---and I'm back from the show and learned that a "lifestyle entrepreneur" is someone who moves to an area because she (or he) enjoys the lifestyle it offers, then creates a niche that allows her to pay the bills. Around these parts, that's just about everyone!

But is sure is pretty :) How lovely to enjoy coffee on the north jetty any given morning before walking to work ~
