It's been more than a year since I've posted anything on this blog. Wow. MORE. THAN. A. YEAR. A lot has happened, and we have done several things to the cabin in that time. Also had a lot of family trauma over the last year, too. Anyhoo, here I am!
For one thing, my brother in law passed away unexpectedly in February, and my mother in law passed away from cancer about a month later. As a result, we had my hubby's two brothers move in with us for a while (one of whom is disabled). They stayed for a little over 5 months. The bright spot in our year was the birth of our little granddaughter! She has been wonderful, and we sure are enjoying her.
As far as work on the cabin goes, because of all the family trauma, we didn't go up for about 6 months. So in that time, obviously, nothing at all was done. Now that we are able to go up and enjoy it, we have been!!! One recent project was getting a fire pit built. This October will be filled with s'mores and crackling fires! We can't wait to have our first one!
Here it is in all it's glory!

| Sunset on Lake Blue Ridge |
One evening, we decided to head out to the lake (about 20 minutes away) and take a picnic with us. We were treated to this magnificent sunset as a result! Well worth the effort to pack everything and go to the lake, right? I think so! :)
