And what's this? Well, finally the big reveal on that project I've been hinting about, in the works for several intense weeks now. I just didn't want to jinx it.
This is our new vacation home in Twisp on the Methow River. A river runs right past it, and hopefully never through it! Our lot, just under a half acre, has 100 feet of private riverbank. Yes, the river is close and magnificent, especially during the spring run off. It is simply mesmerizing.
Having a retreat from Seattle, where life becomes more and more intense, has been a long-standing dream of mine. John not so much, but when the perfect property came on the market, God bless him, he told me just go for it. Now or never. And so I did. Time will tell how this great expensive experiment works out. You never know until you try.
Best of all, we're just a few blocks from Amanda, Tom and the girls and we can walk to everything in town. So our saga of second home ownership is just getting started.
I woke up at dawn, sat by the window with my cup of coffee, and met some of the neighbors.
In case you need more proof, here's John assembling furniture from a box. Something he is very good at.
He is happier than he looks. In fact, we are both pretty excited. I keep thinking I'm about to wake up from a dream. More later on this new adventure when we get the Internet up and running at the house.
Congratulations, Sue and John! What a beautiful setting and how exciting to be close to Amanda's family. Have fun getting everything just the way you want in your new river-side retreat.
