A Wonderful Weekend

For our anniversary, David took me to a beautiful inn called Gorham's Bluff Lodge. It's an elegant place which overlooks the Tennessee River. From our room on the top floor, we could see for miles. And when we woke up the next morning, it had snowed a little bit, but enough to make everything beautiful. We especially enjoyed the fireplace in our room, since we love a fire and don't have one at home. We had a great time being together - we love each other's company!


We put out our shoes on Saturday and St. Nicholas visited overnight! Abby and Thomas were thrilled! Abby and I made candy cane cookies, too, but they were definitely not photo-worthy! But we had a good time baking them and Abby liked serving them to the family yesterday.


On Sunday after church we went to Sewanee, Tennessee, to the University of the South's service of Nine Lessons and Carols at the All Saints Chapel. Snow on the ground added to our enjoyment of the event.

The Chapel is very beautiful, especially the stained glass windows and it was decorated beautifully for Christmas. The music, by the college choir and musicians, was wonderful. We were so glad we went!
