Photos Can Provide a Mini Vacation and The Price is Right

Sometimes it is good to just transport ourselves to another place mentally, even if only for a few minutes. We're grateful for a very good several months of real estate transactions but it sure has been a morass of details. The short sale that turned out to not have a right of way to the state road and the farmhouse with the 1933 power easement surprise took an amazing amount of energy. Revisiting listings taken in winter to rephotograph with fresher and more seasonally appropriate photos takes time. Catching up on business after an awesome two week visit with my mother was intense...but worth it. Tree removal on personal property, an insane number of home improvement projects, planting the first serious vegetable garden in years, unexpectedly having to say goodbye to one dog after a horrible traumatic experience, nursing three dogs through surgeries and let's not even start on the expenses.

Hold up....let me look at this photo again. My mini vacations are all on flashdrive so it's very easy to transport elsewhere. My good friend Emory has this lovely retreat here in Sylva that I don't get to see nearly often enough in person but after looking through the photos for just a few minutes...my life is in order again.

Ah, great idea.  I love catching a glimpse of a beautiful beach or mountain retreat.

Sounds like a good idea. There aren't any vacations on my horizon either.

I need to start saving some photos like that! Our son took one of the view from our deck when he was visiting over the weekend. I'll start with that one!

Mona- I used to have scrolling photos as my screensaver for that very reason.  Your photo is very relaxing.

It is so true that photos can provide a mini-vacation, and the price is right.  I often enjoy "arm chair" travel through pictures.

Hi Mona,

I really like your photo as it is very vintage looking and so relaxing. We should all be taking mini vacations several times a year.

Mona, okay, this brought some tears....sad ones and sweet ones. I'm with you on all of this...lost some wonderful "family" this year, too, but life is GOOD.
