referring to them as "June" beatles because

I always admire the 1904 Edwardian period
home in Centralia, Missouri. It is a Queen
Anne style home built by pharmacist
R. L. Hope and his wife and later purchased
by the Chance family. It is maintained now by
the Historical Society of Centralia.
I was so happy that our visit
was earlier this year!
What a delight to see. I am partial to the yellow as I rarely see yellow roses. The orangey one next to it reminds me of my grandmother's Jiminy Cricket. The house is a beauty. and I would love to see inside.
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed reading about your Amish trip, as well as the Centralia trip with roses. Centralia, Missouri is a place that my husband has some family roots. He has often heard stories from that area. I am intrigued with the Amish way of living and Roses always capture my heart; seeing a big beautiful Victorian house would bring a smile too! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThe colors of the roses are so beautiful, and it must have been so fragrant!
