Summer Fun

It's been a very busy month!

Here is just a sampling of the fun...

Our granddaughters, Lily on the left and Isabella on the right.

This is the first time they just got to play together 

and as a 1 year-old will do...everything in the mouth!

Our grandson Jacob turned 6 on the Forth of July.

This is his new scooter.

And last weekend at a Family Reunion at 

Confluence Park in Wenatchee, WA.

The weather was hot and the company was fun!

Our campsite...I don't know where everyone disappeared to.

Time for visits

 New friends (big and small)

 Water balloons complements of Grandpa Gene and Aunt Cindy

This is what I have been doing...

I'm also trying to get my business up on a facebook page,

and might I say, not having much luck! 

So, if you've been successful please let me know your secret.

Best wishes,

A New Giveaway!

(From Fiona  and Twig) 

Blogger land is so much fun. I "meet" so many fun people

and get to share in their adventures.

Fiona and Twig have bought a new house and they are

letting us celebrate with them by sponsoring a give away
of a $90 gift certificate to CSN Stores. You can find almost anything there! 

So, venture on over to both sites and see what you need to do to win and then make out your wish list for what you'd buy!

I'm working on mine.

Best wishes,

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.

We are going to be staying at

Quinault Marina & RV...

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.

 

With love,
