Hitchin’ again, hitchin’ again

December 20, 2014.Reading time 14 minutes.

What goes north must eventually go back south, most unfortunately. I fell head over heels for our little log cabin and it pained me very much to hand the keys over the morning we checked out of it. We could not have asked for a better vacation than a cabin in Finland- it’s just right […]

Gregory keeps trying to convince me I’m a northern woman now, but I miss the 70° Oklahoma autumn days.
