This Fall, as I was traveling the Blue Ridge Parkway, I encountered this picturesque old mill.  It was built in 1903 and I enjoyed thinking about how the settlers over 100 years ago had to work so hard just to get simple pleasures like hot cornbread with their meals.  With the Holidays approaching, the long days of working at Mabry’s Mill have come to an end and the business of celebration has arrived. May you, too, find rest from your work, time to rejoice, and abundance of love for those gathered around you this holiday season.
