where the heart is......

By now I think you all know how much I love our cottage.

We were just there on what we called "a real vacation" as it's the first time

that we've been there for more than just a few days...

this time, 11 whole days !

But honestly, even when we can only spend a weekend there

it still feels like a vacation.

ANYHOW....

we were blessed to have the wonderful Bill and Kathy,

of the famous Valley Ridge Art Studio,

come visit us.

Now granted, we have had many visitors

and many compliments,

but what Kathy wrote after they had visited....

well, I just had to share it with all of you.

{and she said I could}

Hi Beth,
A great big thank you to you and John for having us. We are still talking about you two.... seriously...
We don't see many homes or cottages that we are "nuts" about, but your place literally has been a gift to visit. Everything is perfect, and I mean PERFECT with thoughtful attention to detail. I am incredibly sensitive to aesthetics and I loved what you and John have created. I told Bill, when we were driving in, that I could feel the energy of the land. You two have a magical and loved land... it is obvious, a harmonious relationship you and John have established.
Namaste,
Kathy and Bill

{seriously, how beautiful is that ??}
