A beautiful picture! Its a reminder for those that visited the Homestead many years ago. Still beautiful! See this makes you think about the Collector's Club Gatherings, the singers that use to perform in the foyer, the kitchen in the back, the Italian Restaurant and the Make a Basket area. So many memories! How many remember the launching of th Doves at the end of the day? We all had so much fun at the Homestead!!
