Ahhhh, this is the life

Jul 1st, 2008 by Accidental Thinker

We’re on vacation in North Carolina high country this week, and I think I’m never going home. Here’s why.

The front porch of our secluded mountain cabin:

The rear of our mountain cabin:

The view from the back deck:

Our days so far have been filled with leisurely taking in the scenery and attractions of the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains, breathing the fresh mountain air as we relax in rockers on the front porch with good books and tall glasses of sweet, cold lemonade, and enjoying evening soaks in the hot tub on the back deck, surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature.

This is a restorative vacation that is truly good for the soul. I want more!

    There you are!! Frankly, I was beginning to worry about you. Honest. Tickled to find out you’re not sick or injured. A vacation in those mountains is a good thing. I’m sure you know that Billy Graham thinks those mountains are the next best thing to the Garden of Eden. Get you some rest and refreshing. I proposed to My First Wife in those mountains.

    Looking forward to seeing more blog posts. Thank you for stopping by my joint–and have a Happy 4tha July.
