LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW

When I looked out our cabin window this morning I saw snow,
lots of snow. It's still snowing so we won't be going anywhere.
I knew God would answer my prayer last night. I just hope He
answers the one when we get go down the mountain Monday!
This is turning out to be a very relaxing vacation for us since
it is so quite and nice. I even made blueberry mufffins this
morning to go with my coffee and her hot tea. I look forward
to watching football this afternoon and taking a nice nap. Old
habits are hard to break.
I'm going outside to get in the hot water with the jets going
full blast and watch the snow falling. I've always wanted to
walk naked in the snow. Come on, Naked. (my invisible dog)

A MOUNTAIN TOP EXPERIENCE

Since I couldn't sleep early this morning, I got out of bed, made
coffee & turned on the gas logs in our cabin high on a mountain
near Gatlinburg. I love the silence and stillness of being up by
5:00 a.m.. I've had two cups of coffee and ate a slice of apple
pie while watching news on tv.
We went down the mountain yesterday afternoon for awhile.
We went to AppleWood for lunch and headed back up here
before dark. I've read from two books and have enjoyed time
with my wife. We've enjoyed the hot tub and looking at the
mountain views.
We head home Monday after a week here taking things easy.
Today is a day to soak in the silence and chill high on a high,
high hill.
