You Won't See ME Today- I'll Be Here

I need a break.
A serious break.
It has been go-go-go
for the past few weeks.
There have been some
family "issues".
Stressful issues.

This is just a one-day break
but it IS a break.

We will be  here..
One of my favorite places
to un-wind..
to just BE.

I'll BE here-
where the shore looks like
this...

And the hotel looks like this...

And the view from the room looks like this..

And during the drive along
 Lake Superior I see a spot
that looks like this..

And, like Pavlov's  dog,
I go to this....
A perfect day away!
Happy Monday!

    Have a wonderful time.
    It's so good to be able to step away from the source of our stress.
    You relax and let go!

    Looks like a great place to get away from it all (or away from us all). I wonder if you plan your vacations with Starbucks locations in mind? Nope, can't go to Paris, because there's not a Starbucks at the top of the Eifel Tower.

    Good Morning Sweetie...
    Oh how beautiful. Can I come along too? I need a serious break as well. I can smell the clean air, and just look at that view. Oh and did you say Starbuck's? Oh you are a daring one.

    I hope you find some peace and guidance today during your visit away sweet friend. Enjoy yourself. Many hugs and much love from Phoenix, Sherry

    Well, Good for you!! & I am hoping that as I write this you are relaxing & enjoying the Beautiful view.
    We did the same thing last night... instead of coming home from up north.. we decided late, just to stay & enjoy another night.. : )
    & does Starbucks pay you to advertise?? They should... You have to be a #1 fan.... : )

    Holy Cats Diana, I didn't know you had a blog! You never mentioned it all the times you visited mine, and the of course your slacking off on the day I find it!
    Seriously... have a great day off, and when you get back you will find that I am your newest follower.

    How beautiful! I'm sure it's a lot cooler than the 106' here. Soooooo tired of these triple digits day after day.

    I hope you were able to relax my friend. You so deserve some peace and quiet.

    I am so glad that you were able to get away, even if for only a day. Me? Purrsonally, you'd had to have used a chain and tow truck to get me to leave something that wonderful after only a day. Seriously though, you so deserved this! Hoping this helped to get you through the week.
