I sent the hair samples via FedEx On Tuesday and they arrived at the lab in New York this morning. Hopefully they are able to get Cowgirl’s DNA from it so that we can move onto the next phase of Epona’s registration.
Life here in the Northwest is currently blazing hot and smoky. We are hovering around 100 most days, but an end is in sight this Sunday, and I have trail rides planned for Tuesday and Thursday.
My husband and I are going to take advantage of the weekend to do a solo camping trip on Lake Roosevelt. I’m more of a B&B woman nowadays than a camper, but I’m kind of looking forward to spending more time under my favorite spot in the world, Whitestone Rock. (And there are no B&B’s that offer the same experience there.) Honestly, I need some quiet time to rejuvenate.
This will be our goodbye to it until, hopefully, we see it again next spring/summer.
Since the theme of today’s post is dreaming of cooler days and free time, we have also been planning our anniversary trip for October and have rooms booked for the San Juan Islands. The first stay will be on Friday Harbor. (Above)
The second stay will be on Orcas Island (below). The Inn we will stay at there reminds me of the old Wayside Inn near Boston, where we stayed in 2019.
I can’t remember what ‘us time’, ‘me time’, feels like, but I have a vague memory of it being wonderful.
The "me time" will give you lots of new memories! Enjoy and have a great relaxing time! Hope you get to see an Orca pod. My sister lives north of there at Sechelt BC and sometimes sends me photos of whale watching and other sea adventures- they have a sea worthy yacht.
ReplyDeleteYour sister must have many adventures to share. I get too seasick to go out on the water. I might even take Dramamine for the ferry ride, just in case. It would be wonderful to see orcas though!
DeleteEnjoy the time together. Even though we’re retired , I find our time away really good.
ReplyDeleteWe always hate leaving home, but it will be good to share an adventure alone together.
