We’ve been visiting up here in the Okanagan during the month of September for years. I guess that’s where the pinch me feeling comes in now that we live here. If you took your holidays every year at the same time, in the same place could you be forgiven for forgetting for a moment that you now live where you used to vacation, and you are not dreaming anymore.
It’s a true “pinch me” moment. This is the month we always came up here, to visit family, and celebrate my husband’s birthday. We would get a birthday cake, from the same bakery that made our wedding cake when we were married up here, it was, it is tradition.
The weather is always a guaranteed run of beautiful hot days, cool nights, it’s what we looked forward to all year.
And I still get these moments that make me think we have to leave, wrap up the trip, pack up the clothes, and go back. To the coast, to our little condo, it’s so real, I can feel it.
It’s a very odd feeling, knowing that you have achieved what you only dreamed about before, it’s a reality, but it still feels like a dream.
Pinch me, I want to wake up to my Muddy Boot Dreams.
