As we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Crickett and I want
to wish all our family, friends, and blog followers a joyous Christmas
and a blessed and prosperous new year. It's hard to believe another year
has passed, but this year has been a good year, and one we won't soon
forget.
We have a yearly tradition of venturing to the NC
mountains every year in search of that perfect Christmas tree and this
year was no exception. We made the trip this year with our daughter,
Pam, her husband, Rick along with our grandchildren, Bailey, Zach and
our grand-dog, Cooper. We went to the Twin Pines Nursery in Newland, NC
and were successful in our quest! After getting our trees we went to
the
Mason Jar Cafe
in Newland for lupper, which was pretty good but in no hurry to return.
On the way back down the mountains, we were treated to a beautiful
sunset that was one of the most unusual I've seen. The whole sky was
illuminated with beautiful pastel colors of all shades and was
impressive against the silhouette of the mountains.
We
do have more travel plans on the drawing board for the coming year and
are looking forward to making more memories on the road exploring our
beautiful country.
