Friday was spent as a special guest greeter for the historic Dana-Thomas House in Springfield, Illinois. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright beginning in 1902, it remains a "must see" piece of the rich historical landmarks that reside in our state Capitol.
I began my evening greeting guests at the front door, then was treated to being a part of the greeting "staff" in the room that was used for parties, balls, and entertaining vocal stylings of the husband of Susan Lawrence Dana, whom the house was designed for originally. Santa and I were a big hit! ;) Isn't his coat amazing? He even had each reindeer named on the buttons of his outfit!
Afterward, it was suggested I try a hometown favorite for dinner so I went to family owned Saputo's. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT!!!
(And found myself seated next to one of the singers from the group "The Platters" and his producer! He was such a gentleman!)
Special thanks to Regina of The Dana-Thomas House for arranging my appearance, as well as Kay, Nick, and Nancy for their extra efforts in working on the event itself as well as making me feel so welcome. PS - It's obviously hunting season, because I saw deer...and chickens...on the way there and back!
