La Piantata
Fall is a great time to go glamping, and we’re on board to give this upscale camping craze a try soon – how ’bout you? Maybe we’ll start someplace close, like The Martyn House in Ellijay, Ga. Then, as our adventurous spirits (and budgets) grow, we might visit La Piantata in the Italian countryside or head to Tierra Patagonia in Chile. See more glamorous locations at glamping.com or search at glampinghub.com.
The Martyn House
good libations
Next time you’re at the farmer’s market, grab some big blackberries and fresh pink grapefruit and head home to make this delicious concoction for happy hour at your house. It’s sooooo good!
Blackberry Grapefruit Margarita
What’s Needed:
8-10 large blackberries
2-3 pink grapefruit
2 limes
Agave nectar (or simple syrup)
Grand Marnier
Tequila
To Make:
Squeeze together grapefruit and limes. Add juice to blender with fresh blackberries, splash of Grand Marnier, tequila and agave nectar (all to your taste). Lend together then pour over ice. Toss in 1-2 whole blackberries, a slice of lime and drink up!

K, horse friends, this is for you: a beautiful book to buy for a friend, or maybe just for yourself. 😉
The Museum of the Horse
And if you’re planning a trip to Paris you can visit the actual museum in Chantilly.
(Adding to our bucket list now….)

Hi. This is what we were listening to last weekend. How ’bout you?
Town Mountain
(Be sure to hang in for the little jam session at the end.)
resting in peace
We’ve occasionally heard of an old burial site atop the big hill across the creek and searched for it a couple of times with no luck. But last weekend we spotted a new turnoff, up a steep wooded trail, and headed up there on horseback. At the top we came upon the old cemetery and stood there for a few minutes in hushed reverence. Some say this is the final resting place of Creek Indian Tribe members from around the 1700s-1800s, while others believe these to be the gravestones of early white settlers. There used to be 25 or more grave markers here, according to one source, but many have been lost over the years. Today, only about six headstones remain. We will visit this place again to pay our respects.
