A Couple Portland Houses and I miss you already!

Dear Country Mouse,

I can't believe you really got to visit!! It has been such a thing of conversation and now it came and actually happened. Alas, you did go home, but still your visit is warm and near.

How has being back been? Was work as busy as before you left? I am glad we got to go over ideas for your classes, I think the nature crafts class will be super fun and the kids will be thrilled : )

I am adding a few pictures of houses here. I feel like you got to see so many, yet somehow everywhere I drive I see more I wish you could have experienced during your visit. It's no secret I want you to LOVE Portland. I dream that at some point you will come live here near me and we will have so much more time to play and and work together.

Miss you so much!!!

P.S. Pictures from your trip. I have more, but I have yet to put them on my computer. I'll add them when I write soon!

Rain and Artichokes...

Dear Country Mouse,

I absolutely LOVE the ornament! You should sell those, they would be appreciated by so many people and add a little fun and color to a Christmas tree. Seriously.

I am on a week off from the truck, which you would think would put me in the best mood possible, but instead I am finding myself trying to tie in loose ends, one of which is to apply for passports. Aghh, I am such a procrastinator when it comes to those kind of details. It always feels like a run around when dealing with the DMV or other agencies that process paperwork that has to be so incredibly precise.

As I mentioned last letter, it has been raining everyday. I like it, it adds such a calm to the world. I took the dogs out this morning because there was one of those really bright, high-cloud downpours. I thought we could walk and play in it, but of course it stopped the second I got outside. I did however come across this beast of an artichoke plant. I wish I had caught it in bloom earlier this year—I bet it was magnificent. It's quite a bit bigger then the pictures portray:






Anyway, love you and miss you!

Hello Lovely Lady

Dear Country Mouse,

I love the elephant, so sweet!

How have you been? I heard rain was pouring for a couple of days, I can't believe how wonderful that is! My parents measured an inch plus from Sunday night. (I think it was Sunday night.) 

It has been horribly hot here, just yuck yuck heat and more yuck! No one has been happy about it at all; sleeping is never fun when it's hot. But, swimming in the river does help…







I came across a blog today that had the most wonderful cottage interiors: Vicky's Home. I think when you need a little splash of house inspiration it might be fun to take a look : )

How is your book coming, have you been working on it, or too busy? I can't wait to see more characters!

Missing you so much!

Give the kids hugs for me…

               Love,
