It's FINALLY beginning to feel like fall

here in North Alabama -- 

My favorite time of year -- We LOVE camping in the fall - 

and hanging around a campfire 

making s'mores

[yum!!]

We still have warm days [in the 80*s,] 

but we're beginning to have some awesome cooler nights ---

 

 I enjoyed doing Bible Study by the light of a lantern 

while Craig was watching a ball game.

[Hey! I never said we 'roughed' it!]

 And we love cooking hobo meals 

in foil packets placed in the coals of hot [HOT!!] fire -

These photos are from a couple of weeks ago [have I shared them already?!]

We camped at one of our favorite campgrounds [DavID Crockett] and just enjoyed a relaxing time together - had a quick visit with a sweet cousin of mine who has recently fully embraced the camping lifestyle - wish I'd realized we were in the same place sooner!

[See, I told you --- no roughing it here -

Our little RV - just big enough for the two of us -]

This weekend we camped a little closer to home - 

at a great campground up on Monte Sano!

It was fun to get away with friends and 

enjoy dinner together on Friday evening - 

[Thanks for the photo Doris -

but we should have got one with ALL of us in it!!]

More friends joined us for hobo meals 

[we love them, what can I say?!?] on Saturday night.

We should have taken a  photo then too!!!

Great place to camp, with wonderful trails to hike, etc.

But there was a problem -

The cell service was sketchy -- 

As in, run-the-battery-down-hunting-for-a-signal sketchy -

And sad to say... we've just got to be connected --

Soooo - I'm not sure if we'll be back, 

even if it is just 20 minutes or so from our house...
