Mountain Retreat

We spent 4 GLORIOUS days in the mountains this past Friday thru Monday! And, even though we had a busted toilet tank (frozen), broken water pipe to the bathroom sink (frozen) and frozen kitchen sink drain (did I mention "frozen"?), Don easily repaired them all and even managed to put up insulation (warm!) before Saturday night and we had a great time! We went to Helen-back (inside family joke) and got some much needed grits from the Nora Mill Granary and some much desired fudge (yum!) from the Hansel & Gretel Candy Shop. Then, on Sunday, Don got all the wiring and water done to hook up the range and washer & dryer on our next visit. That means stove-top cooking (no more boiling water in the microwave or cooking grits in it, either) and no more hauling dirty clothes back to Thomasville after a long weekend! Yippee - am I weird to be happy that I can actually do laundry at our "get away"? Probably :)



I don't think I have slept as much in the past month total as we slept over this weekend! De-lightful! We have no TV so we play games until about 8pm and then, GO TO BED!!! It stays darker longer in the mornings so we weren't waking up until after 7am most mornings. 11 hours of sleep - it almost felt decadent!!
