Life's a Stitch

And more recently life’s a creative adventure with some travel thrown in.

Forget what I said about getting over the jet lag in one fell swoop, it’s taken me far longer than I expected to get over it. A luxurious complaint indeed.

The best part of our dream vacation was when our friends took us to the island of Usedom, in the northeast corner of Germany, on the border of Poland. At the turn of the century it was vacation spot for the rich and famous and summer "houses" a.k.a. mansions were built in a row for miles facing the Baltic Sea. Being in East Germany, these homes deteriorated during times of socialist rule. Now they have been renovated into vacation condos and this is where we stayed:

Thank you Ingrid and Ulrich!

It is also the place where Kiri, now happily blocking, was finished:

It’s back to work this week, my next post will be later this week. I love my job, but don’t you hate the first week back after vacation?

    That looks like a beautiful spot to spend time. Obviously the ‘feet’ enjoyed it. Jet lag is a pain isn’t it. I remember lying on our sofa in a semi conscious state, totally amazed that I was able to hear an english news broadcast on tv. Until I remembered that we were back home and english news was pretty much a given in Vanc. Good to hear that Bryant had a great time at WYD. I’m sure there will be some wonderful stories being told when the kids get back to school next week.
