I had no idea when Elizabeth invited me to Charlottesville that her email would eventually lead to here. When I mentioned to her that I was thinking of going to Portland she offered me her family’s summer house on an island – thank you so much!
365-69

It’s a beautiful place, perfect for relaxing and even getting a little work done, on the beach of course.

if you bring some honey home with you be prepared to have to take it out of your bag – for some strange reason honey looks just like some kind of explosive to machines the airline use — ask me how I know :D

You were so close to Vancouver Island, it’s a shame you didn’t make it!

I love Peaks Island–we’ve had several vacations there—and I’ve done quite a bit of knitting there. I missed a few blogs and thought you were on the west coast until I saw the “Peaks Island Honey” sign. I’m glad you enjoyed one of my favorite spots.
