Helen, GA Vacation - Day 2

On Tuesday, Summer and I made pancakes and bacon for breakfast.  Then it was off for a hike.
Ravens Cliff Falls 



The amount of little rapids in the creek is just so calming to me.




Even though it is winter and all the leaves have fallen, there was still a lot of green in the woods.  So pretty!





I just love this. :)




Pretty little falls.












Wish I could sit here all day.






More falls.









Isn't this gorgeous?





I love the rock.





The trail at times had a lot of people on it.  It was nice once we got to the falls to be able to climb up higher and be by ourselves.




View from the top.




Best part of vacation.













View from our porch of our cabin.


I did wish it was a tad warmer to sit outside. :)



I guess Autumn took a photo of Eric and me cooking. :)




Working on our 2025 Vision Boards and 2024 Year in Review.  These are very fun to work on as a group. :)


Even Eric joined in which made me happy.






We then had our crawfish boil.  This is a special meal we do as a family at least once a year.  Getting back to our Cajun roots. :)


Crawfish, shrimp, andouille sausage, lemons, red potatoes, corn on the cob, onions, heads of garlic, whole mushrooms and the crawfish boil seasoning.  Eric added an entire jar of jalapenos this year to it as well.



This girl ate a LOT of garlic. LOL!







Demolished it!


Usually, we just lay down newspaper on the table and dump the boil on top.  I decided to slit a large garbage bag to protect the table and lay on top of the table.  We then put newspaper over that.  Once we were done, we literally just gathered it up in three seconds and it was cleaned up!!


We then played games, had cocoa and sparkling cider and put on our silly, fancy glittery eyelashes.  Ha!




Happy New Year's Eve!

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
