Hello! I'm having one of "those" kinda weeks not bad just busy and eventful for us.
We took our mini vacation to our favorite place Hot Springs Arkansas and it was the sweetest.
We relaxed quite a bit did a lil shopping and visited
Oaklawn Casino and Race Track although the horses weren't running.
I tried to play slots and just didn't get it but Shan is pretty good with Black Jack so I sat and watched her and enjoyed conversation and wine with other people at her table.
We stayed at the little cottage that I wrote about a few post back and it was just as lovely as I knew it would be.

We walked around down town to watch the calming waters of the springs and see other people enjoying themselves.

We bought a few things for our home while browsing flea markets. It was fun! Shan picked out most of the items we purchased can you believe it!? We really needed the basket for our puppy babies so that was our"happy find". The bacon press and salad bowl were items we felt would add to our kitchen space.The salad bowl is my favorite.I think it says "us".

Before heading home we had massages while listening to relaxing music from Shans personal play list. We had a great visit we got to regroup and rewire. We headed home fully relaxed and happy.
When we got to the house I forced my self to go ahead and unpack and put things away which lead to an all out cleanup.So Shan went out to get flowers and that made me happy.

There is nothing like a view of water to relax and calm you down, make you slow to appreciate all the beauty around. That cottage looks so sweet and lovely. I would enjoy my morning coffee staring out at that view!

What a fun time and such a cute little cottage to stay in. Glad you had a good time and were able to relax.
Glad you had a wonderful getaway and got a chance to rest, relax, and reconnect. We all need that sometimes.
Thank you for all your sweet comments and prayers for my family. We really do appreciate them.
The cabin looks adorable and I would just love to wake up to that view.
I've never seen a bacon press before. Obviously you use it to do just that, but to what effect? Does it make it crunchier or help it splatter less?
Those flowers are gorgeous! I love the color, so unexpected. You definitely picked a winner!
Wow it really looks like you had a wonderful and relaxing vacation. I am loving your view!
