A Busy Month

As this been a wild month for me!

Girls Weekend Outing--  We had a great time in Eureka Springs, AR.  We stayed in a beautiful cabin with just enough room for 5 women.  We drove down the gravelly, winding road with a sign stating this was a "secret place" and it was with no cell phone service, Internet and barely a TV signal; they even gave you DVD/ VCR movies to watch.  It was nice to just lay back and enjoy the scenery.  Before we ever checked in we saw 6 deer in the garden just walking around and enjoying whatever they could find.  Then once we checked in we found our cabin which was close to the water (ponds).  There were boats and we could have taken them out or just went fishing.  There were several hiking trails in this place and they would have provided maps.  There were picnic areas for our use.  This place is used for weddings and family gatherings as well.

Mountain View Blue Grass Festival--A group of us went to my first Blue Grass Festival in Mountain View.  I've been to out-door Blue Grass music gatherings before but not like this.  It was great and I enjoyed the music a lot.  There were several singers I liked.  If the opportunity percent's itself I will go back.  This occurs every year the second weekend of November.  Make a mental note-- 2nd thought write it down!

Thanksgiving Week --My step-children are here from out-of-town plus my niece from PB. I hoping to be able to spend quality time with all of them since we don't get to see them much out of the year.  They all came in on Saturday and was here the whole week.  On Tuesday my niece and I went to HS to get Christmas Decorations and would return in time for church on Wednesday evening.   On Wednesday my husband and his two children headed for his mother's house in Fountain Hill.  On Thursday I headed to PB to drop off my niece with intentions of picking her up on Friday by 2pm and returning to LR before meeting up with her brother in JX and have an evening meal with him at the Western Sizzler.

And this is only the 23rd of the month.

I hope each of you will have a great Thanksgiving and will get to spend quality time with your family.  Remember its going to be a great week--weather wise--so get outdoors and have a great time in the Wilderness.
