The miles quickly slipped away as my friend and I headed to Elk Falls, friendly chatter keeping us entertained. We stopped at Wal-Mart to make sure we had enough to eat for the weekend and then over to Dairy Queen to get a bite of supper. It was cold, dark and rainy when we finally arrived at our cabin that night, but when the next day dawned, the sun made a valiant effort to shine. It seemed the rain had been left behind and the suns warm rays cheered our spirits.
We were in no hurry to start our day. Rest and relaxation were the main things on the agenda for the weekend. However, I soon had to work up some strength to kill a spider hiding out in the shower. Later Doris burned off some calories whacking at a wasp. We had a delicious brunch and then I started a puzzle while Doris went to chat with the neighbors.Later we headed out for a walk. The roads were quite muddy from the recent rains but still it was a lovely morning! Then we decided to check out the town.
We found a couple cute churches. The doors were locked
so we had to content ourselves with peeking in the windows.
This outhouse with a bit of history on the door, captured our attention. It is not for the squeamish.
The two shops in town were closed so we headed for the falls.
When we got back to the cabin we worked on the puzzle, read deeply spiritual books (such as "Anne's House of Dreams"), snacked and napped. Then suddenly it was time to go out again so we went for a spin on the Kubota.
We stopped to climb a tree stand but did not see any deer,
nor did we wish to shoot any.
That night our friends came for supper.
One day we spent some time at this lovely park in Sedan.
And Sunday afternoon found us heading home once again, rested and refreshed,
and ready to face the challenges of another week.
