We had a great evening here the other night.This cabin belongs to my husband's brother...
They have been working on it for about the last
five years. It is a long way from any main road,
so it's been quite the task to get materials hauled
up that far to build it. It is really huge...
(14 bedrooms and a bathroom for every 2 bedrooms!)
(14 bedrooms and a bathroom for every 2 bedrooms!)
They have their own lake with paddle boatsand the lake is filled with fish too and some
pesky beavers.
Some years our church has held their annual girls camp up here.
The views out of the tall windows is really pretty.
The wood beams inside are gigantic!
Ron's brother Newell and his wife Gloria...such a sweet couple!
It was just starting to get dark as we got there.
It's so hard to get a good picture sometimes...especially when you are feeling SILLY :D
The guys out chatting it up around the fire...
Yes, one more bond fire before cold weather hits us.
The guys were cooking us ladies some steaks...YUM!
We had around 12 couples there and we all brought food to share.... I brought brownies.
~O' BABY ROCKS~
Preheat oven to 350'
Put 1 stick of butter in a 9x13 pan
put it in the oven while it preheats,
to melt the butter...spread it over pan.
Sprinkle a box of Brownie mix (just as it is)
over the melted butter.
Next, sprinkle over the brownie mix:
1 cup shredded coconut
1 cup butterscotch chips
1 cup semi-sweet chips
1 cup chopped pecans
Drizzle 1 can of Eagle brand
(sweetened condensed mild)
over all of this.
Bake 30 minutes or until
edges are bubbly.
Cool before cutting...
makes 24..2 inch bars
These are SO DANG GOOD...
and the aroma of them is to die for!
Our church's General Conference is going on this weekend.
It has been so awesome...I have loved every word spoken
and every beautiful song sung by the Tabernacle Choir.
Have a great Sabbath day eveyone...love you all :D

What a great cabin and country to take it easy in. Hope you enjoy your weekend and who doesn't like conference? Well maybe when I was a small girl I wasn't so interested in what all those old men had to say!
What a fabulous spot. I'm so glad you are loving conference. I am too! Thanks for a new twist on yummy brownies.
Julie, I am loving conference too! I am feasting on every minute of it, the music, the talks, the special spirit. Wow, that's some cabin! I cannot imagine! Double WOW the brownies! I can just taste them now! Scrummy yummy! xxoo

Wow what a spectacular cabin. I would tend to call that a mansion, not a cabin. Cabins here in Australia are little one or two bedroom buildings. It looks as though you had a wonderful weekend of good food, beautiful surroundings & lovely company. Thanks for Sharing.
Love that cabin. Y'all are so blessed. Loving Conference!!
what an amazing cabin! I am pretty sure that with the great cabin, bonfire and grilled steaks~ that my husband would leave me for Ron's brother. Lol
happy sunday to you!
That is truly an amazing cabin, Julie, you got to spend a most lovely evening. I love spending my holidays this way!
Do have a sweet Sunday and a good start to the new week. xxx
Wow, what a beautiful cabin! It's massive.... 14 bedrooms... wow!!! Beautiful view. Love the big windows... It's so beautiful!
Hope you're having a wonderful weekend xx
Julie, that cabin is a DREAM for me- what a beautiful place and large enough to host all the family and friends- heaven!

That log cabin is gorgeous and what a view.
It's not even 8a.m. yet but I want one of those brownies now. Brownies for breakfast isn't a bad thing is it? :)
I giggled at the term "cabin" because it's so spacious. What a wonderful place to enjoy!
That's a good recipe. I think I'll try making that for my small group Bible study that meets at my house.
What a beautiful cabin! I want a paddle boat for our pond. Happy Weekend!
That is a beautiful cabin!!! Looks like an ideal place to just relax. Once again another yummy recipe. When I get time one day I am going to have to go back thru all your post and make sure I have copied down the ones I want to try.
What a gorgeous place, it looks amazing, and what a size - 14 bedrooms, wow! Loved catching up with your other posts and pics Julie. Have a wonderful Sunday.

