I have no desire to be at the beach right now. It's the mountains for me. I love the Smokies, but I really loved what you said about being overwhelmed when they are looming over you in the valley. I can't stop thinking about the spiritual applications of that very thought. Spot on.

We will have to give this lodge a try some time. I used to live in your neck of the woods. I lived in the triad area of NC for 14 years before moving back to my hometown in Virginia. I miss NC a lot! Well, except for the heat in the summer! lol! I've enjoyed looking around your blog. Have a great day. :)Donna~One Simple Country Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09386112721487172023noreply@blogger.com
