    Mike and Karen. Nice place to stay. I love watching you two. Winston is so sweet. You are blessed. 😊 We cannot travel right now. So it helps me to feel like I am traveling when I watch you. Love the food, love your Travato. And love your faith in Jesus and your fireside chats. Thank you so much for your caring feelings and encouragement. 😊❤🙏

    Looks like a beautiful place to stay. Winston is developing quite the personality. It's nice to see how much joy he's brought back into your lives. My favorite pie is coconut. But it's hard to beat cheesecake. Safe travels.

  • @cathyhennessee583
    @cathyhennessee583 Před 4 měsíci +1

    In your fireside chat tonight, I can relate to the joy that you have felt with Winston coming into your lives. Two years ago we lost our Rosco who was a 14 year old springer spaniel. He was a major part of my life because he was by my side when I went thru cancer treatments 3 years before that. Since he was a rescue dog, my son found him and his brother along a creek abandoned by their mother. We knew Rosco would want us to rescue another furbaby. We did, Cason, an Australian cattle dog was 6 months old. He has brought a lot of joy to us and he is a mommy's boy and deeply loved member of our family. It shows that Winston is a loved by the both of you.

  • @meltcmelinda4012
    @meltcmelinda4012 Před 4 měsíci +1

    Loved the three of you spending time together and the conversations around life , goodness, joy and love. Like you stated Karen out of deep sadness comes deep love. Be safe on your travels and know that you, Karen, Mike and Winston are always in my prayers for an abundance of love and Spiritual gifts that God bestows upon us to share with others. Always, hugs and a kiss for Winston.

    My favorite verses is Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who Strengthens me”. I have a bracelet that says it as well. I have many verses that I love. But this one for me just covers so many things. Whatever your going through with Gods strength you can make it through. Gods always today and forever in control. I love your fire pit chats. Have a blessed week.🤗

  • @Tricia1969
    @Tricia1969 Před 28 dny

    I like butterscotch pie but my husband loves it. I like my apple pie because it has more spices than others I've eaten and has a flaky crust. I prefer pies to cake. Winston has grown a little since I first saw him on his first video.

  • @robertrich9336
    @robertrich9336 Před 4 měsíci

    Enjoyed watching y’all back in Upstate SC! 🥰 The area is beautiful and your near Caesars Head, Bald Rock, Wildcat Falls, and Pretty Place, which leads you back to Brevard! TR is a cool town, and The Swamp Rabbit Trail goes through it, and back to Greenville, Simpsonville, and Fountain Inn, where I live. Your also near Furman University which is beautiful! Hope to meet you all in the area around hear/ Upstate SC. One of my favorite campgrounds, “beautiful too,” is Twin Lakes Campground on Lake Hartwell, near Tigerville/Clemson. It stays packed during the warm seasons, and you have to book ahead of time. Highway 11 is beautiful too, and runs alongside Table Rock State Park which is scenic, and has its own campground…

    I miss her so much😢
    Winston is the cutest little thing and he’s one lucky Pug to get you two as his parents👍🏼😊
    Thanks for showing us around the campground. It looks like one we’d love, too!
    Have a blessed week🙏

  • @janemuir3546
    @janemuir3546 Před 4 měsíci

    Fall Creek Falls, in TN is probably one of our favorites. If you go up to WV, Audra State Park is where our family camped when I was growing up.
    In SC, Calhoun Falls and Lake Hartwell are both ones we like. Unfortunately we aren't a fan of the newer teared pricing in SC, so we typically leave the state to camp.
    We do mostly harvest host camping at this time.

  • @saras4181
    @saras4181 Před 4 měsíci

    Thanks for showing the Campground! It looks(from the highway) like it's not big enough for a large rig, but it is! We love that area! Winston is adorable, there's nothing cuter than a sweet doggie! Pups are for spoiling! Our doodle loves to travel! Be safe out there!

    Love Greenville/TR area. Rode electric bike on the Swamp Rabbit Trail. Y’all should try that. Really nice trail. On our last trip to Greenville in July we stayed at Paris Mountain State Park campground. We visited the Pretty Place. Have y’all been there? It’s called the Pretty Place for a reason. My favorite campground is Price Lake in Blowing Rock because of sentimental reasons - I went to ASU in Boone so the area brings up good memories. Of course Blowing Rock is a beautiful town. I saw your video on BR. Take care yall! ❤
