My Soap Opera Weekend...

Here I am in Emerson, just North of Atlanta. It is early October and it is a beautiful Autumn day! Having left Savannah weather behind, I am surprised at how cold it feels here in the mountains. Cyrus and I are staying with my wonderful friends, Bobby and Chris. Their home is exquisite and Chris has made everything just perfect. The guest room is gorgeous, all done in silver, black, and white. My towels are tied with a bow, there are bottles of Perrier waiting in the guest bath. Every amenity is in place...there were even chocolates waiting by the bed. Chris just has that "something extra" that turns an ordinary visit into something that I think I would see on a soap opera. Candles are lit, appetizers are tastefully arranged in beautiful autumnal serving dishes, crisp white wine is chilled and ready to serve, and the view from her patio is breathtaking...yup, I died and woke up in the middle of General Hospital. She has made this a wonderful memory that I will store away and pull out whenever I need to feel peaceful, blessed, and just happy. I'm posting some pictures so you can share the fun with me. Enjoy the slideshow above.
