Destinations

This vehicle holds everything but the kitchen sink.  We have suitcases packes for two weeks of travelling for seven people; a cooler; and a guitar. 

.

.

So far, we have travelled to Booneseville, Kentucky (and had a blast); to Charlotte, North Carolina for a semina (learned a lot); and today, we are in Ashville, North Carolina.  We are going to see the Biltmore Castle.  My husband and I took our older two children when they were young to see this beautiful castle, but our younger four have never been here before.  I am looking forward to showing them this beautiful castle. 

.

.

And guess where were going after this?  To meet a friend that I met through this homeschool blog - Ruth . She lives in the Tennessee mountains.  My family considers this destination as the highlight of our trip.  "When are we going to get there, Mom?"  is a question that I keep getting asked.  I can't wait either!

 

This is a picture of yesterday when we visited Cowpens Battlefield.  Dad's a history buff - he gave a narrative throughout our walk around the battlefield.

Hey. I tried to view your Cure in the Cupboard blog but didnt have any luck. Wanted to know if you had a home remedy for warding off mosquitos and if you had one for fleas for dogs. I just found out that spritzing your mattress with Eucalyptus mixed with water kills bed bugs. Cool, huh???
Let me know if you have any answers to the other questions.
thanks

Oh, I hope you have a wonderful time on the last part of your trip. I'm sure you will have a great time at Ruth's - tell her she needs to post more...her fans await. :). No, I know she is busy. Wish we could travel with you (not in the same vehicle of course - lol, that would be a bit squishy). Jeff & I keep thinking NC would be a nice place to live, we even know what area - even though we have never been there. lol Maybe we should go visit it first, hey?

Oh, the Biltmore, I'd love to tour that too someday. It's fun to dream. I read a book many years ago, as a teen...something about the grand dames -- about the Vanderbilts and other women of society during the Guilded Age. I thought it was just facinating - but tragic at the same time.

Journey Mercies to You and Yours. I pray you have a safe and blessed trip.

About Me

Welcome to our ranch! Come, sit on our porch, have some tea, and stay a while. Were going to have a lot of fun chatting. Bring the kids, too, as we've got lots of room to play, horses to ride, cats and kitties to cuddle, gentle dogs to pet, and baby chickens to look at and hold. We can take trail rides around the alfalfa field, wade through the creek, take a paddle boat to the island on the lake, go fishing, or explore the Black Walnut Forest. There's no hurry around here. We'll just meander about and maybe even pack a picnic basket - Ranch Shekinah is abounding with Mulberry trees, wild blackberries and raspberries, an orchard of apple trees, and a herb garden.