Lovely! Looks like just the place for me! I have always dreamed of living in a log cabin far out in the countryside.
Your brownies look delicious and the steaks have my mouth watering!
There's nothing like a gathering of friends with good food and conversation to warm your heart. :0)
What a gorgeous place! I'm sure there are some incredible views. So glad you were able to go there, have a bonfire, steaks, etc. The brownies look delish ~ as does everything you make! :-)
The Tabernacle Choir is just amazingly beautiful to listen to! My mother enjoyed it so much when I took her to visit.
Have a blessed day ~

Well now that is just about the prettiest sight I've ever seen. I think I could be happy living in that place.
Of course those steaks would have to come with it and don't forgetthe dessert. Oh heck, I'll take it all.

So sweet of your Bro. and Sis. in law to let the girls use their cabin for girls camp! I remember as a girl, we had a wonderful family in our ward that let us use their cabin up at Sundance for a daddy-daughter camp out ! We had a blast!! All those girls giggling and chatting all night. The Dad's all slept on the floor in the great room and tried to get some sleep :)
Conference was wonderful! I feel spiritually fed and I loved the talk by Pres. Monson on gratitude !
How blessed we are !!
Have a happy day :)
Its beautiful !
What a wonderful place to go, are you ever lucky!
Diane
What a beautiful cabin. It looks like you had a great time.
Thanks for taking us along.
Hugs
Oh my goodness, that place is gorgeous!
Some kind of cabin! Wow! Can't wait to try that brownie recipe. Anything chocolate has to be good.
What a gorgeous place! Sounds like a really fun time. Thanks for the recipe, too. I'm going to make that this weekend. We're having guests and these will be a big hit, I'm sure.
Absolutely gorgeous home and breathtaking views! How lovely you all got to share time together and enjoy yourselves. It's these moments that mean so much in life.
Have a wonderful day!
Blessings,
Jill
Wow! What an amazing place for a get away ... and super sweet of your brother in law to share it with the young women! I'm sure they LOVE it too! ;)
That sounds like the perfect conference weekend to me - sharing time friends and feasting both physically and spiritually, ahhhh ...
Goodness that is a huge cabin, so much to have so many people be able to stay all at once!! It has started to rain here today, and I am loving it, we need some cool weather with all the heat we have been having! hope you have a great week! xo

What a beautiful retreat! A place big enough to gather everyone together. Those steaks look yummy and the bars - delish! I will have to give them a try.
Such a lovely place and sweet family! Brownies are so very tempting!
A beautiful place! 14 bedrooms and 7 baths! Plenty of room for lots of family and friends!
Your brownies look delicious!
Your husband must do what mine does during pictures, have to have something to say so we always get him in mid word!
What an awesome cabin/home!! The colors on the trees are so pretty, thanks for sharing the pictures. The leaves really haven't started changing here yet...maybe soon.
Also, thanks for what looks like a yummy recipe.

Wow I am in awe! That house/cabin is enormous and SOOOO beautiful! I love all the decking around the whole thing.
That is so neat that they share their home with the Young Women for girls camp - I am sure they probably bless many peoples lives with their home.
Just neat!
Conference was wonderful - It is truly 2 of my most favorite weekends of the year.
Those brownies made me gain 5 pounds just from looking at the picture but they look soooooo goood!
Thanks for sharing the recipe :-D
O Baby I've got to try that recipe. Those look like the perfect Conference snack! ;o) Usually we end up popping peanut M&M's for 48 hours straight. These would be a nice change of pace. I loved conference too. Such inspirational talks. What a gorgeous home and beautiful setting to get together as family!
A very beautiful place and house, dear Julie.
I don´t really know what Sabbath is but it seems it´s a special day for you, well then have a very happy Sabbath!!!
hugs

that cabin is AMAZING and I'm definitely going to be trying out those brownies!!
Looks like you had a wonderful time! This cabin is very beautiful! How blessed all of you are to be able to share in the use of it. How generous that they use if for the good of all!!!
Those brownies sound and look VERY yummy! We will have to try them! We love chocolate and butterscotch chips too! :)
That's a cabin? I thought it was a hotel! How lovely. Those brownies...oh my goodness!! Must try them!They remind me of magic cookie bars on top of brownies...wowzers!!! Looks like a wonderful time!
