One year ago, I blogged in this post about the lake house my husband and I were in the process of building at Lake O The Pines in northeast Texas. We completed it early this year! Our family has been enjoying it immensely. As have the guests who’ve booked it as a vacation rental. A few photos…





Didn’t it turn out great?
Since Monday, I’ve been on a “girls getaway” here at the lake with Courtney Walsh and Katie Ganshert. We’ve spent most of our time relaxing at the house–talking, doing a puzzle, writing a little, watching movies. We also visited a winery for lunch and walked around the historic town of Jefferson. It’s been glorious.

Happy Friday, everyone! I’m wishing you all a wonderful weekend. Love, Becky

Thank you, Karen! We love it. 🙂
Your lake house is beautiful, and time spent with wonderful friends is refreshing! I go on a girls getaway every year with my sisters-in-law, it’s always a great time. And I love the picture of three of my favorite authors!
“Refreshing” is a perfect word to describe a girls’ getaway! Such a treat.
It’s simply gorgeous! I know it is a blessing to your family and to others!
Yes, such a blessing!
That makes me SO happy to see you three together! And to dream about the wonderful books that will be created as a result of that retreat and your conversations! Just fabulous!
Aww, thanks Deb!!
Have so much fun!
