Do you know what your passions are in life? Do you find joy in adding to or enhancing your passions? I do. My passions are photography, Barbies, Calligrapy, swimming, collecting Nutcrackers, finding and identifying wildflowers, hiking, going on adventures and more. One of my latest passions is art glass, in particular, SUMAC by Frank Lloyd Wright. I don't know much about him or his work, but it speaks to me. I find such calm in looking at it. Does anyone else feel this way or is it just me?
Why does it bring calm to you when you look at it?

The roads are clear and the Christmas Snow at Thanksgiving makes everything look magical here! Take a drive today and enjoy the beauty of Starved Rock. You won't be disappointed.

We are decorating for Christmas at Starved Rock Lodge. Is it too early? Some say yes, but I say NO! The reason we decorate so early is so that when our guests come here to enjoy our delicious Thanksgiving Buffet they can take holiday photos with their families. So it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas and I love it! More photos to come soon!
