If you are looking for me....

This is where you will find me...far from the maddening crowds.

For the last 7 years we have been going to this little cabin by the sea for my birthday weekend. We missed once and regretted it. There is no cell phone reception, no computers, no cars, no going anywhere for a whole week. Peace.

Evenings are filled with long firelight chats, star gazing (we even have a telescope this time), BBQ's and wonderful fellowship as a family.

On the doorstep is a wonderful river and lagoon where the boys spend days fishing.

A little further on are the dunes we love to climb to go to the beach.

Superman and I celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary this week and I celebrate my 41st birthday which makes it a special week away.

Aah...rest! See you in a couple of days.
