One month ago I created a list of things I wanted to do this autumn. I’m excited to share some of those adventures with you today! 1. All the camping and hiking! ✅ Hooray! We camped for a few days at the Red Gates RV Park & Camping outside Hendersonville, North Carolina. We love this area (just south of Asheville) and this campground. We visited the North Carolina Arboretum and did some hiking there. You know we HAD to eat at…
Hooray for autumn!!! Here in Coastal Georgia we don’t get much autumn color, but we DO get temperatures under 90 degrees! Sometimes. Eventually. Still, it’s a special time of year because we can actually get outside and enjoy it! Outdoor activities feature prominently in my Autumn Adventures list, so let’s get to it! Here are the adventures I hope to enjoy this autumn: 1. All the camping and hiking! Yes! We have trips planned to Hendersonville, North Carolina; Chattanooga, Tennessee;…
It’s way past time for me to join in on Anne’s monthly Currently link up! This month’s prompts are starting, buying, sharing, reading, and recording. I am CURRENTLY… starting to crave all things autumn! Man, I’m ready for fall! Temps are still in the high 80s here in Savannah, Georgia, but that’s a blessed relief from all the 90s and 100s of the last few months! I *might* have baked a pumpkin pie today. And I *might* be…
Whoop whoop! It’s time to link up with The Blended Blog for another fun This or That! And since Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, this round has a decidedly lovey dovey focus! Sounds good to me! 1. Kisses or Hugs? Hugs, but I *do* love kisses too! 2. Candy or Flowers? May I have both?!? 3. Baking or Cooking? Baking something special is always a fun gift. Cooking a special meal is equally wonderful! 4. Do I Remember…
If you’re a regular here at Out and Back you’ll know that I’ve been posting a list of goals/adventures each season. I’ve had SO much fun doing this! You MIGHT have also noticed that I didn’t post a Winter List last month. I have wrestled and wrestled with this one; my brain has adamantly fought against making a list this season. Winter has been and is going to be just a little different than other seasons. Some pretty big things…
Yes, this is way overdue! Better late than never, I say. Better late than never. We checked off a few more fun adventures that I really meant to share with you, so I’ll do that now. My official Autumn Adventures list and link to updates is posted HERE, if you want to peek back and see where I started! Item #5 on my list was to have my Christmas shopping finished before Thanksgiving. That didn’t happen, and I gave myself…
Advent officially begins tomorrow, Sunday, December 3, 2017! I love this time of year. For me it’s a special time of focusing on Jesus, His birth, and His promised return. I’m headed up to the attic to start bringing down Christmas decorations this morning, and the first thing I’ll be setting up is our Advent wreath. I wrote about it last year, and I’d like to share that post with you again today. If you’ve never celebrated Advent, or…
One of my goals for this autumn was to do two of the King Arthur Flour bakealongs. Each month they post a recipe and invite folks to bake the recipe and then post a picture on social media. I’ve wanted to do this for a long time, and I finally got in the kitchen and did it! The recipe for November was Cinnamon Star Bread, and it looked WAY too complicated! My mom taught me that I can cook anything…
Is it just me, or has time been moving at warp speed lately?!? Wow! We’re two months into autumn, and it’s time to share how I’m doing on my Autumn Adventures list. My original list is here, and my October update is here. I’ve had some AMAZING adventures over the last month, and I’m excited to tell you about them! I’m going to give short recaps here today, and then over the next few days (when I’m spending many hours…
Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’ into the future! Which is to say we’re a month into autumn already, and it’s time to revisit my Autumn Adventures List and see how I’m doing! 1. Have a picnic in Forsyth Park in Savannah. Not yet, but I HAVE been planning my food strategy for this one! I’m thinking Smith Brothers will be involved! 2. ✔Go to the beach at least once. YES! Gene and I went to Tybee Island for a…
