I’m not complaining but I don’t think I realized how much energy we put into Fiber College until yesterday (check out the slide show from this year at www.FiberCollege.org )…It was worth every ounce of effort but maybe I’m just getting older.  I thought it would take a couple of days to unwind and pretend…

I’m back…the world of preparing for Fiber College, working through Fiber College and then resting from Fiber College absorbed me like juice into a Brawny paper towel.  The College is so exciting and the artists are so great that everything else seems to melt away…I truly didn’t have enough hours in the day to keep…

Fred Giuffrida and his family from Hudson, NH were here from July 29th- August 5th. Fred had promised to keep a smile on my face long before he arrived and I can say without reservation that they were a wonderful family to host and I hope that we’ll see them many times before I grow…

Because of the great e-mails I’ve received in response to Pat’s first posting, I’ve asked her to continue with life as she see’s it.  Right now she’s back in Henrietta NY with Don and her family but this letter just came in the mail.  I’ve divided her posting into more installments so be on the…

Pat Saunders is one of our favorite guests who travels from Henrietta NY to spend time in our little rural world. She’s a delightful letter writer and many times I’ve entreated her to write about her day trips and little discoveries because I’m absolutely certain that you’d love her attention to detail. She’s agreed to…

We specialize in relaxation…just look at Susan! The weather has been absolutely perfect for a vacation on the ocean…I always feel as if our guests have won some sort of cosmic lottery when we have a string of sunny days and cool evenings. In my world, if it rains a gentle patter in the night…

I’m totally over my little self-pity party…just a blip in heaven…thank you to all wrote and made me laugh! I just needed a good rub on the shoulder, a little bit of time picking blueberries and a wake up call…I got all three and I’m grateful…Thanks for rattling my cage! Just as a point of…
