A family get-away to Roan Mountain

Husband, daughter, my mom, and I went on a quick weekend get-away to a lovely cabin on Roan Mountain. Our farmsitter came and stayed the weekend with the menagerie. A few minutes after she walked in the door she was on the sofa with cats and Corgis snuggling in.

The fall color was beautiful and we had one rainy day with clouds rolling in and out over the mountain tops like surf, then a morning of snowflakes and then sunshine.

It was fun to take a little trip together and just as fun to get back home again.

I have some projects to finish this week and will get to them starting on Wednesday!

  1. Sounds like a great trip. You’re so lucky to have found a barn/house sitter. I wish there were someone around here that we could find. Good luck with your projects.

  2. We are very lucky. She rode ponies with both my children when they were in pony school - she was a little older than them. Her mom taught both my kids to ride! And our farmsitter not only grew up with ponies, dogs, cats, etc. she worked as an equine vet tech for several years (for our vet practice, no less) so if anything goes wrong she not only knows when to call the vet, she has an inside line to them. :) She’s terrific but I suspect when she meets someone and gets serious and settles down she won’t be able to spend the night the way she does now. Until then we are enjoying her services!
