Back from vacation in NC and GA

back home and so exhausted but have to load some work on my etsy shop and thought i'd add our vacation pics to share

so we stayed at a little tiny home cottage approx 1200 square feet including a loft, we brought the dogs as always and thought as Henry has had a rough time of it, it may be his last  one and he loves to travel and gets so excited on vacation as we all just chill and hang out together.


we got to do lots of antiquing and and just enjoy the cottage and the dogs and life in general. I lost my dear friend in oct and Dan lost a very good friend in July and  just yesterday his dear dear friend lost his several years battle with cancer yesterday morning. so i guess this happens at our ages, we are in our silver years and my truth has been to release things i dont need and to release people who are too difficult to deal with, and it may be not because they are awful, but it may be i just dont have the ability to understand them.  

so here are my personal pics, hope you enjoy them, something about being in the country makes my heart calm and strengthens my faith in God.


Loading up and heading out

 beautiful little cottage

 no way i could climb up there but Dan said it was beautiful

 Poor little Henry, but we discovered was the food for his kidneys is too rich for him and made him so sick, i think he got pancreatic problems from it, so we stopped all his meds which he was taking for all these symptoms (as one night he just shook and drooled and cried, the meds helped him for that)and just gave him plain chicken and his regular food and he is doing so much better, sigh another appt on mon to let dr know, we to do something else for his kidneys.

 small but feels so spacious, love the white wood

 this view was so inspiring and made me so grateful for having Dan and Kipp and the lil ones

 Henry my dear Henry

Dan picking up dog poop

 little Archie would run ahead and roll down the hill and just get all tangled up in the plants and shrubs and yet Henry who just walked the perimeter marking and stayed away from the brush had 3 ticks, must be that sweetness in him, old Archie is full of piss and vinegar giggle

 the neighbors had bees

out and about

 antique and flea market

 a purchase! we found a small mantle we are going to just add to the wall

got the cow painting and french apartment with courtyard and garden sign

 lunch, burger and cuban

 getting better

 Archie worried about his best buddy

 fresh air is good for what ails you

 heading home and Henry is ready!
