Kate, this is fine holiday surprise. So glad to reconnect, and know that the Southwest nourishes you and your life. It certainly shows in your art. Fond memories indeed.

Your description of the ferry commute made me think of our experience of returning home from the workplace that’s so different and far away from home. Our workplaces being big metro centers gives us a 2-4 day commute and its always such a lovely decompression experience going from fun but totally weird/nuts urban pace to boring flat midwest and finally back to the beautiful western mountains and home! Its a big headache of a trip but has it’s own little stories along the way and sure makes you appreciate what you have at home!

You’re painting a very beautiful picture of the place you call home.

So beautiful, Tom! It is the simple shared moments that exalt this season. You live in a wonderful place, and I always feel so fortunate that you share it with us…so far away.

Thank you!

What a nice reminder to slow down and enjoy the season!

If you continue to conjure up such amazing images of Vashon, word might get out and you’ll have even more company on your commute.

That’s a beautiful post. Maybe Santa will use his SUV to deliver you an electric heater.
