Yes, we are in Lake Arrowhead sitting in Partaker Cottage. The heat is on ( a toasty 58 and it has been on for about 4 hours), there is a fire in the fireplace, music from the forties is playing, and I am about to start a slow roasted pot roast! Won’t that smell good?

As I check the weather for Fort Lauderdale, it is now 79 degrees, and it is after 5 pm there.  As you may imagine, we are dressed a little differently. I love it. I have on one of my hand knit sweaters (a cozy wool alpaca in green), jeans and wool socks with my clogs. This is a far cry from the shorts, tees and boat shows that have been the norm for weeks. Soon enough we shall be returning to Florida and the adventure shall continue.

I am looking forward to it. I am surprised by how busy we have been since being home. Coming to the cabin is perfect. It is small like the boat, I don’t lose Kelley like I can at home (Honey? Honey? Where are you?) I am thinking that small is good. And, we don’t have “things” that have to be done.

So, we will visit Partaker for a couple of days; head home; complete a few more chores; out to the desert. And then, before we know it, it will be time to fly East! We hope to see YOU ALL!
