Coming Home

Gosh was it ever good to come home after a summer packed with adventures. Even though we were just 3 reconnected there were lots of hugs and lots of tears.

All summer long our neighbour fed Martin and the kids every Thursday night. It was so amazing! This was dinner on my first Thursday night home. 

And then my middle guy came back from Cadet Camp. There were more hugs and tears.

Finally, the Creative Princess returned from Rendez-Vous in Montreal. It was such a good feeling to have all of us in the same place again!

And then our family adventures began again and I was gifted this lovely bracelet.

It is time to adjust my sails.

Much love,

It's a dog's life...

I now have more dog friends than I ever could have anticipated. Over my 11 weeks I lived with 5 dogs in the 7 places that I was invited to live. Those dogs...how I miss them. What a delight to be able to just play with them and spoil them.

This is Hali. She and I played a lot together...she is the sweetest thing.

 I enjoyed so much of this time, of this work but boy there were days where this sentiment felt honest...it was so much work. When we were working, boy did we work. Rest was always well deserved and drinks were infrequent but much appreciated.

Finally...as we were heading home on our last day in Nova Scotia, I found this bottle of Coke that I was simply delighted by. I was ready.

It was time to come home...

So tired.
So worn.
So empty.

Much love,
Heather

CampLife

 As I was planning our Halifax programs, our host made it clear that visiting Sherbrooke Lake Camp was top of the list in terms of necessity. Upon arriving, one of the first things you see is this bridge that leads the way into the woods to a path that, for me, is not yet taken. Perhaps the next time I find myself at Sherbrook, I will discover where it leads for now...I will just enjoy what is signifies...

A place where friendships are made and boundaries are stretched.

I got out for a paddle with my friend Mat. He is the one that made the trip out to camp happen. It was such a good space to be in.

We enjoyed a full afternoon and some time into the evening there...just taking it in...

And celebrating all of our blessings....

Mat has been to camp the last few days and has shared some of the beautiful space that it is through the Sherbrooke Lake Instagram account. Check it out sometime.

So full of beauty.

So full of life.

So full of the Holy Spirit.

Much love,

Heather
