few steps apart on the ridge.
An inspirational Christmas songfest, a delicious buffet dinner, and a great bed to sink into, what more could we ask for?
Well, we found out what!
Waking up to a fog that took away our view.
The sheep below our window did not seem to mind.
Our landscape was murky, cold and still. The only sound was that of an outboard motor, running south on the lake. I had heard some gunshots a few minutes before, so I assumed duck hunters were about.
Before long, a light had begun to fill the sky.
The sun was up there all right, and soon the fog would dissipate.
Our songfest location was coming into focus.
Remnants of the thick fog were fast escaping up the hill.
Just a few more minutes and the chapel on the hill showed its true colors
Truly a great one day mini vacation.
Merry Christmas
