I spent last week in Central Washington visiting my mom and her husband. My mom is sick so I helped around the house this visit. It's a great feeling to take care of your parents, even in small ways, after they've given so much to you. It was a great visit.
Before driving back I stopped in the Bavarian village of Leavenworth and beautiful Icicle Canyon and enjoyed the pretty flowers and gorgeous mountains. There's something special about the place you grew up, isn't there? Even the dry air felt familiar and refreshing. Central WA will always be home.
Since returning to Portland I've been sick as a dog. Yesterday I slept the entire day until 5:00 pm (you heard me) and today I slept off and on until 6:00! And I'm still beat. I've been watching wave reports and was hoping to get out and do a little surfing tomorrow, but there's no way that's going to happen. Cross your fingers I'll feel better before the clouds come later in the week.
One of my favorite places to camp it Icicle Canyon.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I am coming down with a cold. Sleeping an entire day sounds perfect. I hope you feel better!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah baby....Leavenworth rocks. And that river is so pretty. I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteAh, the Icicle. I'm glad you had a nice visit. That is a super way to look at it as a "special feeling to take care of your parents, even in small ways, after they've given so much to you."
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling top notch soon!
