Colors from Maggie Valley

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,

Be sure to read yesterday's blog---in order to understand this one!!!!

I do have a signal here at the cabin---so I will get to post a blog when there's time. Of course, with all of the yakking and talking the four of us have done today, that doesn't leave much time for blogging!!!!! I also have to iChat with my hubby ---to make sure he's behaving himself!!!! ha

The cabin is nice ---and other than smoking up the house by not having the flue open when we lit a fire in the fireplace, things are GREAT. I got here first --so took a few pictures to share today. Above is our view from the deck at the cabin. We are 4000 feet UP, and the road up is rugged. Below are some of the inside of the cabin.

This is looking toward the living room/dining area. The fireplace is to the left, and the deck wraps around the cabin.

This is looking up toward the loft area. That area upstairs is my room. I have a king bed in the bedroom, private bath and sitting room area up there. Pretty NICE... There are two bedrooms downstairs --which the other three are using.

This is from the living room --looking toward the kitchen. We had a delicious dinner tonight of pork chops on the grill, baked apples, sweet potatoes, peas, rolls and cake.

This is our screened in porch ---where I'm sure we will sit and enjoy each other this week.

Maggie Valley is a gorgeous area --and our cabin is nice. As I said previously, the only thing we don't care for is the steep and rugged road up here. All of us said that we may stay here forever and never leave. Ha Ha.... (My honey would have to move in here too though!!!)

Have a great Wednesday.

Hugs,
