Going home!

We went on vacation to Washington state last week.  It was nice because there were no have to do's.  I did not even pull out the computer.  It was a good week, even though there were some interesting twists.

 We drove a lot between here and

and here.  And why do you ask?  Because this is the area we would like to live in someday.

We put an offer on this piece of land.  It is on top of a ridge at the north end of Black Mountain and in sight of Canada.  I am trying to not hope to hard because it is so lovely.

The rest of the time was very quiet.  We drank tea, talked, walked, drove, and just spent time together.  We also enjoyed autumn which we do not have where we live.  I got to wear sweaters and shawls everyday!  That made me smile.  We had to run the heater and have blankets on the bed.  Simple pleasures are the best!

I spent a little time crocheting. 

And this is where I crocheted.  It is one of my favorite spots for that activity but I do not get to do it here often.

Now, I am trying to get back to my normal routine.  It is hard.
