Fall Break Mini Vacation




Last week was fall break so we rented a cottage at F.D. Roosevelt State Park and invited our girls and grandchildren, that could, to go with us.

I love the old stone building where you check in.
The hanging light is so pretty.





In the back of the building, is an overlook.

The days were cool so it was nice to have a fire in the fire ring, each day to roast marshmallows.



The girls (and boys) love to kayak. There's the runaway paddle boat. It didn't go far though, the breeze kelp pushing it back to shore.


 
My daughter, Susan and granddaughter, Morgan, laid down in their kayak's  and drifted all over the lake. The water was so pretty.







My grandsons JC and Joshua was fishing across the lake but you aren't able to see them. I love how the sun made the shadows of the trees on the ground.


The geese came out to meet us, really they just wanted to be fed.

We love this state park it's only a short drive from where we live, so we try to go as often as we can. It's always more exciting and enjoyable when the family can go with us. We all had a great time and didn't want to leave!

Have a Blessed Day!

Warmer Days are here again!




Yesterday and today has been such a blessing,
getting outside and riding along the country roads, then playing in the dirt!  75 Degrees today! Yay!


We did that yesterday, hubby and I went for a drive. He is doing better, just having to use his oxygen more during the day.


We stopped just outside Pine Mountain, to have lunch at the 
Callaway Gardens Country Kitchen Restaurant.
Across the road is an overlook, just pass the flags is a very very deep drop. 



 
After we had eaten and was ready to leave, I saw this shrub.






 Don't know what it is but it had pretty flowers.
 So good to finally see some blooms.




We drove to the town of Pine Mountain, stopped at this antiques store that I love. Didn't buy anything, just looked.

On the way home my grandson called, he wanted to come  visit.  I put him to work (he really offered to plant my Iris),  My daughter brought me some Iris, when she got interested in gardening, I gave some to her. They multiply so she had plenty.



He planted them along the retaining wall.
I am getting in the mood to work outside and start a flower bed, but I am not able to dig and bend much so it will have to be something that can be planted shallow or Johnathan will come and plant for me.
Aren't grandchildren a blessing, especially when they enjoy helping!  He told me to buy some plants and he will come next week and plant them. Love that young man!

Hope you are enjoying some warm weather!
Be Blessed!
