The Maiden Voyage


Here we are, all set up and ready to relax! 
We stayed at the Quinault Marina & RV Park.
Look how close we are to the beach...it was so nice.
It was really quiet, probably because it was 
mid-week and early in the season.   
The weather was cloudy most of the time, 
but it didn't rain until the morning that we left 
and then only a sprinkle.



We took lots of walks, went into Ocean Shores a few times.
We saw some wild life...some deer and a raccoon. 
(I, of course, did not have my camera with me at the time.)

After a little while it really did feel 
like our home away form home.


As you can see the dogs settled right in...
please note the dog beds on the floor...
but they would rather sleep in the couch.  
We did learn some lessons along the way, 
never trust the seagulls.  
They grabbed one of our steaks while my husband 
stepped into the trailer for just a minute.

Also, make better lists...I had the steak, the chicken, 
but nothing to really go with them.
There are also some little things we need to get,
like pot holders, table cloth for picnic table, 
misc. stuff you have at home 
and don't think about until you need it.  

And we have to get the hot water issue worked out!  
It came out luke-warm once we finally figured out 
where all the by-pass and other valves were.

The next trip is in July for a Family Reunion in Wenatchee.

With love,

I'm Done!


It's taken 3 years, but I'm done!
(At least for a little while.)
Thank you to my wonderful husband for putting up with all
the projects and homework,
not to mention tuition and other expenses.
I love you!

Now for a job...

With love,

A new website!


I've been busy.  This is my first published website!  The sense of accomplishment is fantastic when you finish a project.  

This website is for my cousin, she is a 
licensed massage practitioner in Ritzville, WA

I had fun making it and bringing back what I had learned last year in all my web design classes.  It also shows me what more I'd like to learn, like some more photoshop skills.

Please check it out!

With love,

Hello Again!

Hi!  It's been a while, I know. 
Of course it's been crazy busy (as always) 
and then throw in an emergency trip to LA. 
And it goes from crazy to WILD!
But that's life.

And with the trip to Los Angeles we canceled our 
maiden voyage  in the fifth-wheel.
But we have rescheduled and soon we will be headed 
out and about to the Ocean Shores area.

(found image)

We are going to be staying at
Check them out on Facebook.
The reviews sound awesome...close enough to everything,
but far enough away to be quiet and relaxing.
I am soooo looking forward to it.
My agenda is to walk on the beach everyday
...a campfire every night, 
and of course, snuggling with my favorite honey!

Check back and read my review.  
I'll be posting it on Facebook too.

With Love,

Easter Cactus

This beautiful cactus is called an Easter Cactus.
It is in the yard of a neighbor of my parents in Arizona.
The story goes that it only blooms once a year, at Easter.  It doesn't matter if Easter is in March or April, the cactus knows.  The blossoms last only one day.

We were fortunate enough to be there that day.

Here it is!  Our new home-away-from-home.  

This picture was taken by my Mom 
in front of their house in Arizona.   

I am so looking forward to camping this summer.
We already have a few dates set up.  
So if anyone has any suggestions as to where to go,
send them my way. 

With Love,

Happy Easter


Happy Easter!

However you spend your day, enjoy it.

I'm headed out on a road trip to get a fifth-wheel trailer.  It will be a lot of fun this summer to camp and get away.  And we won't have to deal with over weight luggage, late airplanes, crowded seats and all the other fun things that go along with airline travel.

I'll have pictures soon.

With love,
