Take A Rest...

~Rest~

Sometimes we forget this very simple word.

A couple of week-ends ago, I was blessed to go with  two special friends for a few days of "rest". This is the third year we have done this...and I do wonder why we all think we can live our lives without a little quiet and rest...it really does matter. 
My sweet Grandmother would always call it "gathering her thoughts"....love it!

Sometimes it might just be an hour or so...not always a week~end...but the Lord does use it to renew our busy lives.

Time to share with friends...reading wonderful books...knitting...many cups of tea...watching a very lame movie(which I brought~so sorry Nancy and Sue) :)...time to prepare Amazing and Delicious meals...
~we each provide two meals~
Brilliant!

Have you ever tried Butternut Squash Pancakes with warm applesauce on top?

I know, I know...I wasn't sure either, when Nancy announced what she was fixing for breakfast the next morning...I'm not a real big squash eater, but these were so Wonderful!

And how about a Yumm Bowl??

You have NEVER heard of it? Neither had I, and while Sue was busy in the kitchen preparing, I was busy knitting away, and wondering what in the world a Yumm Bowl was going to be!

It was YUMMY!!!

Can't wait to make some for Mike and I!

We were blessed with ONE HOUR of not pouring down rain...and that was right when we started out on our ONE HOUR WALK! The Lord blessed us with Beauty and great exercise!

L O V E L Y   ladies!   So grateful for their special friendship...many years together!

I thought this was a funny street sign ...

"He leads me along the right paths, for His name's sake."   Ps. 23:3

There was almost no Detroit Lake. Still very beautiful!

Have you ever seen the bottom of a lake before?

Our Beautiful "little" cabin!
