Heritage Homestead: October 2010

Ok, I know that I am not an ideal blogger. I don't keep my blog updated...I am bad about putting up posts on a regular basis...BUT, I have a really good excuse this time why I haven't. Our family has relocated to Charlotte, North Carolina. We are living with my mother-in-law while waiting for God's next direction for our family. We moved in June and have been trying to get settled and establish a routine for everyone as well as enjoy our new surroundings. The mountains are amazing.....a slice of heaven to behold. God has been gracious to us. We all had our moments of sadness about leaving our home...still do sometimes, but we know that God has a plan for our family and we anxiously await that next adventure. While we wait, we have been so blessed to have found a wonderful church to attend. We have met some wonderful families. We have been encouraged as well as challenged from the pulpit where God's glorious truth is faithfully being proclaimed every Sunday. What a blessing!! We look forward to building relationships and fellowship.

I will try to post a few pictures of the things that we have done while here and a couple of a wonderful trip that my dear friend back home and I took to Missouri before we left. We went to Bakersville Spring Planting Festival in Mansfield, MO....aka Baker's Creek Seeds.....a gardener's heaven....it was a BLAST...I had so much fun..I really want to go back next year.

So, enjoy the posts...I will try to be faithful to post more often. A great big hug to all our friends in the deep south...we miss you!

almost there!!!

coolest pioneer village...a great family outing...

a seed woman's paradise

It's Mayhaw pickin' time at my folks..for those of you who
don't know about Mayhaw's, they are in the
hawthorn family. The juice from these berries
have very powerful cardiac health properties
but, people in the deep south use it for making
the best jelly known to man. Mayhaw jelly!!!
