“Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant, and a song of praise is fitting.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭147:1‬ ‭

Happy Thursday sweet friends. Can you believe that 2020 is half over? I think we all would agree, this year has been most unusual and challenging. The virus and our country’s unrest has changed our way of living. The last time that Butch and I dined out was March 13th. Even though a few restaurants in our small city have opened, I have not felt comfortable in going. There are no vacations planned for this year, we will be staying home and catching up on projects.

Even though no travel is planned, we have memories of exciting trips that we have enjoyed through the years. I had this bright idea to revisit some of our trips. After all, who doesn’t love to armchair travel? It is a safe, no hassle, no packing, no reservations, and no stress vacation, all while resting comfortably in your own home!

Autumn In The Grand Teton National Park

Yellowstone In October – A Day In The Park

One of our favorite vacations in recent years was a trip out west to scenic Wyoming! We took in the majesty of Grand Teton National Park, the quaint town of Jackson, and amazing Yellowstone National Park!

Grand Teton National Park is named for Grand Teton, the tallest mountain at 13,770 feet in the Teton range.READ MORE

“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

“Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭3:20‬ ‭

A morning of sunshine and blue sky seems even brighter and bluer after the previous day of clouds and snow!

A pleasant surprise as earlier rain changed to snow with a little altitude as we approached Highlands NC!READ MORE
