“For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. In his hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the mountains are his also.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭95:3-4‬


Happy Tuesday sweet friends! We have returned from a wonderful four day anniversary getaway to Highlands, NC. On Simple + Southern Sunday, we shared lovely snowy scenery. In case you missed it, you can see it here. If you enjoy arm chair travel and lovely hotels, grab a cup of coffee and join me as I give you a mini-tour of Old Edwards Inn and Spa.

My Renaissance Man works so hard and has yet to retire, I am not sure he ever will. I have to whisk him away somewhere where he can’t ride a tractor or a lawn mower in order for him to rest. I loved this quote in a little OE’s guide that was in our suite.

The historic Relais & Chateaux inn is situated in the heart of the charming town of Highlands. With its European style, it offers a mountain retreat with luxury accommodations!

We left home early Thursday morning for the 4 1/2 -5 hour drive to Highlands. Snow was in the forecast so we allowed plenty of time for the drive. It poured rain all morning until it changed over to snow as we gained altitude. For this Southern girl who doesn’t get to see much snow, it was magical! This photo was taken on Friday morning outside the entrance to our second story suite!READ MORE

“…yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.”
‭‭James‬ ‭4:14‬ ‭

Happy Thursday to everyone! We recently attended Butch’s 50th High School Reunion. The decor, food, and fellowship were fabulous. I wanted Butch to share a few thoughts with you, so here we go !

High School days seem to create memories that are very unique as compared to other life events and experiences !

With an even number of “boys and girls”, 16 of the 29 who graduated in my class were able to attend our reunion last weekend. Three or four that had planned to come but had to cancel for various reasons. Not a bad percentage considering!READ MORE

 “The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.”
‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3:9‬ ‭

  Our hearts go out to so many who have suffered loss and devastation during recent flooding. This incredible photo is a wonderful reminder that God is Sovereign and that because of the Cross, we can have victory regardless of earthly circumstances ! Photo courtesy of Zack Zimmerman.
