Highlights From Our Mountain Trip


* listening to "The Hobbit" as we drove

* from the cabin window, seeing a Mama Bear and her four sweet babies cross the road

* finding a Woolrich denim jumper at Goodwill that's got the bib-type straps on the top

* listening to M. and the boys practice their hilarious turkey calling!

* driving through the mountains and looking for wildlife - we found a turtle, bald eagle, turkeys, deer and a total of 7 bear

* eating garlic knots at the pizza shop

* sitting on the porch reading for two hours straight one afternoon

* watching the old movie "Young Mr. Lincoln" one night

* taking a long walk on Tuesday morning - it was so incredibly beautiful that it almost took my breath away

* having a picnic at a park then playing tennis

* visiting an alpaca farm open house and laughing over the silly-looking animals after they're sheared (apparently an alpaca is mostly wool!)

* attending the 50th anniversary celebration of our little mountain church on Sunday and staying for the delicious potluck meal the ladies of the church put together

Sounds like you had a wonderful time. Oh, that little alpaca! My son had his dog groomed recently. Her grooming turned out to look more like that alpaca's shearing! I told my family that I was glad she didn't have a mirror!

Have a blessed day.
