We made a brief trip up to the mountains on Saturday with some friends. Al still had some tools stored in the shed at his parents' mountain house, so bringing those tools down to Spartanburg was the primary purpose of our trip.
Saturday was about moving the tools, but it was so much more.
It was time with friends. Breakfast at my favorite Cracker Barrel. Eating pancakes brought to me by my favorite waitress. It was laughter. And singing in the backseat with Cathy while Mike and Al thought we had lost our minds. That made it even funnier. That, and the fact that we couldn't seem to remember all the lyrics to a single song!
Saturday was about nostalgia. Being back in the area where we spent nine years of our lives. Seeing what had changed (there's a new Dollar General in town) and what hadn't (road construction continues on).
And Saturday was about enjoying the beauty of God's creation. Fall in the mountains is my favorite season. Even though many of the trees have already lost their leaves, many were still gloriously arrayed in their autumn colors.
Beautiful weather. Beautiful scenery. Time with friends.
What could be better?
It was a good day in the mountains.
"Bless the LORD, all you works of His, in all places of His dominion; Bless the LORD, O my soul!" (Psalm 103:22 NASB)
