It’s a brand new year at the Old School! “Classes” begin this month! With the persistent cold weather we will delay opening until after the third weekend in March. Let’s hope Spring warmth arrives really soon!
I cannot believe the winter months and holidays have gone by so quickly. Seems like it was just Christmas, New Years, and now Valentines has passed and St Patty’s is creeping up and Easter will be here before you know it. How does that happen? The older I get the quicker the year goes by. I don’t want to miss a thing but it all comes and goes before I can blink.

We use the winter season to visit family, catch up on chores, rest, or even start a new project. I also have a small bookkeeping business and so I stay busy with it all year long...

My husband and I got a little nostalgic this week as we discussed that it was already time for kids to head “Back to School.”  We were raised in different areas of the country, but when we were kids we didn’t go back to school until after Labor Day.  We both remember long summer days to run, play, go on vacation, and get bored.  You didn’t tell Mom or Dad you were bored because then they would find a chore for you to do.  I was a avid reader so I spent many days reading a book or absorbing teen magazines.  Mom and I got hooked on soap operas in the afternoon one summer but realized that we needed to give those up. Very time consuming to keep up with all those characters and their drama….now the drama is on our phones 24/7!

Weekends and holidays found us at our grandparents house...

It seems that winter arrives earlier each year.  No sooner than the trees change color and drop their leaves, the cold, rain and yes, snow begin and wash away autumns deep hues.  I actually find beauty in the winter browns and grays, and find particular delight in driving around and seeing the “lay of the land” of our beautiful mid-Missouri rolling hills.

My most favorite part of the winter season is of course Christmas.  We can easily get caught up in lists and end of year to dos – but the part I’m most drawn to and strive to focus on is what I hold most dear: family.  I truly have to force myself to slow down and experience the “wonder of it all”...

We love for people to know about all there is to do in and around our area!  Many of our guests do come to participate in Hermann events and of course to purchase some wonderful wines.  If you have a real sense of adventure though we’d like to encourage you to escape to the Old School and then find some amazing treasures just a short drive down the road.  I’ve listed some events and places to see in our blog this month so give you a flavor of what you can do that will make you appreciate mid-Missouri even more.

Memorial Weekend is right upon us and it of course is a great weekend to visit the wineries in Hermann.  Several of them offer live music and there are antique stores and delicious food.  We can always make some yummy recommendations.  It’s the perfect weekend to take a lon...

No doubt.  Fall is my absolutely favorite time of year.  The cooler, crisper air, the tree color changes, a blue October sky, the lingering shadows, richer foods and, of course, football (more college ball than pro for me).

It is my favorite time to drive around and see all the colors and marvel that God can make something beautiful out of something that is dying.  All of mid-Missouri is just beautiful for several weeks and it is our busiest season of all.  We are gearing up as our calendar is filling up for September and October.  There are so many wonderful festivals and events in our area.

Chamois will be host several events as our annual Chamois Day Festival will be September 17th with vendors, games, tours and food and reunions...
