Trip to the Mts., Coffee in Morn, Breakfast, Mail, Views around the Cabin

 Morning!

Thursday, Nov. 7th I started out for
the mountains!

It was a cloudy sort of day,
however, as I traveled up I40
to the mountains, it did clear up.

Leaving around 1:30pm made me
getting to the cabin after dark.
Would have been there around 7 my
time but due to bathroom stops, missing
the house at first and the fact that the mts
are an hour ahead, I made it shortly
before nine.

Let me tell you, the Appalachian Mts.
are steep and curvy!
Really curvy and after dark
seem to appear more so.

But, I made it safe and sound.

Morning brought sunshine and
a great cup for coffee!

Ray, Lori and I went 
to breakfast.


Stopped at the local 
post office.

Actually, this is now the 
post office since the floods
took out the original one.
More on the floods at another time.

I ventured out to the creek and laid
out on a big boulder to take this
eye level pic.


I walked over the bridge on the 
road the cabin is on and
took these pics.

Yep, that is the cabin on 
the right side.


Standing in the yard, catching
the breeze, listening to the creek and 
twirling around!

So pretty.


Going around the bend 
next to the cabin.


There are more pics of my
first day at the cabin but
I loaded them on to my 
laptop and guess what, 
I left that in the mts.
When Ray and Lori come 
home I will either have to 
go get it or get
it in two weeks when we
all meet for a family reunion. 

I thought I had it all packed 
up but DUH, I did not.

Hoping you had a great
weekend,
Pam

Sorry about your computer. I need that "probably whiskey" mug. I mean, for me it'll never be whiskey, but I think it's funny anyway.

When you said that truck was the post office at first I thought WOW that must be a really little town. Good thing they were able to do something like that after the floods.

Sorry you forgot your laptop, but glad you made it there safely in the dark. The mountains are mysterious at night.

Have a fabulous day. Scritches to the kitties. ♥

The Rest of Today

Image
After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after him. I had to snap a pic of Kelley making sure that I got

Hot Water Heater Mishaps

Image
 As I stated the hot water heater sprung a leak, from the bottom.  My younger brother came to help  with the issue. Problem, the  value at the bottom where you screw in  the hose to drain the tank, was  all clogged up.  It sets so close to the bottom  that it is hard to slip a  bucket under to catch water if we were to get the clog undone. There was no moving it till water was drained off the tank. We opened the top value, and leaned it over to drain into buckets. I have a great big  plastic tub, like this one. We filled it by leaning the  hot water heater over. Finally got enough off to be able to slid onto the two wheeler  and move out of the garage. Once we had it there,  we lowered it to the ground and let it finish with the drain. Mark went to Lowes and got another one, installed it and  had me up and running. The damage had been done though. With the unit on the  other side of the BR, water came under the wall and flooded the BR,  and the carpet in the den.  Yes, the same two roo
