Unplugging

July 25, 2011 by dailygnome 2 Comments

My friend Shelley and her husband purchased a bit of land in the gorge a few years ago, set up a yurt and use it for their weekend escapes.
When she invited me for a weekend of unplugging, relaxing, and soaking up the sun with a few girlfriends I readily accepted the invitation.

Rocking chairs and vintage loungers on the deck command relaxation.

Shelley has the meal planning down to an art. With everything prepped and planned I felt very spoiled. Seriously, all that was left to do was pop a cork or fire up the burner for the morning French press:

Pointing out Mt. Hood and Mt. Adams had the clouds not been in the way:

Time passes quickly when relaxing is mixed with good conversation, disconnecting and yummy food. All I remember is falling asleep in the hammock, reading some tidbits in my current Real Simple, sipping cocktails and laughing a lot.

I could watch the sun set over this view every night. How about you?
