I wish I had my actual camera with me at the time. This shot was taken with my cell phone-doesn't do it justice. If you have the chance, put Suttle Lake Lodge on your list of places to go. The trails are unbelievable and it's fairly close to the town of Bend and closer still to the quaint town of Sisters. They have really cute log cabins or you can stay in the lodge. The restaurant was lovely and the food was really good. I wish they would have had more vegetarian and vegan options but we made out ok. The trail walk was the highlight! Lucy thought she died and went to doggy heaven. She didn't stand still for long but I was able to grab a quick cell phone shot between darts and dashes.
We made it home by 4, grabbed a light snack for dinner and poured a wonderful glass of 2006 Kunde Zinfandel. Our son and his fiancée gave us a fancy Vinturi Red Wine Tower so we could thoroughly enjoy our red wines. Wow, what a difference! I'm avoiding going to bed tonight, knowing that when I wake up, I won't have any of my kids or grandkids with us to celebrate Christmas. It's going to be really quiet! Yet, this remains my favorite time of the year. I'm so thankful for the gift that God gave us over two thousand years ago, when He humbled Himself and came in the form of a babe! I'm also thankful that it's my birthday on Christmas so I always feel a little extra special. In light of Christmas, I won't be posting a blog tomorrow. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all. However you celebrate this season, may you experience insurmountable joy!
