Wow--your trip to Maggie sounded wonderful. Must have been alot of bad weather in that area.. Until yesterday, we hadn't had much rain at all here on the plateau.. BUT--it's rained alot the past couple of days. It's been cool enough for a fire in the fireplace each night. LOVE IT.<br /><br />Glad you made it back to Biltmore. That place is awesome. Haven't been to the orchard you mentioned. Will have to check it out sometime. <br /><br />We love Maggie --and Cataloochie Valley. Did you see the elk? <br /><br />Our vacation was awesome --but it's nice to be home. My son's wedding is this weekend --so the fun continues. NO REST FOR THE WEARY.... ha<br /><br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-16513971060053291682012-09-30T06:22:34.165-04:002012-09-30T06:22:34.165-04:00nice post thanks for sharing!nice post thanks for sharing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-48456570888065943622012-09-28T20:51:18.393-04:002012-09-28T20:51:18.393-04:00Oh, my, your photos are wonderful!

A visit with a friend or a change of pace seems to make quite a difference. Enjoy your weekend in your lovely part of the country.

Even though I had plenty of 'fun' things or chores to do, I would not want to do any of them and would be bored. and yes, would eat.<br /><br />Those roses are beautiful.

It's not the space; it's the absence of freedom.<br /><br />I've also made the connection that boredom and not having anything to do are entirely separate things. For me, it boils down to having a purpose in each moment, and I'm having *some* success with reminding myself that my purpose is not to be fixing a snack. Unless, of course, I'm truly hungry. :) And then I think about things I'm passionate about and find something related to one of those things to do.Cammy@TippyToeDiethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00547787031318303521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-68109414800527905342012-09-20T18:52:54.384-04:002012-09-20T18:52:54.384-04:00OMG YES!!!!

I have some blooming late right now and they make me happy just to look at them.<br /><br />I would love to see the Biltmore some time. <br /><br />I get bored and I eat. Sometimes I get bored while working if I have the same doctor the whole day to transcribe.

I know I have to keep busy doing even the most menial task to keep myself occupied. I think that is probably the same thing.<br />LoriLorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06348740719854853661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-14861680212559648332012-09-20T10:30:59.324-04:002012-09-20T10:30:59.324-04:00I'd say boredom is my #1 trigger to eat... it...I'd say boredom is my #1 trigger to eat... it ranks above stress even. When I find myself bored, I'm like you , and I better find something to do quick! Or if what I'm working on workwise feels boring, I better do something else for a while. You are right, boredom does not equal having nothing to do.<br /><br />I saw your text, and I'm glad you were able to go back and enjoy Gooseberry Knob!! I really believe with a good book, I could stay up there all day.<br /><br />I want to know more about the 1&2 above...looking forward to what you learned about yourself this week.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04134112483941066017noreply@blogger.com
