Vacation!

I will be taking a short vacation for the next 2 weeks. We will be taking our yearly trip to the cottage by the water where the picture at the top of the page is the view from the porch if walk out into it and turn left. Hoping to renew my spirit, relax my body and set some goals for the coming year. As we move into the fall, (and a new school year for my husband) I feel like it's more of a renewal time than, say, new years. I know, fall seems like a weird time for renewal but I always feel like the fall is the start of something and that summer, the logical end for my personal year. So farewell for a few weeks and I'll be back with some postcards from vacation and my thrifty notions along the way!
