Welcome to John's Photographs of

Norwegian Country Christmas Tour

Clifton, Texas - December 07, 2002

The Christmas Tour began with the "Split T Ranch" the home of the Thomas' which was built in 2001. The limestone ranch style house was richly decorated with holiday flare. Next was the Lake Family Ranch known as "The Rocking L", named after the brand which is seen througout the iron work. Interesting Christmas decoration at the Lake home was the Texas version of the firplace stockings (Cowboy boot for each family member). That was followed by the retreat Holland Cabin built in 1997 using historical 1897 techniques. Off the back porch is the watering hole used for fishing and cooling off on a hot summer day. Past the watering hole were donkeys, a hit with the little ones. Next was the Tindall Home, with the original structure dating to 1888 and remaining within the family ever since. With a dala horse on the porch greeted visitors, especially the smaller ones. Betty Tindall also greeted visitors and demonstrated her talents by baking a _____. Other highlights were the Bosque County Memorial Museum, The First Security State Bank's local photo exhibit, the Bosque Conservantory's Gallery of Trees, and Heritage Village. Ending the day's official activites was the Norwegian Society of Texas' Leikarringen Norwegian folkdance group and the barneringen (the children's group).
