Spend a Weekend Resting, Relaxing & Recharging
We live in a very fast paced world. We are constantly on the go..school, extracurricular activities, appointments, errands, meetings, commitments, responsibilities. And when we are home we are rarely relaxed, there’s always some chore that needs tending to, homework to be done, bills to be paid, and on and on. You get my drift. You...

Apple Pickin’ at Evans Orchard in Georgetown, Kentucky

It was a wonderful getaway….hiking, swimming in the lake, grilling out, napping, crocheting, riding in a paddle boat, enjoying the scenery from our lakefront cabin, reading books, and soaking up the sunshine. This park...
