So glad you're here, friend.
There's a lot happening these days. We've all got to-do lists, too-full laundry baskets, and dinners to be made. In the midst of all this glorious ordinary, we can each use a little extra wind in our sails to puff us up with a smile and to remind us that the world really is beautiful. Welcome to Sailing Through :)

📍Northern Cairngorms | Scotland | 2025
____
Toward the end of our trip last fall, I came down with a horrible cold, putting a “next time” on all our big plans to hike and explore.
Our riverside cottage was tucked just north of the National Park, surrounded by the crisp golds and deep greens and rusty hues of a Scottish fall. Stocked with all the medicine and snacks galore, we took our rest on the road and spent those last few days gliding along the twists and turns of the Cairngorms. From the passenger seat, wrapped tight in my blanket as my husband drove & drove, we climbed mountains, greeted sheep, gazed upon castles, stopped to ponder the stories of roadside cottages, and watched the auburn fields of faded Heather pass by as Andy Serkis read us Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings.”
“This is the life,” I thought, “now, time for another nap.”

📍Grandfather Mountain | North Carolina
Our first trip to the hazy Blue Ridge Mountains was in the fall, and ever since, I’ve wanted to return in the summer to see the Rhododendrons in bloom. On the way up this May, we saw many spent buds. So, what a surprise to find the mountainside dotted with these cotton-candy pink beauties as we climbed higher! Until next time, dear friends.
