Someone had a BIG Birthday --3/9/17

GEORGE EMERY ADAMS 

Dear Friends,  Click HERE to send a shout-out to GEORGE.  He turned 75 last Thursday!!!!!!   I wanted to make sure he had a great birthday --BUT because I had been so sick,  I didn't want to stray away from home for long... SO--- since he LOVES WATERFALLS,   we went to Cumberland Falls State Park in Kentucky.

Even though we only stayed there one night,   I think he had a great day ---and I did fine (although I truly took it easy since I still have lots of congestion and not much energy nor lung power)...  One of these days--I'll get totally well..?????

BUT--this post is about George...  I know that many of you don't care for Facebook --but we had so much fun for a couple of days communicating back and forth with friends/family --celebrating G's birthday...  I think he had over 100+  Happy Birthday messages...  Such a joy sharing this joy back and forth! One thing about Facebook is the 'current' communication that we can get.

SO---today I'll share some of those pictures I put on Facebook --along with pictures from Cumberland Falls...  Hope you enjoy this blog post... You can click on the pictures for enlargements...

My message to George on Facebook on his Birthday

Who is that Monkey climbing all over the rocks --trying to hide from ME?????  This picture was on Facebook.  (Arkansas 2/15/17)  

Someone is on top of the world!!!!    OR maybe  he is surrendering to the police????? ha ha ...  I asked the Facebook folks to come up with a good caption for this one ---and we got some GREAT ones!  (Arkansas, 2/16/17)

Love seeing the mist up close --at Cumberland Falls 

Lots of water coming over the falls at Cumberland Falls  (3/9/17)

The Birthday Boy has his tripod ready to get some great pictures at Cumberland Falls.

We had hoped to see the MOONBOW (rainbow at night) that night ---and there WAS a moon up there trying to shine down...  BUT--as you can see,  there were enough thin clouds to keep that moon from being EXTREMELY bright... Because of that,  George could only get pictures of the moonbow with his camera (on a special setting).  We could not see it with the naked eye..

This  is part of the moonbow (captured by George's Canon) on 3/9/17.  Believe it or not but it was totally DARK when he took this picture... George will post an even better picture of the moonbow both on Facebook and on his blog.  (Remember that it was totally dark and that we couldn't see this with the naked eye.)

Well,  besides enjoying Cumberland Falls both during the day and at night,  we also enjoyed a delicious Birthday Dinner at the state park lodge restaurant...  All in all,  it was a great day and I hope that my Sweetheart enjoyed it as much as I did...

We got home the next afternoon ---and guess what I did???????  Went to bed for a long nap!!!! ha

Have a great week, my Friends,  and don't miss seeing George's blog post today. Click HERE  to see a REALLY great Moonbow picture.

Hugs,

Our special Cabin at Mt. Nebo State Park in Arkansas (Feb 13-17, 2017)

This year's visit to Cabin 60 at Mt. Nebo State Park in Arkansas was another fantastic week....Most of you who have followed my blog for years have heard all about this little cabin (which we call "OURS")....  Here are just a few of the things we love about being there:
-the little rustic cabin itself (perfect for us)
-the amazing wood-burning fireplace
-the total relaxation we feel when there
-the fantastic view of the valley below from our cabin on that mountain
-the wonderful back patio/porch where we can enjoy  life in peace
-the wildlife we enjoy seeing while there
-the quietness and solitude in that area (our cabin is not that close to other cabins)
-the hiking on that mountain
-the beautiful sunrises and sunsets we see while there;  We drive to Sunrise Point to see the sunrise,  but we can go outside into our back yard and see the sunset from there this time of year.

Today I will share with you some pictures taken this year around the cabin.  Hope you enjoy seeing more from Mt. Nebo...

A view of the valley below from the side of our cabin

Beautiful morning sky from Mt. Nebo as we waited for the sun to appear!

Our cabin from a distance (as we were coming back from a hike)

Another morning sunrise;  I was interested in seeing the mist on the water that morning.

Turkey Buzzard  (Not a pretty face --but gorgeous while watching them in flight)

Oh how we love to sit outside of our cabin and check out the views and the beauty.

A gorgeous sunrise from Mt. Nebo;  It is so wonderful to watch that sun pop up!!!!  (You can see a larger version of this sunrise as my header picture this month.)

Another view from the edge of the mountain as we walked toward our cabin

We love watching the deer on that mountain each year we go!!!

Sunset taken from our back porch/patio;  This is so special!!!

Can you tell how much we LOVE being there?  Of all of our annual vacations to favorite places,  this has to be my all-time favorite...  As much as I love Ocean Isle Beach,   I am truly a mountain gal at heart!!!!!  Thanks to my Sweetheart for taking me to Mt. Nebo every year!!!!

Have a wonderful week, my friends...   I have had a relapse to my Respiratory problem --so am still struggling... I'm going back to the doctor tomorrow for the 2nd time... Pray for me please.  This is SO hard!

Hugs,
