We are at the Pensacola Beach Resort, in what I believe is the most expensive site of our whole trip. But it is so totally worth it. The trailer backs up to the sound, so we only have to walk out our door, turn right, and by the time we get to the end of…
Greetings from New Orleans! We are at Pontchartrain Landing and thrilled to be here. This was a milestone for us. The place we picked out is really very nice. Pretty much all of the campgrounds in the southwest were glorified parking lots – lots of gravel. You figured out where your site was by finding…
Greetings from Deming NM! This is a town with no less than 7 campgrounds that I counted. We are paying $18 a night for full hookups, cable, access to a neighboring hotel with a pool and wifi…there are probably 10 hotels or motels in town, I didn’t count. I have no idea why! This town…
Greetings from Benson, Arizona! We are staying at Butterfields resort and observatory, and last night we got to see the stars from the observatory! Really very different from planetariums. Learned a lot about how scientists study these things and why they think there is life on one of Saturns moons. But I will start at…
Well, we spent 4 days at the Grand Canyon and got to see the whole park. We utilized the free bus system quite a bit. The rangers had both impromptu and formal talks, which were very interesting. And once again, every visitor center had a museum or display of some sort. We did spend a…
If you ever get a chance to travel this part of the world – even for a week – you really should. These National Parks are all huge, with nice roads, great places to pull off and eat or hike, explanatory plaques at each stop. Every single solitary visitor center is a museum of some sort….
We reluctantly left Las Vegas behind on Sunday. On our last days, we went to see Bodies and the Enchanted Garden and Tiger Preserve. We were going to close out the day on Fremont St, but it was just too hot even though the street was covered. Plus we are spending too much money. Zion…
Well, you travel to expand your horizons and I guess we are doing just that. The last time we were in Albuquerque, we had a grand time and couldn’t wait to come back. That’s why we planned a week here. But it is not what we expected. The whole southwest is a bit of a…
One of the blogs I follow, the Bayfield Bunch, just posted photos of quilt blocks on barns that they have seen. Click on the link below to visit their google photos page and see more. One of our blocks made it to the side of a Colorado garage back in 2007. That’s almost the same…
Niagara Falls was nice, but we just didn’t get enough time there. We DID get to the Canadian side (they don’t stamp your passport!) but we didn’t stay for the light show or the fireworks. It was our first long day of traveling and we were tired. When you are driving a big truck towing…
My newly retired husband and I have decided to take a cross country trip to visit the Grand Canyon. The Foreign Exchange student we have had for the past five summers will be joining us in Las Vegas as we do the Grand Circle. We leave tomorrow at 5AM, so I will leave you with…
My gift to you is a free heart pattern! OK, I know it’s an easy pattern. But that just means it won’t take you long to make it into a table topper or pillow cover. This is an easy mini-quilt, table topper, or pillow cover. Printable pattern available by PDF download. Enjoy!
