Cracker Barrel

While fall is in the air, we took the half hour ride to our nearest 

Cracker Barrel

It's a peaceful ride during autumn, most of the leaves were still on the trees,

and seeing the brilliant colors was especially special for the senses.

We did not stop and take pictures of the trees, the images are ingrained in my memory.

We took the drive to Cracker Barrel to experience the fall foliage, 

and were a little surprised it was decorated for Christmas.

So this is a mixed bag, the ride for autumn, the pictures are Christmas themed.

 The shop was so pretty.

- the best things in life are the people we love, 

the places we've been and the memories we've made along the way -

A Walk Through Spring Lake

We have been getting out a little more, on Saturday we went for a ride in 

Spring Lake to see the Seward Johnson exhibit.

It was a bit like a scavenger hunt, exploring around town to find the 16 statues.

We found all but two,

 and one of the two I would like to go back and look for...a loving couple underneath an umbrella.

The stores were handing out these nice brochures. 

The artist Seward Johnson was born in New Jersey.

"It's easy sometimes to forget the simple things that give us pleasure. 

If we open our eyes, life is marvelous.

The human spirit triumphs, if only for moments a day. 

I try to have my work call attention to those moments."
