Thank you- you have a real way with words when it comes to my heart, son!
And happy anniversary month- I think of you two whenever the rhododendrons and lily of the valley bloom.

You are a such a magic-worker. Sometimes the magic takes over and it becomes nearly impossible to stop. Thanks for all of your magic, but thanks for the greater magic of just being you and my mom.

I love you!

Joanna- I would love to have a cup of tea and while away some time with our feet up with you!
I have often envisioned a bloggers get-away- where we could meet- face to face – those people who have taken up a place of friendship within the circles of our hearts through the internet! Whether in Bristol, or in the magic Isle of Chincoteague it would be such a pleasure.
Brian is a treasure- I’ve often thought that his pastry making and photography skills are extraordinary- but he is neat AND laid back in style? Bonus points!!!
Frank has a determined way of saying- “What did you get done today?”
Not so very condusive to relaxation.

Care to join me in the kitchen and we could have a cup of tea and put our feet up on the chairs for a bit? We can always start again in an hour or even the next day? Brian has a lovely way of saying, “it can wait till tomorrow” and “If it doesn’t get done, it doesn’t get done”. Having said that I came home to a tidy house and a clean kitchen last night.

Heidi, I love your lavender close up and all your pics and your way with words. That island home is a magical place and it is so fine to know that there is magic somewhere in the world to travel to

Thank you, Celia-
You are right there is always more to do- but sometimes it is time to stop.
It is a 10 hour drive to get to Chincoteague Island from here and so we concentrate on what we have to do. We love the island- it is a place outside of these times- a small town where everyone knows each other but yet opens up during the season to thousands of visitors.
I’m still not a good photographer but I’m trying to figure out what I’m doing. :/

There is always more to do, isn’t there? But on the other hand, whatever we do, however little or small, is also always enough. Magnificent photos, Heidi, and Meredith is very lucky to have you both taking such good care of her house for her!

Definitely the next time I go! I will only do some weeding and work on getting the outside beds in order!
Come on down and see it!

Hi Heidi, Everything looks great! You and Frank always do a beautiful job. All of the pictures make me want to go see it all for myself. Thanks to the both of you for all of your hard work to make Meredith’s place just a little more special each time you go there.

It looks so bright and beautiful, inside and out. Very inviting. A place for YOU to relax once in awhile when you are there.
