Letters Across the Miles ...

Dear Jennifer,
Your post could not have come at a better time - We are headed to Maine shortly - We do enjoy our "Kick Off To Summer" get-away - I am doing research to find yet "another" hidden jewel amongst the many treasures there. More to come!

Thank you for your kind words regarding my office view. I believe we both have a great appreciation for "Views" - Anywhere, Really. If it is at the ocean, woods or in the city. I feel I found my way into the city for a reason, only time will tell. I believe my answer will be present in the upcoming months.

I have to admit, I have "Bike Envy" when you mention your rides - I hope to get a bike soon so I will be able to explore a bit more, as you do. Walking is fine, but I need something new. I feel I could take it for errands, down to the pond to visit the ducks, to the center to take in a chapter of a great book etc ... So many possibilities ... For those few free moments we are given ...

I love your attention to self care - Reading inspiring words to get your day started, How Comforting! I love this idea ... You asked how I nourish my soul? I love relaxing my Hubby, Visiting my family & friends, Photographing anything I love, Writing poetry, Reading other people's blogs (like yours), Reading a few chapters in a good book, Walking outside to see how my flower garden is coming along, Watching a good movie, Thumbing through a creative book to give me some inspiration etc ... So many ways to fill my soul ...

I found this quote above online and wanted to add it to this letter - Knowing you could appreciate it - Enjoy!

Sending a friendly hug your way,
Kristine ox

Love Story in Burlington, VT ...

It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated...

Nashville Travels ...

As I left Logan Airport in Boston, I felt that I was opening a new window in my life. One of freedom. One of self-independence. I found my seat and settled in. The flight flew by and I was in Nashville before I knew it. I gathered my bags and headed to the outside passenger pickup curb. I was greeted with open arms by a friend that could easily be a Sister of mine. Before too long, I began seeing Nashville and Memphis signs on the highway. This was truly happening. A jaunt that was planned so quickly, felt more surreal by the moment. A quick re-cap of the tourist sites we took in were visiting the Grand Ole Opry Backstage Tour, Antique Archeology (American Pickers Gift Shop), Broadway (Street of Lights) and shopping in Downtown Franklin. The regular daily sites were just as fun - Meeting new friends, trying new food (and cream soda - Yum!), listening to live music, attended a going away party, shared in a friends brunch, and being serenaded by incredibly talented fiddlers, g...
