Mother's Day and Scented Sachet Winner

Hello Everyone,
I hope that all of you Moms out there had a wonderful Mother's day yesterday. Sorry I didn't have much time to be on here lately since I do have some guests over for a few weeks and hubby is at home too. We did have a wonderful day yesterday starting with a picnic right off the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia. The Blue Ridge Parkway is on top of a mountain ridge that runs from Tennessee to Northern Virginia and its the highest portion of the appalachian mountain range, an area of approx 20,000 square miles.


As you can see here we had lots of fresh air and wonderful views . Then after we filled our tummies we headed further on the parkway until we found Mabry Mill. This mill is quite a sight, its gorgeous and its surrounded by historic preserved homes and buildings. It was built around 1900 by a couple named Ed and Lizzy Mabry. They ground corn for their neighbors for roughly 30 years, ending in the mid 1930s.



I hope you enjoy these photos. I have uploaded the rest of the photos I took to my Flicker if you are interested in taking a look. It was a gorgeous sunny and warm day for a little trip up the mountains and I enjoyed it as so did the rest of my family. All the fresh mountain air just wore us all out, my son fell asleep and I kept nodding while in the car driving back home.


Now for the winner of Scented Sachet....My little guy was taking care of it... here is him holding the basket with everyone's name:


Closed his eyes, no peekeing
