And I am off

A fast to trip to Spokane, I leave Boise at 2:30 and arrive at Spokane at 2:31, now how is that for fast?

I'll be back on Monday.

Happy Quilting!

A safe landing.

Next Friday I am taking a little trip to Spokane, via Alaska Airlines. I really dread flying, actually I don't mind flying I just hate taking off and landing. I am always pleased to have my feet back on the ground.

I'm home!

I will be posting again real soon. I have lots to tell you.

Happy Quilting!

Relaxing in Portland

I just want to let everyone know I am having a very relaxed vacation in Portland.

Happy Quilting!

2 more days then I can retire again

Yes only two more days then I can retire Again.




The quilt shop will be closing the doors Saturday the 26th. The last 2 weeks have been non stop measuring and cutting fabric. Do I sound like I am complaining?
Sorry don't mean to complain, I am just tired, I am not use to working a 40 hour week, but it will soon be over.
I don't think I have ever had a part time job in my life that didn't turn into a full time job.
However the extra $ will be nice.

I have 2 trips planned, one in August and one in Sept.

I am going to Portland for 10 days to visit my kids, grandkids, and great grandkids, in August.
I also hope to get some time to spend with a couple of my quilting buddies that live in the Columbia River Gorge.

Then in Sept. I am going to a class reunion in Priest River Idaho. It is not my reunion but my older brothers. I have only been back to Priest River once in 50 years, for a short visit, but I remember living there like it was yesterday.

I will fly to Spokane where my brother will pick me up, he will be coming from western Wa. Then he will be bringing me home on his way to Reno.
He has an extended trip planned.

After that I will be home for the winter.

Happy Quilting!

Yellowstone Trip

It would be hard to say what I enjoyed most about my trip to Yellowstone National Park, last week.The waterfalls are everywhere and spectacular.


The beautiful pools of blue water, that reach a temperature of 170 and higher.








The geysers, that go off without any warning.








The bubbling oozing earth.









The wildlife.







The mountains, the vistas, the lake.







Camping with friends.






Camping in the lodge pole forest.





And of course Old Faithful, every 90 minutes.
