We had such a relaxing weekend in a nice old fashion cabin in Arkansas. The cabin was built back in the 1930's and was on Lake Hamilton. The owner's father built these cabins and he actually lived in one of them. It was like a cabin should be. Old timey stove, as you can see. I so enjoyed cooking on that white little stove. The windows were so back in the day that you had to push them down. Gas stove and heaters were our friends that weekend. But was really cool is the bathtub had hot tub jets! We spent a lot of time by the beautiful lit up gazebo and enjoyed looking at the lake and reading. The kids played in the woods along with 2 dogs. The creeks were so pretty and peaceful, and the snow and ice were the icing on the cake, LITERALLY!!! We cooked on the grill and roasted hotdogs and marshmallows. And enjoyed lots of hot chocolate! I so love the woods,nothing like a Big campfire and being with family in the middle of snow!!
Sometimes things never work out the way we plan. We can try VERY hard to perfect something. It can be a sport, any talent, a job, or even the way we live our lifes, but when we see that somethings we do turn out to be less than perfect, it kinda just makes us see the laughter and humor in our bloopers!! Bailee and I worked for 2 hours on this 3-D Easter house. It fell apart many times, but we kept on piecing it back together. So there was a lesson in this. When we feel like all around us is falling down, that pieces of our being are not what we want them to be, we must keep on trying and eventually it will all come together in the end. For a house is not a home without a little hard work, sometimes things break and fall all around us, but taking time to fix them or us is so worth it!
