The Bend weekend worked wonders.  I am now totally inspired to hit the sewing table and get some stuff done.  We picked up a ton of cute patterns and fabric to help with the inspiration.  The weather was out of a movie.  As we drove up the mountain pass, leaves the color of gold gently dropped to the forest floor around us.  It was sunny and nippy and glorious.  I’ve decided I need to buy a little cabin up in the mountains.  Something tiny and hidden amongst all those trees next to a babbling creek would do just fine.  Kevin thought I was kidding until he found me cruising the real estate sites for Linn County late last night.  Then he became worried.  But after a few minutes seated next to me, he was quickly on board.  All we need now is an extra couple of grand and we’re golden.  Ah well, a girl can dream, right?
