The day was gorgeous so we sort-of salvaged ourselves with a pretty hike near a roaring creek while the dog tore around chasing imaginary squirrels. We were way out near Rainier Mt and there was no traffic and no other hikers.
Today all this happened:
I am the master of all I survey. And there is the beginning of a roof!!! This is truly exciting. I brought the men cookies. I might be using the loft for sleeping eventually. As long as I can get up there...
I looked at plane fares for the UK, about $4500. Whew. I have been saving. We'll just have to sleep along the road. In sleeping bags.
Tonight my neighbor came over to ask if I liked cinnamon rolls. Who doesn't like cinnamon rolls? Even though I've been exercising like a fiend and actually counting my calories. The roll even had icing on it. It was delicious. The thing about dieting-you can always start again tomorrow.
And getting up in the early morning to go swimming is heavenly; quiet and peaceful.
Fall is well and truly here.

It costs SO MUCH to come over this way - why is it so much more from the States? It would be less than half that from this direction.
Mmmm. Cinnamon rolls. I'm glad those aren't a thing here, really, so I don't have to fail to abstain.
Your view is spectacular! All of this pain will be worth it.
As to dieting- I'm not even trying which has its own problems and rewards.
Jo-right? Is it a conspiracy? Or payback for the Revolutionary War?
Mary-We are well into the excess calorie season. Between Halloween and New Years, it's a path lined with all manner of goodies, most of them unnecessary for actual survival.
What a view! And what's with the trip to England? Is that something that you're planning that I missed you talking about here?
I think there's everything to love about cinnamon rolls, and even more to love about a neighbor who brings them to you.
I'm glad you turned around on the hike. That's the yoga, as we say.
