If you had told me six months ago when I booked this trip how badly I would need it, I wouldn’t have believed you. I wouldn’t have believed you even a month ago. But in whatever way the universe knows, it had me schedule it six months ago and when it came time to go, I was ready. I needed it. We both did.

Canoe Bay is a balm to my soul whenever we go, but this trip may have been my favorite. We kayaked (saw a beaver and innumerable sunning turtles), ate amazing food (the amount of time we spent talking about the creamed spinach is unbelievable but it was that good), and sat on our porch overlooking the lake and the moon and just…were.

Now we are home and settling back into the routine of parents and partners in the business of living, but with renewed energy and purpose in this life we are building.

I am so grateful for these times away.

      Thank you! We are so blessed to have the opportunities to take these adventures. We don’t get to visit this place as often as I’d like but whenever we do, I always feel better for it!

    It looks like a really nice spot! And it’s nice to see what your husband looks like. 🙂 I’m glad you got a chance to recharge and get away, and just when you needed it. It’s so nice when life works out that way. Hope the glow is still glowing.

      Thank you, Rita. My pictures don’t do it justice, but it was fantastic. And tomorrow kicks off a new weekend. I can’t believe how fast this week went!

The Struggle Is Real

Hi there, I'm Kate! I love yarn, photography, books, and a good cup of coffee. I blog like it's 2007. I write a lot about knitting, Netflix, and any other nonsense that strikes my fancy. Sometimes I get ranty. Welcome to my little corner of the internet!
