A weekend away. A lake, a comfortable house and friends. It doesn't get much better than that. We went up to the lake to scrapbook. Ha. We ate, shopped, drove around, slept and scrapped a little bit. At least I did. Just a little bit. Nature has always had the ability to soothe my soul; looking out at the water, watching the funny little birds eating the pinecone seeds, leaning against big old Gus the larch tree, listening to the wind in the trees, watching the tamaracks turn color with the turn of the seasons, and touring the devastation of the 2007 fires and seeing the rebirth of the forest right before my eyes.
I came home, rested and refreshed. The calm feelings followed me and they stayed around for a bit. In fact, I didn't even freak out when I found my paypal account had been hacked. 5 transactions for several hundred dollars each. Normally I would have had a stroke. Well, no stroke. Just did what needed doing and now everything is in the pending/investigation stage.
So, all in all a great weekend spent in the company of some great women who lift me up and push me forward....push, shove, whatever it takes.

I will not covet. I will not covet. I will not covet. I will be a good friend and be happy you have such a wonderful place to which you can escape. And that's the truth. I AM happy you have this place (and your cabin). Thanks for sharing it with us.
I am repeating kims montra.
So glad you did this Jennie. It is a great looking calm place
