Where is this year going? I feel like I’ve been saying the same thing for the past 3 years. I can’t believe it’s August already. I love August though. I can always sense a change in the air, summer is still present but I can feel autumn creeping in, and I adore it. We celebrated the meltdown of summer by heading to Darrington, WA last weekend, camping, and rocking out to music at Summer Meltdown Festival. Nothing beats a small festival. I’m officially hooked again. A good group of our friends were there, there were good vibes all around, good music & river floating. And of course, I saw Slow Magic again, and was right smack in the middle of his drum circle when he got off the stage. I touched him, I was that close. So my happy self danced back to the tent and collapsed. It was a wonderfully adventurous weekend & we made new friends who live in the Seattle area. I can’t wait for next year! Have a fabulous weekend, xoxo, Steph…

It’s funny how you can grow up in a place and still find new places. I went to Spokane to see family and relax. That led to an impromptu visit to a family friend’s lake cabin on Pend Oreille Lake. We took a boat ride on the lake, and it completed summer for me. I established a life goal then as well: boat & lake cabin. The next weekend after that trip we visited Orondo, and it was mid cherry harvest. Finally got see the boyfriend’s family operation. You don’t really realize (or I didn’t anyway) how many pounds upon pounds, probably tons, of cherries come out of an orchard until you see a bin. Just one. I’ve never seen so many cherries! I’ve been back and forth across the state a number of times just this summer. Another trip is coming up & another trip to Portland is coming too!…
