Little Cabin in the Ozarks


Our family vacation in the Ozarks was absolutely delightful!

The scenery was beautiful.
The weather was breezy.
The opportunity to bask in nature was refreshing.
The cabin was cozy.
The R&R was exactly what we all needed.

Some days we hiked. Some days we swam in the Buffalo River. One day we went to Silver Dollar City. Another day we visited the cute little shops in quaint, downtown Jasper. It's so small it only has one grocery store, two gas stations, and no stop lights! Quite a blessed change from the hustle and bustle of the city!

Nearly every day we spent time loafing around our log cabin with the spectacular view and porch that always beckoned. Reading, playing games, taking naps, and laying around filled many an hour. It was pure bliss. :-)

I am so grateful for this vacation that the Lord (and my hard-working Dad) provided! I have returned feeling rested, refreshed, and blessed by God's creation.

Pictures await you here...but be warned - they don't do justice to the glorious beauty we encountered!

Katrina, is everything okay with Stephen and Tara Craig? We are all dying for an update, and the silence at Daughters of Vision is beginning to scare me. I hope they're just busy with life!

Yes, all is well in the Riddell and Craig families. I just spoke with Tara yesterday and she indicated that she has not had one spare moment since her wedding day for a blog post! But she wants to return to blogging soon, so hopefully you will be hearing from her in the not-too-distant-future!
