Middle of nowhere, Arkansas

My family owns a cabin in the middle of no where.  We have only had it for about a year, but it is one of our favorite weekend activities.  We can easily travel there for one night, and its sort of half way between us and my parents, so we meet there a lot.  Its very rustic.  It was once a church, long ago, but since then has been converted. In the past year my family has improved it from camping with a ceiling, to adding running water and a bathroom complete with toilet and shower, along with basic kitchen appliances such as a stove, and coffee maker.  We went last weekend. Here are some pics.

Its hard to see because of the shadows.  Its me, Michael, and my parents.  It is hunting season right now, so better safe than dead with the orange. ( We weren't hunting just going for a walk)

It was a beautiful weekend to go!  This creek is just a short walk away.  Last time we were here we found some bear droppings in this very spot.  Its really in the wilderness.  No cell phone reception either, which is part of the appeal. 

Look at these cuties! my parents new dogs.  They are hunting beagles.  I have a soft spot for beagles, my favorite pet ever was Chip, a miniature Beagle.  

These are some cookies I made for  a Halloween party that we had at our house.  Cute huh?  I probably won't post about the party, I am ready to move on from Halloween to the really good holidays.  If you are curious, look on facebook.  I was a hot air balloon!  It was fun.  

This weekend is exciting!! Its Michael's birthday and Katy is coming to stay with me!! woohoo! AND we bought a new couch, light fixture, and side table today.  Pics to come (when we get them in)
