Aunt and Uncle Time In Atlanta

We had a great time with our young nephew and niece today. Brian, bless his wonderful soul, played some billiards games with the kids {I don't play AT ALL} We listened to songs from Hamilton: The Musical and it turns out that Nephew is a BIG fan of that musical. 

Niece and I did some coloring--- she's really talented with visual art and we colored out of a " grown up" coloring book that I bought her for Christmas. 

 There is a hockey game on for Brian tonight, so I am figuring out what I want to do now that the kids are in bed. 

 We are not leaving early tomorrow, so I might write again if there is anything worth sharing. 

 It is A LOT colder here than it is at home in Pensacola, so I am wearing long pajamas and socks on my feet. I am glad that there will be heat available at night at the house on Beech Mountain-- I'm wussie when it comes to being cold.

Wake Up Beech Mountain

Our Adventure Begins On Tuesday

Beech Mountain is a sacred place for me for many reasons, and it is my hope and prayer that people will follow our journey here.  We leave on Tuesday of next week.  Yes, Brian and I already packed our clothes and most of the other things we'll need for our week in the Carolina High Country. During that time I am taking a total break from social media.... so I'll use this blog as the platform to share our adventures.   Why the total temporary break from social media during this time?  The answer is quite simple: I discovered during my parish's Womens' Retreat this past April that even a two-day break from social media  refreshed my pandemic-weary soul. One of the BIG lesson...
