August is here and I'm sitting in in Washington in my 

sister's cozy house waiting for the expected rain to fall. It has been a great 

vacation so far. Soaking up all the family time 

I can get before school begins and another year flies by. Putting the phone down and having 

good conversation and finding new creative inspiration. 

I love how you can be inspired in a new way by being around different people, new landscapes and even the crisp feel which seems to possess these northwestern winds. It is such a mix of old memories and new perspectives. I love this place for different reasons each time I return home.
