Mountains! Lakes! Incredible that I’m jealous – a month ago I would have just thought they were pretty pictures.

Reentry isn’t so much fun.

As someone with an “sen” at the end of her maiden name, I vote Scandinavia too.

We’re so much alike – and I’m so, so glad we both pushed through it and met.

Wanders off to Flickr….

Right back at you friend. And I’ll forgive that you made me blush by reading this! Let’s do it again sometime! ;)

omg.
look at that landscape!
awesome.

and yes, it’s funny how the internet pairs up people who otherwise never would have anything in common. or who otherwise wouldn’t KNOW they actually HAVE anything in common…
isn’t it? :)

Mel, those photos are stunning! And I’m the same, I tell people about something my friend said, then try and think about I how know that friend, and it is online. Bizarre, but true but lovely!

I’m extra glad then, that I met you at a Fiber Festival and found you to be SO warm and lovely…you and Tad are both such great people!
Love the pictures…made me homesick for my Area of BAY.
sigh.
I think you should do a fiber research tour of Scandanavia!
Have fun and stay safe out there!

whoa — i was in portland for work a few years ago, and made it out for a hike in the columbia river gorge, but didn’t get any time to frolic further afield. looks like a return trip is certainly in order. these are lovely. and i hear you on the freak outs that can happen when you return to the frontcountry.

I know exactly what you mean. I’m naturally shy by nature, but I do value my online friendships and have had really great experiences when they turn “real” (I know, I hate the terminology too).

It sounds like you and Tad had a great time meeting Rachel; and your photos of Oregon are beautiful. I haven’t been to that state yet (on my family drives, we’ve bypassed it to go to Washington), but now I think a trip is in order.
