If you’ve noticed that I’ve been absent and you don’t follow me on Twitter…well…you suck.
Ok, really. We’ve been gone to visit Shane’s family in North Carolina. I had every intention of blogging once we got settled into our vacation rental, but there was no Internet (or tv or air conditioning, but I digress). So instead, I took an unexplained week off the ol’ blog and…nothing happened. It was kind of a nice reminder that even though I pour a lot of myself into this website, it’s not really something I have to do. However, the solitude and beautiful scenery were like a charger for my dying batteries and I’m back, feeling ready to start doing some serious writing.
The week was packed with visiting loved ones (including this amazing man), hiking, picnicking, driving the Blue Ridge Parkway, playing on Grandfather Mountain, partying at Bele Chere in Asheville, gem mining, and front porch sitting. While it was an amazing time, I’m so glad to be back in my air conditioned house. I missed my dog. I missed my bathtub. I missed my bed. I missed my blog.
I, however, loved getting to see things through the eyes of a 4 year old. She loved the mountains and is already planning our next visit. I am too, but my plans involve my camper hidden in the woods. No more house rentals for this girl…I need to get away from civilization.
