A Getaway

This past weekend while the kids were visiting their dad, I was able to get away with a friend. We stayed at a cabin at Lake Lure and went to Chimney Rock. Aside from the torrential downpour while driving up the mountain in total darkness Friday night, the weather was gorgeous.

I also have good news to report. Abby told me that she saw Julia at school yesterday. Thanks to all who prayed!

What a treat for US that you brought your camera. Lake Lure is right...everything about your get-a-way was very alluring.

Wow, that rock wall, fall leaves and water dripping down photo just sucked me in. I wanted to be there too. Looks like you scored.

Good news about Julia too. Praise God.
