don't be afraid

i took a mini-blog vacation over the weekend.  i had lots of projects to catch up on-- sewing up holes, hemming, sewing on buttons, reading, hanging with the hubby, writing pen pals.
i'll be back tomorrow with a few recipes that i tried out over the last week.  get ready for quick and easy and yummy food!

but for now, let's rest and take a breath.

this photo was taken at my favorite place on earth.

and i hope it gives some hope and encouragement to at least one of you out there.
