And now my chance is gone for another year. Thankfully, my shopping is finished and the decorated tree is standing tall. So, I can sleep in or relax over another cup of coffee or play with photos from a recent vacation.
A few weeks ago, we decided that a long relaxing weekend was in store for us. Found a beautiful Victorian-style bed and breakfast for the layover and then set out for three fun-filled days.

A view across The Little Buffalo River. In her later years, Granny married and moved to the beautiful home place of Papa Claude Matlock There once was a swinging bridge across the river at just about this point.
As a child, I remember being terribly frightened
of the bridge
swinging to and fro.
We love the Buffalo River area. David and the girls spent many a long weekend playing on the river as the girls grew up.
ReplyDeleteIt is still as beautiful as ever. Was quite tame in November.....but wow, what a rush March, April and May waters will be. When I was much younger, we canoe floated the rapids.
