We visited our Indiana Pet Friendly Cabins the other weekend and had a great time with our little baby - Ruthie.  Here she is sitting by the fire place, warming up from a cold walk outside.
 

If you are like our family, the biggest problem with trying to get away for a weekend is what to do with the dog.  Well, at the Take It Easy Cabin, that's one thing you don't have to worry about!  Feel free to bring your dog, cat, hamster, gerbil... whatever type of animal you hold dear.  Your family is sure to enjoy spending a weekend away without having to stress about finding a pet sitter or wondering what how the kennel is treating your four-legged friend.

If you're interested in getting away this winter - book your Winter Cabin Rental soon, we're offering discounted rates for all January and February weekends.

This will be a special year at Epworth Forest.  I don't recall ever visiting the Lake Webster Fishing area during Thanksgiving week.  It should be great and, bonus, our friends the Fribley's will be at their Cabin Rental Indiana "Panorama" this week too.

We've had a very mild fall.  Great for Muskie Fishing Indiana.  Now it's time to prepare for our Winter Cabin Rental.  We're spending 2 weekends with family at the cabin in December and then, another first, we have guests staying at Take It Easy Cabin on Christmas Eve.  Happy Holidays everyone!
 

Celebrate families and togetherness this Thanksgiving Day at our Epworth Forest Winter Cabin rental with some time-honored traditions, which gives one a sense of family identity and meaningfulness that can last for generations. Here are some ideas from Susie Cortright for starting new family traditions - and for revering the old ones:

1. Sit down with your family and reminisce about your childhood celebrations. What do you remember most about Thanksgiving and the days that follow? Thanksgiving traditions can be much more than just food and recipes. In what ways did your childhood traditions symbolize particular values, such as abundance, generosity, the importance of family? What would you like to do that's the same? What would you do like to do differently?

2. Make a small booklet or a mini scrapbook album (which you can either make or purchase.) Write "Five Things I Love About My Family and Friends" and keep it out on the table during your Thanksgiving celebration. Each guest can come and record thoughts and insights. Other themes to try: "Five Things I'm Thankful For" or "Five Wishes for my Family and Friends." An even simpler approach would be to put one sheet of cardstock out for each year - and combine them together over the years in a Thanksgiving Gratitude Scrapbook.

3. Keep a Family Gratitude Journal through the year. Each night, a family member can share something that they are grateful for. Share the highlights of this family tradition at the dinner table on Thanksgiving Day.

4. Make a Gratitude Circle. Before the Thanksgiving meal, everyone stands and holds hands in a circle. Guests each take a turn sharing what they are grateful for. Or - if your guests are on the shy side - ask everyone to write down their blessings on a piece of paper, which you can read before or after dinner.

5. Designate a particular tablecloth for your family Thanksgiving celebrations. Provide fabric markers where guests can record their "gratitudes" or special prayers for the year ahead. Ask your guests to sign and date each message, as you'll be using the same tablecloth year after year.

7. Make a hostess gift for the person who is cooking this year. Purchase an apron or a t-shirt or a gift album with sentiments of thanks from each guest. Present the gift after dinner.

8. Show your gratitude to an unsung hero. Get together with your family and decide on a person or a group in your community who could use an extra pat on the back, ie. firefighters, soldiers, police officers, volunteers. Put together a special plate of goodies and deliver it (or pack it up for shipping) as a family.

9. Preserve your traditions. After the meal, record everyone's favorite activities. Appoint one person to be the scribe - or ask everyone to jot down a few thoughts. And don't forget to take lots of photos. It's fun to place disposable cameras throughout the house so everyone can capture bits of the action.


Our Vacation Home Indiana Log Cabin is the perfect place to create family moments and traditions over the holidays.
