(shocking, huh?). that somehow feels so natural when i'm in a different place. not so much buying stuff, but just keeping bits and pieces of what i find around me. now that i'm back i'm trying to figure out where to put everything. much rearranging will be required. because my mother was divesting herself of most of her old photos and momentos, i came back with a whole extra box of treasure.lynne hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00682812765012431260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065566596642714859.post-88999751345077882572008-10-28T04:08:00.000-07:002008-10-28T04:08:00.000-07:00Welcome home... it is so nice to have you back.Soo...Welcome home... it is so nice to have you back.<BR/><BR/>Sooo enjoyed this post and seeing your journalling, those fabulous treasures from the river, kayaking with your family and that wonderful house in the woods.<BR/><BR/>I like how some pages have words and others the sketches/painting just say it all. Your colours and images are beautiful. (enjoyed the picture of your work table...I mean who needs to eat at the table?) I found my last trip I didnt journal much either. I am a bit of a collector I think!<BR/><BR/>The heart shaped rock your sister gave you from the amazing James River is very special.
