in pursuit of happier times

i am coming to you from a distant location, nothing too out of the way, but beautiful. i spontaneously decided that a trip to way upstate new york was in order. i am in ithaca, actually trumansburg, ny and yes it is gorges- for all of you that have seen that slogan!

my friend and husband recently purchased their first house and i thought that i would race up to be their first official house guest. cute house, nice floors and a homey atmosphere that will only improve as they really start to unpack and live in this space.

i was honored to help in the installation of some bathroom fixtures and enjoy a delicious dinner, catch a quick movie (bad news bears- funny, but not a great movie) and will be hunkering down in the enclosed porch with the peaceful sound of crickets, the cool cayuga lake air, and my dog by my side.

another day of escape and a few more to come... i just love taking advantage of having a summer where i have learned the boundaries of overworking myself and can balance that with the joys in life of being with friends.
