River Wonderland

I've already posted some of these pictures in other places...

but wanted to share them on my BLOg...

This BLOg

is my very favorite of all communication venues..

It gives me a space to release the Joy that is in my Heart..

And a place to share with all my friends

how incredibly fast "Little Brady" is growing up.

Here is my little man on his big boy bed at the river.

Brad and I have spent the past 3 weeks working off and on

(Mostly ON) out there getting it ready

so we can spend the rest of our summer on the water.

We have sweated buckets, seen several copper heads, killed a couple,

Brad's been bitten by a brown recluse, and we had to dig

an entire new water line and septic system....

But... Now that it is all done... it fills us both

with such an awesome sense of WOW

knowing we did it ourselves.

Here is the tiniest bathroom in the world..

But.. it's got everything you NEED so the rest is just gravy..

This is our one and only bedroom..
The wall had to be torn down because a pipe busted inside the wall.
So Brad put me a new wall in and turned the panelling the opposite direction.
I just painted that little fellow, and called it a "headboard"

Here is our living room in the trailer..
I traded a friend for this couch years ago...
and it's still the all time
MOST COMFY COUCH in the entire world..
It's gone through many slip covers, and pillows..
but the ole' girl is still the best sitting place around.

We look straight out any of our windows and this is our VIEW...
Less than 30 yards away is the most amazing place to be.

We were all afraid that Brady would be scared of the water.
Little did we know that the child had "No Fear" what so ever.
Every morning he would wake up and say "River Please."
Now who could resist that..
So..... needless to say we spent a great deal of our 4 days in the water.

As the days went on...
He got more and more brave.
He was falling down in the current and standing right back up like a trooper.
He'd laugh and say "Drink"... haha
We tried many times to tell him that this was not where you drink
but he said it every time he fell in.

Watching water is the most peaceful, relaxing thing I know of..

I sat on our deck every morning and every night

watching the current flow down river..

Something about the sound of the trees rustling,

the unbelievably clean air

filled with the sound of moving water

gives my soul a place to rest..

To me it feels like it's HOME..

space

To my precious son...

who will one day live on this river...

I hope your heart too is filled with the peace

that only Love and Nature can bring.

space

May we all have a place that our spirit calls HOME!
