This week we celebrated our 10-year anniversary in the same place where we got married. Plenty of people get married in wine country because it is so ridiculously beautiful, but there’s a nice metaphor, too: older vines grow better grapes than younger vines, and wines get better with time.

Happy place. 😊🏖🏔

A throwback to our #Taiwan trip, because I can’t stop recommending it to anyone who even hints at wanting to take a trip. Seriously one of our favorite countries, full of incredible cultural history, jaw-droppingly beautiful national parks, modern infrastructure, friendly people and cheap everything. Go go go!

Before the smoke came in, we were having a swell summer.

The state is on fire, the ground is dry, the air is smoky and we’re trapped inside with no air conditioning. But at least we can remember back to February when Mark cut 20-inch deep skin tracks through freshies under a bright blue sky. #ournextlife #adventuresinearlyretirement

I haven’t shared many photos lately, because I’ve been trying something new: not taking my phone with me when I leave the house. As a long-time phone addict, this has been more than a little bit of a shock to my system. But I realized that just separating myself from work was not doing enough to help me unplug, and so I had to take what felt like a more drastic step. Device addicts know what I’m talking about. 😉 And so the result is that I have fewer recent photos, but my mind is alive with some beautiful memories, and I’m actually starting to break that twitch at last. 🙌
Also, please enjoy this photo from the headwaters of the American River in the northern Sierra.
