Breaks

Sometimes a girl needs a few breaks! Recently I got the opportunity to take a break to head South for a few days out of the great state of Kentucky. Don't get me wrong I love my home on the Tennessee and Kentucky border, but sometimes a break from normal routines and life is a great thing to help rejuvenate oneself and get oneself kick started "back" in the right direction.

Breaks give this Savage Girl (& maybe you too)...

Breathing room. (It was a long ride South, so I had lots of time to think, so watch out Monroe County I have a few ideas!)

Rest and relaxation. I went to bed early and slept in every day!



Endless hours of doing whatever you want. Like reading, sleeping, shell hunting, long walks on the beach, bike riding, etc. And yes I did all of these while in Florida!  My biggest accomplishment was getting The Chance by Karen Kingsbury read for my next book club meeting.

My travel partner in crime...Mr. Electric Man! He loved his room at the beach. For those of you who are meeting him for the first time...Mr. Electric Man is my extension power cord control man for all my chargers that keep me connected 24/7. He goes wherever I go.  

Awesomely good food, fun, fellowship & family time.

My aunt and I spent Sunday morning searching for the church building only to finally locate it just in time for worship services ;) There is nothing like driving around the block only to be a few blocks off and when you ask for directions people either don't speak English or send you to the wrong church. This was one time my blackberry came in handy to locate the correct address.

After worship I got to meet the newest member of the Craighead family...baby Shaw...the son of my cousin Sara Shaw and her husband Brandon. I think he is a keeper! I didn't get enough of the little man, so I had to visit them on Tuesday night before I headed back North. If you are headed South and need somewhere to stay give Brandon a yell...his information is located on this website. He recently started a new business in Santa Rosa Beach, FL (very near Destin, FL). He might have the perfect place for you to stay on your next vacation. Tell him a Savage Girl sent ya!


I tried to get a picture of his cute little feet...but Baby Shaw had another plan and didn't think all the picture taking was very fun, but Mila did! Check her out below!
 
 

Kickback & let time stand still ...at least until it is time to go home and go back to reality.


Even Dakota, my aunt's dog, got into this!

Some sun, vitamin D & beautiful picture perfect sunsets. Enjoy them while they last!

I enjoyed my "breaks" over the past few days. I was welcomed back to Kentucky in style last night! It was 74 degrees, warm and sunny in Florida when I left at 8:30 a.m. but I was welcomed home to 47 degrees in Kentucky at 6:30 p.m. Needless to say somewhere between Florida and Kentucky I changed from shorts to pants and from short sleeves to long sleeves. But I would not have it any other way. I'm blessed and thankful for everything I've been given. Now why don't you take a little break and then when you return maybe together we can conquer the world!
