Sisters

In June, all the members of my immediate family went on vacation on Orcas Island in the San Juans, but unfortunately J and I were not able to join them, so I was very excited that the Oregon family rented a house in Sisters, OR while I was there for a little time away. It was great to share meals,

Outdoor activities,

a fun trip to the High Desert Museum

 

And a lovely hike.

August

So it turns out that when one is dealing with difficult issues, time with friends and family is just what the doctor ordered, so thank you friends and thank you family for your support and love the last 3 weeks.
We just got back from our mega-lovely time. We enjoyed some exploring, some reminiscing, and some relaxing.
One of the highlights was more time spent with my gorgeous nephew.

And during the time, Jordan almost single-handedly completed a quilt (with some instruction and support from my mom and dad sister (what a funny typo!).

We are both home renewed and refreshed.
