Welcome to day two of our "Getaway Gang" vacation to Maggie Valley, NC. Yesterday was actually our first FULL day together since last year... We have had LOTS and LOTS to catch up on ---so you can only imagine the four of us chatting, giggling, chatting and giggling some more. Of course, "quiet me" hasn't gotten a word in edgewise.... Har Har Har...
I won't tell you that we stayed in our night clothes and robes ALL day long --because you wouldn't believe it. And I won't tell you that we have eaten and nibbled most all day ---because you wouldn't believe it either... SO---let me just say that 'life is slow and easy here on the mountain'. We four old women (oops--I mean young girls) are having a wonderful time together.
Here are a few more pictures from Maggie Valley. I took these yesterday morning when the sun was hitting the trees and the Fall colors were sparkling!!! Note those 'Blue Ridge' mountains above!
Here is a pretty view from our deck at the cabin.
I took this picture from our screened-in porch to show you the pretty colors. What I didn't realize was that I showed you that gorgeous picture of the grill cleaner. Didn't I do a great job????? ha
How did I know that they would have a couple of bird feeders here on the deck JUST for me??? It's a good thing I brought some bird feed just in case!!!!!! Yesterday, we saw crows, woodpeckers, cardinals, tufted titmice, chickadees and juncos. They loved that sunflower seed that I brought with me!!!
Hope your week is going well. I'll have to catch up with comments next week. We are just TOO busy up here---working SO hard!!!!!
By the way, please look at George's blog from yesterday... The picture is hilarious!!!! Click HERE .
Hugs,

ReplyDeletelovely place for an enjoyable gathering!
ReplyDeleteI am sure you young girls are having a wonderful time there Betsy! Soak it all in, soak it in...
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work ladies in your jammies. With great view, wonderful friends and snacks, who needs to go anywhere but to the porch and back.
ReplyDeleteBetsy, that is honestly the best picture of a grill cleaner I've ever seen! :-) Ha,ha...just kidding. Your pictures, as always, are gorgeous. And I think you and your buddies have the right idea---a day spent in your jammies, lots of food, and a nice deck with a killer view to sit on. Have a wonderful time, Betsy!
ReplyDeleteI won't tell you that losts of days I stay in my PJ's! Sounds like a fine time to me! :)
ReplyDeleteJammies all day? Sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThe colors are fantastic and it sounds like you are having a wonderful time. Remember, "Life is not the number of breaths we take, but measured by the moments that take are breath away."
ReplyDeleteHi Betsy, you're the only one I know who takes bird seed on vacation;) What a great idea. In the mornings, having coffee on the porch, how fun to watch the local birds come by for a visit.

I know you girls are having a wonderful time! Thanks for sharing that beautiful color with us.
ReplyDeleteWhat a view! I could stare at that for hours, especially in my comfy clothes and a cup of coffee to sip.
ReplyDeleteThat little house bird feeder is precious.
I did take a look at George and thought that face was a little bit dramatic (i.e., fakey). :) Glad all of you are having so much fun. What a great kind of busy.
ReplyDeleteso pretty, Betsy! I love that wood fence.
ReplyDeleteI'm off to check out George's page now
What a luxury to stay in your jams! The colors are gorgeous in Maggie Valley!
ReplyDeleteOnly the BEST of days are spent in jammies:)
ReplyDeleteI must say that I checked George's post yesterday and had to chuckle! And you are the first person I have heard of who takes birdseed on a trip but how very nice that you fed the birds there and in return received some lovely visitors! Good for you all for staying in your pj's all day, I do on many days! Lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteSounds like all is going as planned and wished for.The scenery is great bonus.
ReplyDeleteBlessing,Ruth
Oh, Betsy, you crack me up!! Do you always travel with extra birdseed??? Now that's a true birder!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful view! Wow . . . just WOW!
ReplyDeleteJust came back from Georges blog. The photo really is funny.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are enjoying some time with good friends from way back...that is so great that you have kept up the friendship for so long. Good for you girls!!!

What a great place to get together, love your pictures, especially the bird house. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteSunny :)
George's picture is hysterical!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the grill cleaner ;)
I grew up with the Blue ridge mountains not far from my house in Culpepper VA. I miss it sometimes, especially in the fall. You are lucky to be there :)
Beautiful fall photos.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful time, and the colors there are great!
ReplyDeleteThat cabin looks like a fantastic place to stay, Betsy. What a fun way to spend a vacation! I can almost hear the four of you together giggling and talking. I'm glad you're having such fun. :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic beauty of the mountains. And the colours are just unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned chicadees. We had a song in our elementary days that goes this way:
The chicadee gay little fellow
His featherb.... on the tree
Do you know the song? May I request a copy of the lyrics incase you know?
It's American song I learned at school when I was little.
The little girls did sound having so much fun!
Beautiful colors and great views, the perfect place for a get together of four feisty fillies.
ReplyDeleteYour not the only one catching up on comments, I am so far behind. I've been out and about on a photo safari!
