OUR JOURNEY
“This is our journey, this is you, this is me, this is we, this is us, this is life, this is ecstasy and woe, this is our energetic dance through layers of matter and space, this is our return to love.”
~ Rachel Elizabeth Schaf

Slow and Steady Wins the Race
Clearly my angels kept me safe on the ladder!
Dave and I were headed to Kentucky to attend his nephew's wedding last weekend; we used some vacation time to stop in Tennessee and get a little more work done at Poor Valley Creek Vineyard. Board & batten siding and soffit and fascia...as much as we could get done in 3 days!

Ghostly Reflections
Have you ever seen or met a ghost when you’re fast asleep, that is, in a dream? A “visitation dream”; clear, vivid, intense, experienced as a real visit when you awaken from it, feeling changed by the experience.

Fire Flies
I was so happy to see firefly’s in Tennessee!

Anniversary to Remember
Within their first five days on the job, our floor plans began taking shape and I was excitedly AMAZED by their progress despite all the structural damage they uncovered and had to address within the existing house.

“Wings for Success”
reflecting on the sort of love that gives human beings wings to rise above it all

A Strong Foundation
As the sun dipped behind the mountains, we opened a bottle of wine, filled our red solo cups, and toasted to the start of our working weekend. Before calling it a night, we sat on our old porch swing and watched the moonrise (it was almost full) while listening to a soothing katydid chorus and rhythmic calls from a lonesome whippoorwill.

Love Drunk
Of course, our wedding gift for the lovely young couple’s exclusive and intimate event was WINE, two varieties made with lots of love!

Jack of all Trades
The hubby never rests, he is a SUPERHUMAN! Between his full-time job and continuous projects on the home front, six out of seven days a week he only gets three hours of sleep per night. Thankfully, he is a “closet” carpenter, a “jack of all trades” really, and he can build ANYTHING he sets his mind to…So now we have a wine rack!

2022 Cabernet Sauvignon has Been Bottled!
Did you know? In the 1630’s, stoppers were made of oil cloth, pieces of wood, and glass?

Lil’ Signs & Synchronicities
I’ve come to recognize and acknowledge curious little synchronicities as signs rather than dismissing them as “just a coincidence”. In my mind, there are no coincidences!

Humble Beginnings
Baby it’s cold outside! Dave is staying in his trailer whilst working on demo/gutting of the existing house!
