Fun Times!

I am finally getting back to "normal" after being away and working like a bird (constantly)...


I often read comments in the blogging world that say something about the stuff in life that keeps you from blogging is often the interesting stuff that you should write about...


Well - with two young kids, and running a business my life is never boring...


Throw in travel, weddings, hurricanes, and Halloween on top of regular life - and that is a crazy storm of it's own!

















And those are since we have been back from this:


Driving through Virginia...





Arriving in Tennessee (Gatlinburg). That exhausted, but excited feeling about a week of vacation with family that we rarely see...


Seeing some local sights...


Being in the woods in a cabin on a steep slope with Bears (not so much fun being stuck on the steep driveway, in a car while you hope that bear that just passed didn't want to take a look in said car for dinner). Pretty foliage though and cool cabin with lots of room...


A day to spend time with family...


And fun times on "the fast cars" as Riley put it every time he fell asleep or woke up to remind us of how much he liked them...


Visiting Cade's Cove early one morning...








Amazing mountain views everywhere!


And time for putt putt golf and some additional rounds of go-cart racing (we had tickets to use up from the first visit).


We visited some shops downtown with Grandma Neal. Picked up some Moonshine gifts and Dave splurged on a huge lollipop for each of the kids (that is A Lot of sugar!!! Luckily they didn't come close to finishing them).


To end the week: the wedding...
Chloe was a flower girl and I was a bridesmaid.
It was great to be around so many people that we don't get to see a lot of.


And the final exit before packing and heading home to get back to Delaware before Hurricane Sandy...


I bet these men & women on these electrical crews have not had a break for a long while. We passed them on I-81 heading up to the North East US from Mississippi last Sunday. Very thankful to them for being there in preparation for helping people get power back after the storm...

My thoughts keep going out to those without power or with lost loved ones or homes from this storm. Hoping that they find comfort soon. I need to brush off this feeling of guilt for not even losing power during this storm (amazing considering all the trees & power lines around here) and get back into life here and now. Something not so easily done...

I hope you and yours are safe!
All the best to you all...
