Simply Getting Away
Today I am grateful for safe travels and time away this weekend. I am also grateful for the physical capabilities that allowed us to take in a new area on foot.
It was nice to just drive a reasonable distance; no complicated travel arrangements, no need to leave at a certain time to make a certain timeline. Thanks for doing all the driving Darcy. I do appreciate it!
It was nice to see a new area and have new experiences. Darcy and I had some time to ourselves, enjoyed the scenery of southwestern Wisconsin and the solitude of a quiet stay in a comfortable cabin.
Less noise, little to no hustle and bustle, fewer distractions. We did some snowshoeing and hiking and were treated to ideal weather and sunshine. We played Zilch, Phase 10, and Yahtzee and watched an old movie on a DVD player. We hadn't used one of those in years. We enjoyed the warmth and ambience of a fireplace, and the quiet and nighttime darkness you only get away from suburbia.
The accommodations were simple, our agenda simple too, but very enjoyable. Simply getting away.
Simply enjoying the experience.
Here is some of the beauty we were surrounded by. Simply trees and snow. More on the story of this land tomorrow.
