Señora in St. Charles

I had forgotten I had taken this picture of Señora in St. Charles a few years ago.  Obviously it was Christmas time. We were with a group of folks in the historic downtown district of this city sitting on the Missouri River, visiting the various quaint shops that are nestled in among restaurants, bars and monuments and references to Lewis and Clark.

Ain’t she purrrr-ttteeee?

Y’all come back now… hear!

I’ve finally crossed the divide

We’re in historic St. Charles, MO.  It is Christmas time and I am with a group that is caroling through the business district of this landmark town of Lewis and Clark fame.  I’m doing everyone a favor by not singing, but I am taking pictures.   There are many individuals dressed as various characters.  There is a frontiersman, there is the town crier, there is a Santa Claus whose North Pole outfit is based on the American flag, and many more.

We encounter the most adorable young lady dressed as the Sugar Plum Fairy.  She was so full of energy and quips that it was amazing.  She saw me taking her picture, rotated 180 degrees and commanded me to take a picture of her other good side!  So I did.  She looked at me and remarked, “I really like your milk mustache, of course it is a chocolate milk mustache…”  Well it is not totally white yet, but I am working on it.
