Another Year at Brasstown!

Once again, we were back in Young Harris at Brasstown Valley. It is a beautiful place with the most breathtaking scenery. These pics don't do the leaves justice. They were the most vibrant reds, yellows and oranges. The air was brisk. The sun was shining and there was a nip in the air. We arrived early Friday a.m. and enjoyed an exciting weekend!
Breathtaking views out the window overlooking the stables. No horseback riding for us. The closest I got to that was watching Flicka with Tim McGraw Saturday morning. What a sad movie.

Friday night was the big cocktail party. It was a lot of fun. I really wish that I had my camera. There was an apple pie in a cast iron skillet that was about 24" in diameter! At dinner I got to hold Christina's baby, Cate, while she and Kyle ate. She's two months old and just perfect. I also got to meet Ken Sharma, the culprit whose name has been inside Scott's new suits. He and Ricky seem to think they need tailored suits. I'm thinking I may need those boots I've been checking out on J.Crew! Ken and his wife were super sweet. Still hoping to be invited to their only son's wedding that we hope will be in the works soon!
On to mingling. We had a great time with a lively group of people. Let's just say the night ended about 1 a.m. in the sauna! No explanation folks! Then Scott made it in a good bit later after a long night in the lobby next to the fireplace.
Here we are at Mark of the Potter. What a cool place!!! We try to make this trip every year. We drive around the mountains to look at the leaves and take in the sites. We started in Hiawassee at The Hen's Nest, then on to Mark of the Potter, next, The Sautee Store and then into Helen for our annual trip to Betty's Country Store. There's so much yummy stuff there!

Saturday night we grabbed a quick supper with Lee and Fay at the restaurant downstairs. We were watching Cops on Fox at 8:30 and asleep by 9. That goes to show what people do while on vacation sans kids. We watched so much Law and Order on TNT and got very familiar with "Movie and a Makeover" on TBS. It was blissful watching whatever we wanted!
The underneath mill is so interesting and we love to feed the enormous trout!
We were able to watch this woman form a bowl in about 10 mins. It definitely was not Demi Moore in ghost but it would have been interesting to see what this woman would have done had Patrick Swayze wrapped his arms around her!
Our pics that we must take each year to compare to the previous year!!!
Breathtaking views - am speaking of background instead of foreground. lol
