Everyone needs a little R&R. It’s good for the mind and body. My husband, Joe, and our two girls (that would be our dogs) Sasha and Tillie take one week each year and drive to the Outer Banks in North Carolina. We rent a house along the beach and basically don’t do much of anything. We wake up every morning to views like this.
Really. What’s not to like about these views?
In order to get to the house that we rent you must have a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Getting to the house requires driving up the beach. And some times as you drive along the beach you see the wild horses.
Each day we take long walks on the beach. My oldest, Sasha, and I have a lot in common. We just like to get our feet wet.
And then there is Tillie.
She enjoys laying in the water so the waves wash over her.
I read several good books this past week and will talk about those in another blog.
Just in case you are wondering…..I did take my sewing machine along and got just a little machine quilting done on a new quilt.
My next teaching adventure will take me to Canada. I’ll be teaching at a shop outside of Calgary in a town called Okotoks. The name of the shop is Rumpled Quilt Skins. I’ve been corresponding with the shop owner for many months getting things organized. I have worked with a lot of shop owners over the years but never have I worked with one this well organized. I just know it’s going to be a great trip with all that Linda has done to prepare for the classes and my arrival. I’ll fill you in when I return.
