Things I Learned in October


Six Things I Learned in October 

1. The month of October I joined a group of bloggers for a 31 day writing challenge and amazingly, I did not miss a day. I posted something each of the 31 days! I loved the challenge...




2. I enjoy posting inspirational messages and using the photos I take to share the "Good News."



3. A fun place to visit and dream - "I wish I lived here!"

The Biltmore Estates



4. Over the river and through the wood and yes - pass grandmas house to get here, but so worth it - Crabtree Falls, along the Blue Ridge Parkway, N.C.


  
5. No matter what we're going through in this life, no matter what the challenges are - God stands by His promises - He will never leave us or abandon us. People disappoint but God never will!
But...life is still...
6. Now, I'm trying to decide on a theme for November!







Thank you for stopping by my blog and please do come again and again!

    Isn't Biltmore glorious?!?! The hubby and I toured there a couple of years ago, and I found myself imagining myself living there back in the day. I think it would have been awesome, but I tend to like modern technology and conveniences way too much to be perfectly content. Blessings to you.

    I fell in love with the Biltmore and like you I thought I would have loved to live there but I too I addicted to my technology. I was amazed and in awe as we toured the house and the gardens. So, I'm content with my life right where I am. Blessing to you and yours. Have a blessed Christmas Season! Cheryl

Travel Adventures 2023

Travel Adventures 2023 – So many places to go!   This year my husband and I traveled to Reno, Lake Tahoe and Yosemite National Park. I took lots of pictures but could only choose a few for this blog. I’ve included a little information about each location we visited, along with a few pictures. Enjoy! Reno is a city in the northwest section of the U.S. state of Nevada, along the Nevada-California border, about 22 miles (35 km) north from Lake Tahoe, known as "The Biggest Little City in the World". Known for its casino and tourism industry. We stayed at the Nugget Casino & Resort...and no, I did not put any money in the slot machines!!! :-) What's a vacation with shopping - the  Outlets at Legends  proved to be more than shopping. Then off to  Virginia City.   Lake Tahoe is located on the border of California and Nevada. About two-thirds of the lake is in California, with about one-third extending into Nevada at the north and south ends of the lake, and the entire

Happy Labor Day!

  Labor Day is an annual celebration of the social and economic achievements of American workers. It is a federal holiday in the United States celebrated on the first Monday in September to honor and recognize the American labor movement and the works and contributions of laborers to the development and achievements of the United States.

Oregon was the first to declare Labor Day an official holiday in 1887. Labor Day is considered the 'unofficial NFL season kickoff.' 99.44 percent of the ti
