A special place

I have been meaning to write this post since I got back from Fall Creek Falls. I just love that place. When I look back over my blog I see how many times I have talked about it or posted pictures of it. I don't really know why this place is so special to me, it just is.

I think of this place all the time. I can close my eyes and see it like I was there. I feel what it is like to ride my bike from the campground and then head down toward the hill to the lake. This is the place I think of first. I see every part of the road and feel when it gets flat right before I go down the big hill. I can see so many parts, all the trails, the campground, the way to the inn, Piney Falls, the big falls, the cascades, cane creek, the George hole. I can see it in different seasons - fall, spring, and summer. I have never been there in the deep of winter. I love to be there one day when there is snow. I see people that I have spent time with there - the children, mom and dad, the Davenports, Clark and Shirley the most, even the regulars from different places, like Curtis and Gertude.

The interesting thing about this place is that it only brings me happiness. I don't think that I have ever had a bad day there, even the rain and storms are not that bad.

Thank you God for this beautiful place and for showing it to me.
