Time OUT

I just got home from a wonderful, albeit brief trip with my husband to Branson.
I didn't want to stay in just any place, so I hunted around until I found a lodge called White Lake Lodge. It is owned by a very nice couple. He has a fishing business where he takes people on trout fishing trips and she is a lovely retired 1st grade school teacher. The place is tucked back into the woods a bit, about 20 minutes outside Branson.
Our room was cozy and comfortable and romantic I think. We had a great view off the deck in the back overlooking Tablerock Lake.
Thursday morning I woke up to sun shining through the window and got up to grab my camera. I was sure it was going to be spactular. We looked through the widow and were suprised to find it was still mostly overcast and gray and foggy, but there was one little spot where the sun was shinning through the clouds and right through only our window.. at least that how it seemed to me. Here are a few shots I took. It really was beautiful. It was still and quiet and all you could hear were the birds and small critters rustling about.
I didn't get too many more pictures of our trip, but these were the ones that will remind me of my short but sweet little trip. I would like to go back again soon.. it was peace to my soul. I think we all need to take time out trips like that. We didn't go very far, it wasn't super fancy, but it was just enough to recharge, reconnect and miss my kids. I think we will plan another short trip like this in 6 months.

OH.. and least I should forget, on the way home we also stopped at Lamberts.. home of the THROWED ROLLS.. this is the place where they serve the most delicious rolls.. but only by air.. you have to catch them. While you are eating or waiting for your food, they come along with big bowls of fried potatoes or okra or some other ridiculously yummy naughty thing. Then you get your plate of food which was huge and perfect comfort food. My husband ordered their sweet potatoes that were heavenly. I am on a mission to find the recipe. The sweet waitress said they use cinnamon oil in them.. I am telling you, those potatoes WERE desert. So delicious.
I found a blog with a recipe for rolls that are as yummy as Lamberts.. Here is the link incase you would like to try them. And if anyone out there knows how to make those sweet potatoes.. I am BEGGING you.. please teach me!!
