After the hoopla

After our family flew the friendly skies to Boston for other visits, we took off for Asheville North Carolina to see the Biltmore Mansion by candle light. You could not take pictures inside, but I will try to give you some insights for your imagination! It was suprisingly warm inside this fortress of stone. Candles were blazing here and there as you walked into the entry. Carolers sang old fashioned songs in beautiful harmony. The tour was self guided so we passed thru the many rooms. What made a most grand impression was the formal dining room, with three fireplaces blazing at one end of the room, and a 40 foot decorated Christmas tree at the other end. Very romantic. On that note, here is my romantic hubby!

Fun in the sun! You could feel a little warmth!

The Hills are clothed with gladness. Psalm 65:12. Yes how serene and beautiful this was but bitterly cold. This vista is what the Vanderbilts viewed outside of their home.

Locals told us it was unseasonably cold for them for this time of year. Oh well. We made the best, bundled up and drank alot of coffee :).

I never pass up spending time with my hubby as he is the love of my life!

If you ever get the urge, North Carolina is a nice place to visit in the fall.

May He (God) give you the desire of your heart, and make all your plans succeed. Psalm 20:4.
