Christmas Celebrated On U.S. Hwy 80


 Grand old Southern mansions decorated for Christmas.
 
 
This is the Paige House in Dublin, Georgia. 
It is a Bed and Breakfast that we have not stayed at but always enjoy driving by at Christmas.



This is the business next door to the Paige House.
These houses are located on U.S. highway 80 in the center of Dublin.


I have been making Christmas cards from some of the close up shots of the porch rockers on these two houses. It has been a fun learning experience for me.


This charming house is an eye doctor's office and is across the street from the other two.


The gingerbread trim is beautiful.


This large house is next to the doctor's office and has understated Christmas lights.
I love those porches.
 I will share my Christmas cards later.

I am sending a huge thank you to all my readers who left comments about our Christmas tree and CC coming home from college. You are the best readers ever and welcome to all new followers. Joe and I read and enjoy each and every comment.

    Olive,
    those homes are beautiful! I drive past the Dublin exit every time I visit my BF in Statesboro and have always wanted to get off and sight see but haven't. Maybe next time now that I've seen these fab homes!
