few words friday

I'm writing this snuggled up in front of a fireplace in a cozy little room in the Tennessee mountains. I'm surrounded by bear statues that would make me roll my eyes if they were anywhere else, but here they're just adorable. We'd planned on hiking this weekend, but it's so, so cold and very, very rainy. (Also: No Dollywood.) However, the kids are overjoyed to just be in a room with cable, so they're happily, quietly curled up by the warm glow of Cartoon Network, building with Lincoln Logs and drinking hot chocolate. I'm happy, too. If I decide to actually get up and do something, I'll post some pictures. Y'all have a lovely weekend!
