I’m not taking a break from writing or the blog - ironically this has kept me focused and more balanced throughout the summer as chaos reigned. Instead of feeling pressured to produce a written piece weekly, I found that I had all sorts of ideas and for most of the summer I had 4 or 5 blog posts in the queue waiting to be published. Now that things are slowing down with final paint touch ups done and cabinetry adjustments being the outstanding things to be done - it feels like the right time for us to take a break and reconnect with some friends and family. Oh and there is the thing about trying to get in one final camping trip to break in the new trailer before the white stuff flies (which could be any day now this close to the mountains).

I should probably back up a bit and explain that little “break in the new trailer” line because there’s a bit of a story there.
