Dreams of the West
I feel like all I’ve been doing on here lately is complaining. So today no complaining. Today is about dreams. I used to dream about being on Broadway or in movies. It’s what I thought about all the time. If I daydreamed, that is what it was about. I don’t really daydream about that anymore. THIS is what my daydreams consist of now….

I’m obsessed with our Pacific Northwest.

I want to live on a ranch or a vineyard. I’m sure this is mostly due to readingPIONEER WOMAN everyday.
*
I want to live in a houseboat in Seattle. Okay this is COMPLETELY due to watching Sleepless in Seattle and also me being OBSESSED with the house boats that I saw in Amsterdam this summer.
*


Or maybe a darling cottage on a lake in Oregon.

I’ve sunk so low in this obsession, and I’m ashamed to admit this, I subscribed to Sunset Magazine.
I’m ashamed to admit this because of the magazine’s tagline.
Sunset: How To Live In The West
It’s ridiculous I know. I live in Chicago, but this is my current guilty pleasure. Dreaming of the West. Please forgive me.
Just look at this goodness:



This is the stuff that dreams are made of.

I have had a thing for Seattle for a number of years now. And Vancouver looks amazing, too. Ah, wilderness.

Oh I would love to go to Vancouver! Or Costa Rica.
I’m not picky.
