Hello Monday ~ September 30, 2024

 


Hi friends!  I hope you had a good weekend.  Mine had some ups and downs, but I really tried to stay positive.  

First, thank you all for the prayers for Friday.  I still have some ongoing battles, but I am so thankful for this community to know y'all are part of my prayer warriors during this hard season.  

By Friday afternoon, I needed to rest my brain so I went to a holiday market show with a friend.  There was Christmas music playing in the background and lots of fun booths.
Friday night, I went to Jennifer's house and she made a wonderful quiche and sourdough bread.
I brought this huckleberry moscato.  I bought this in Gatlinburg last weekend and it is made with huckleberries from Montana, my favorite! It was a great night of hanging out and catching up with one another.

I was just heartbroken over the weekend hearing about the devastation in North Carolina.  It is so hard to imagine, especially since I was there lastsweekend.  This is one of my favorite areas of the country.  My heart goes out to these people and towns.

Saturday, I stayed at home that morning then went with some friends to a pizza farm that evening.
This is a cattle farm and they make pizza using meat from their farm's cattle.  It was a unique experience.

Sunday morning, I kept the nursery at church then went to lunch with some friends I haven't seen in so long.  It was so good! I ran an errand then went by Brook's boyfriend's house.  His parents went to Glacier National Park last week and they bought me this Huckleberry Jam.  I was so excited and this was so thoughtful of them!

I went back to church Sunday night for our once a month meal fellowship.  It was good to be with people again who are so much part of my life.  I came back home and that wrapped up the weekend.

I hope you all are safe after this stormy weekend.

Love to all.

Hello Monday ~ Vacation/September 23, 2024

 It's finally fall!  It looks the weather is going the right direction, although, it was a warm first day of fall for me.

I am a little out of sorts as I usually type from my computer for posts, however,I am using my tablet today. There are lots of pictures below!

I left town Thursday & drove to Banner Elk, North Carolina. I made stops at two different Buc-ees along the way. Once I arrived, I took a little walk to stretch my legs. I just wanted to be swallowed up by a Hallmark  movie once I saw the town.

A deer right by my car to greet me when I arrived!
View of the mountains from my balcony
I was probably most proud of myself when I carried my luggage up to the third floor by myself!

Friday was spent at the most beautiful wedding venue I have ever seen!
The cocktail hour was in this building. 
This is my best friend & mother of the bride
I assist the florist with this greenery on the arbor.
Reception area
Charcuterie board for cocktail hour
Friends made cookies & mother of the bride made the cake & her sister decorated it!
I was exhausted Friday night!

Saturday morning, I drove around the town a bit.
I joined up with my friend & her family for a hike.
My friend has twin grandsons, so it was fun to meet them 
Later that night, we toasted to our Best Friends bottle of wine.

We had fun laughing Saturday night with her husband, brother & wife, & her youngest daughter & husband. We ate pizza, cake, ice cream & cookies & drank wine. We had lots of wedding snacks & wine leftover from the prior night.

Sunday ,I drove to Pigeon Forge & had a day of vacation by myself. I took a walk on a trail in the Smoky Mountains & visited an attraction called Anakeesta. I loved seeing all the fall decor!
I also saw new products at another Buc-eess stop!
I rode a ski lift up the mountain.
I was a little nervous,so I talked to one daughter while getting on the ride & the other one the rest of the way.
It was a warm first day of fall. I was missing the nice NC mountain weather!
I rode in one the red cars going down the mountain.
It was a good day, but I was exhausted once again.

Have a great Monday!

Linking up with Holly & Sarah
