When A Cat Comes On Your Deck

Friends to the Cabin

Coleman brought friends up the cabin for one last trip. 

 Love these kiddos!

 It was a short trip but I think they had fun,

Kudzu Basket Weaving

One last girls night at the cabin! We went to McCaysville and learned how to weave baskets from kudzu vine.

 We stood in Georgia and Tennessee

 and our baskets turned out great!

Tanglewood Cabin

New art for the cabin

Girls Trip to the Cabin

Carolyn and I took a quick trip to the cabin. We've had so much rain that the creek was really full.

 Dinner at Masseria

 and then home for a movie. (So much hair!)

 Bat Dog

 Love spending time with this girl!

Driving in A Car With A Boy

Fall Creek Falls

We took a hike to a new waterfall today. 

It is a short, easy hike to Fall Branch Falls-which meant it was packed with lots of families with young children. Jim called it the "McDonald's playground of hiking trails."

The dogs had a blast!

Upper falls

My pretty girl!

 Selfie game is on point today

 Lower falls

 We had a great time and the weather was beautiful!

Team Bonding

Varsity team bonding at the cabin (largest group there yet!)

Christmas Card Photos

There are so many great spots at the cabin to take gorgeous photos

Gumbo Found a Treasure

Gumbo found a deer (?) leg down by the creek.

 He was so excited about it

 and did NOT want to share!

O Come Let Us Adore Him

Girls Night at the Cabin

Carolyn, Morgan and I left a day early for our trip to Chattanooga and spent the night at the cabin. 

We walked around Blue Ridge and did a little shopping. It was hot, and a root beer break was necessary!

 We had dinner at Chester's and the girls were tickled because the server thought they were old enough to ask if we wanted separate checks! 

 Movies and face masks were the agenda for the evening.A quick trip to Mercier's for breakfast and we hit the road to Chattanooga

 I love spending time with these two!

Mother-Daughter Girls Night at the Cabin

My friend Jenny is moving. So SAD! Due to some unfortunate timing issues with her moving truck, we were able to plan one more getaway to the cabin. This time we let the daughters come, too!

We did a little shopping on the way up to Blue Ridge 

 

and ate a late lunch at Masseria  

We all enjoyed our pizzas!

We walked around Blue Ridge and shopped and then headed back to the cabin.

Carolyn got a campfire going in spite of the damp wood!

 We roasted hot dogs

 and s'mores

 And then went inside for some crafting.

 We watched Beauty and the Beast and made burlap Christmas ornaments.

They turned out so cute!

It poured down rain all night long (such good sleeping!) Friday morning we made breakfast burritos and then worked the new Georgia puzzle Jenny brought us.

 Many hands make quick work!

 

We had such a good time (as always!) and it was so much fun to have Carolyn, Macie, and Laney (and Joey!) with us this trip!

One Last Girls Night at the Cabin

Before Jenny and Lacey move (sniff!) we planned one last girls night at the cabin.

 As always, we ate great food, had great discussion, watched a B movie and crafted!

 We made patriotic door hangers 

 and they all turned out so cute! Here is mine:
