Triple Trips

Acorn Hill's Sarah Daffodil took three trips within about a month. The first was to St. Simons Island. The second was to Kentucky and Michigan, and the third was to Jonesborough, Tennessee.

Trip one: Daffodil traveled with two friends, Miss Charle' and Miss Pat, to St. Simons, where they stayed in a rented vacation home. Later they were joined by other friends, Mr. and Mrs. Kollock and Miss Charle's daughter, Lona. They stayed in a spacious home, ate out, visited the beach, walked in shops and visited historic places. "It was a great trip," said Sarah Daffodil.

Trip Two: The trip to Michigan was taken by all Acorn Hill citizens who have residency at the Main House (except Queen Esther Hunts). First they stopped by Grandma's House in Kentucky, where they spent one night and enjoyed being together. Next they drove up to Michigan and visited Grandpa and Grandma Terry. They went to parks and restaurants, played in the yard, ate popsicles, painted birdhouses and went to an herb farm. After spending three days there, they headed toward Uncle Don and Aunt Lucille's house. But first they stopped by a dulcimer shop and did a little jamming. At Uncle Don and Aunt Lucille's they went to Lake Michigan, climbed sand dunes, helped make a candy pizza, played dulcimer at a church event and a nursing home and played lots of games. After all the visiting, citizens piled into the van along with bags, balls, gifts and clothes and headed all the way home, which took 15 hours and 15 minutes. All citizens really enjoyed the trip and were happy to arrive back at the Main House.

Trip Three: Daffodil visited Jonesborough, Tennessee (near Johnson City) for the World Wide Pressed Flower Guild reunion. She rode up with two other members of the guild who live near Acorn Hill. There was artwork shown and classes taught on card making, jewelry making, framing, rose assembly and pressing onion membranes, and there was a flower exchange. Daffodil also taught a 45-minute class about things she's learned and experimented with during her four years of pressed-flower art. Several states were represented . One lady came from the Bahamas, and one came from England.
