Black Hills National Forest Here are some of our recent moments. As we enjoyed more of the beauty surrounding us, it became clear that the time had come to exit the road and enter whatever God has for us next. We have been led to purchase a house in Franklinton, LA, "settle", and pursue adoption. Nothing is easy, but when God leads and you follow, it's good. With all of that said, here are more of our recent adventures enjoyed as transition began. Custer State Park South Dakota Needles Eye Tunnel Crazy Horse Memorial, pictured above, is a work in progress. Isn't it safe to say we all are? We don't intend to do the work ourselves. We know One who is completely capable, just, and loving. Why would we ever take matters into our own less capable hands? Life is hard, but God is good! If anyone would enjoy reading about our next adventure😉, just let us know.
With Ninety Six National Historic Site being a main attraction of this South Carolina town, a walk through is a must if in the area. We were warmly welcomed as soon as we entered the visitor center and encouraged to watch the available film to learn more about this town we had never before heard of. It's always eye opening to visit a place so rich in history. One of the first things most people probably want to know is how the town got its name. It was given by Charleston traders in the early 1700's. They believed it was about ninety-six miles from this area to Keowee which was a Cherokee village in the upper South Carolina foothills. Another notable fact associated with Ninety six is that the first land battle south of New England was fought here. This was in 1775. About six years later, in 1781, the longest field siege of the Revolutionary War took place as 550 loyalists defended Ninety six against 1,000 patriot troops. This gruesome battle lasted almost four f...
Any true fan of HGTV's "Home Town" featuring Ben & Erin Napier will appreciate the following. We surely did enjoy our time here. It is a truly lovely and beautiful place!! If you have the opportunity, book a ride with a tour guide. This was a wonderful experience! While waiting for a place on the tour cart, we enjoyed lunch, strolling through the downtown area and its charming shops, and fun time at the park. This restaurant has a one-of-a-kind idea. Instead of handing out crayons and activity menus to their young guests, they opt for Wikki Stix to create art on the walls. Brilliant!! This area caught my eye as one that Ben and Erin may, at some point, signal out to add to Laurel's beauty. But, even now it offers a certain antique mystique of its own. What follows are the images taken as we rode around town learning more about Laurel and some of the homes featured on the show. Believe it or not, this 6-year-old thoroughly enjoyed his time here. He's defini...
