Part II and Snow!

 In our bedrooms, the mirrors were decorated with sparkling holiday lights!  So pretty!  But off with the lights and nighty-nite!

 Looking out the windows in the morning, it had turned into a winter wonderland!

 Perfect for our retreat!  The woods were beautiful.

 Julie and I decided to talk a walk before breakfast.  A feast for the eyes!

 The Art Log Cabins were all nestled in.

 Everything was covered with this blanket of white.

" Good Morning" little reindeer!  We know you enjoy this North Pole weather.

 The beautiful Lodge.

 The snow continued as Julie and I tramped on discovering the beauty of this morning.

 A favorite of mine...
 all these pretty branches with pretty identifying tags on the stairway coming up to The Center.

 The little Herb Cottage, hidden away.

 Natural ornaments on the trees.

 And on to The Chapel.

 The door welcomes us into the warmth.


And the bells sing out the joy!

 Walking back to the lodge, I can see the lights of the Christmas tree in the retreat wing.

And breakfast is ready!  More of the day to be continued.....
