Cabins at Healing Springs

 The Cabins at Healing Springs 1097 E. Healing Springs Road, Crumpler, NC 28617 http://www.cabinsathealingsprings.com "tucked away at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mtns. ... discovered in 1884 and was originally called Thompson's Bromine and Arsenic Springs..." It was a fun getaway late March early April 2023 that the hubby and I did take. So cute. Amazing what you can live without. Is that what folks are calling a "minimalist lifestyle" aren't all the hip cool folks doing it?? I am kidding there. Amazing you don't need it all (or at least what the world thinks you need to be happy, healthy and all well??!) to relax and chill. A queen-sized bed, restroom, fridge, toaster, coffee maker, plates, cups and silverware. & most importantly, so says my hubby, a endless supply of the best water you can ever have. LOL!! Now it is so difficult to wash dishes in a bathroom sink that is super tiny, but it can be done. You might get some water on the floor & here...

Catawba, N.C.

  A day trip while visiting in North Carolina in late March, early April 2023 ...we got to see Catawba. Such a sweet town. Small in size but such character. Anyone know why Pepsi keeps changing their emblem? I mean why? What was wrong with what they had in the past; I think you need to keep similar to what you had ...changing it too much will just look silly. "LOGO", is the word I am looking for ... doing a bit of research and I see that 125th anniversary of Pepsi is in 2024.... so, they will be revealing and making a big too do about it then ...guess we will just have to wait and see??!? Which do you prefer small or larger city/towns? Thanks, for stopping by today. Hope you are well. Take Care. Beth ( ;

  Last weekend we went for a ride ...did I take pictures? Did I even think about it, did that thought even enter into my thought process at all? NOPE.  I guess I am gonna have to get a clue, Beth ...you might need to do that, LOL!!!  How is life going friends? Can you believe it's February? Every year I say I am gonna remember this day, or this month, it will be stuck into my mind, my memory bank and I will remember it so well for years to come.
