Lake Placid, NY
I am in beautiful, sunny, snowy Lake Placid as I write this. I am feeling abundantly grateful for my sweet marriage, traveling, doing work I love. I am still on a learning curve with this wordpress site- If I put pictures in large, the appear stretched and distorted but medium is kind of small. Thanks for bearing with me as I learn what I am doing here!
I am working on my Hundred Thank Yous project this weekend too. I have to be careful and not get any paint in this hotel room! This project is in my heart- it comes with me wherever I go. This afternoon we are going to hike in gorges and ride the gondola over whiteface mountain. We are supposed to get another 10 inches of snow tonight!
Wishing everyone a beautiful weekend where ever you are…
