Until we get the uploading issue fixed, I will just upload a couple of images from our 10th lighting of the Christmas lights at the Old Michigan City Lighthouse/Museum... First is a group shot of those who braved the windy cold conditions, then the 2nd image will show the added lights this year to the lighthouse..

You're looking very tall and slim Paul. I hope it's not caused by your injured Colts(tic)??

Snow on the roof looks neat. I myself was at Montauk on Friday at sunset, photograghing thier Christmas Lights. It will be my 2010 Christmas card.

I had the best time seeing old friends and visiting the lighthouse in the snow. Great party! Thank You for inviting me! It was probably the coldest weather I've ever been in and the first time I've ever seen REAL snow! But it was GREAT!!

Can't wait to see the rest of your picture Paul.

Received the DVD Paul. Thanks for thinking of us. It sure brought back some good memories and also made me realize how long I have been out of touch.

In addition to Fun, Food and Friends, I showed a slide-show of over 400 images that ran 26 minutes of the first 10 years of the Hoosier Lighthousing Club Events and Meetings..

Sue and I also gave each member of the Club a DVD of the slide-show to take home with them..

I believe the head count at the party was 39 people..

These pictures are great and as always it makes me wish I had attended. At least I was able to get a DVD of the last 10yrs of the Hoosier Club (since I am a member) and I must say Paul outdid himself, it was truly AWESOME! You all do so much work every year to make OMC beautiful. What a great group of friends.

Here's to all of you...Merry Christmas & Happy New Year cheers

That's the Quilting Kat, Kat Waterson, who is a member of the Club and the Forums.. That's her on the right holding the Quilt up.. She has done some beautiful quilts over the years as money makers for the Club..

Kat has a Quilting business and is online..

Quilting Kat

We raised over $900 selling tickets for the quilt and a couple of AP's that the Bradys donated to the Event..

One image that I forgot to post earlier is the ceremonial flipping of the switch, turning on the Christmas Lights at the lighthouse for the 2010 Christmas season by the new Director, Laura, of the Michigan City Historical Society..

Wow! I checked out Kat's website. I knew she was amazing at Quilting -- but had no idea she had such a going business!

Sorry I didn't know they lived in Auburn when I made my trip back to Michigan.

I stopped and spent a couple of hours at the fabulous Auburn-Cord-Dusenberg Museum. Would have stopped and said to Kat & Larry if I had but known.

It was a great party, and so much fun seeing everyone again!
My Grandson Gio climbed his first lighthouse that day, and Autumn climbed her 8th Lighthouse, I believe!

It really was a great weekend, with people from 8 states attending (IN, MI, OH, MO, WI, GA, FL, AL). Really great having friends from such an area gather for the weekend. Lots of time spent socializing, especially with the addition of our hospitality room the past year.

For those going on the Alaskan cruise, maybe we can have an Alaskan regatta?
