Well, our week away in the rv has been very relaxing. The weather has been rainy and very overcast every day with the exception of the day we arrived and the following Saturday. So while it has been nice to get away in the rv with hubby and catch up on some reading and watching a couple of movies in front of the fireplace, it is not the way we enjoy spending 2 whole weeks away. Sooooooooooooooo, having said that ...
We went back across the border yesterday as I had the guild meetings to attend and a memorial service for a dear friend's Mom who passed away recently. I was just getting ready to leave the house for my guild meeting and hubby came bouncing down the stairs asking me what I had planned for the upcoming week. I told him that we were still supposed to be away in the rv until June 5th to which he replied that he had made other plans! We are flying off to Cabos on Monday for a week's fun in the sun. Gerry has booked us into the 5* Riu Santa Fe right on the beach with an oceanview suite. It looks and sounds heavenly. At last, we can bring out the sunscreen and pop on the sunglasses! LOL
We got up this morning to find another dreary grey day which is such a shame but we are going to make the most of it ... we even have a lovely steak barbie planned for this evening's dinner.
Tomorrow we are heading back home with the rv and will put it back into storage until our next rv trip out at the end of June.
Funny times ....

Rainy but Relaxing!
Well the weather could be a lot better! Yesterday it poured buckets - today is overcast and damp!
We relaxed in the rv yesterday and did some reading and watched a movie and I managed to get a lot done on my latest Sashiko project. Today we are popping out to go to a couple of fabric shops ... I know, I know!
Hubby announced this morning that he does not like the look of the forecast for the next two weeks of his holiday so has been checking on the internet for anywhere that we can go where we can slap on sunscreen, wear sunglasses and swim! It looks as though we might be heading to Los Cabos for 7-10 days!
One never knows with hubby and I where we will end up ... I love the spontaneity of it all !! ;-)
So, while the weather might not be as nice as we would like it to be here ... it looks as though we will eventually find the sun ... just not in Ferndale, Washington! LOL

Time Away in the RV
First of all, I can't believe a whole month has gone by since I last posted on my blog and secondly, I can't believe another summer is upon us and we are out enjoying our first rv trip of the season! Unbelievable how the time flies!
So much has happened since my last post ...
Our guild has had our quilt show and what a show it was! Nothing, but nothing, could have been improved upon. We even showed a handsome profit this year - the only other time we showed such a profit was 10 years ago, which was our very first quilt show. I entered into our challenge, the Kourageous Kids and main portion of the show with several quilts I entered.
Our 2011/12 guild year is winding down now and I am eagerly looking forward to the upcoming guild year and serving out the second part of my two year term as President. We have such exciting things happening on the horizon, least of not is going to be our 10 year guild anniversary celebration!
Wow ... thinking back over the last month ... we have had such fun family celebrations too. There was Mother's Day and oh, how my 5 girls and their dear families spoiled me! I felt so honoured ! I received so many lovely cards and beautiful gifts of flowers and stepping stones for the garden. All will be momentoes for years to come!
Our youngest grandchild, little Mason, turned a big 2 years old ... where does the time go! He is too cute!
Of course, the guild has kept me very busy which is to be expected but is very gratifying!
I have so many lovely photos to post but they will have to wait until I get home unfortunately.
So, here we are now ... away in the rv in Ferndale, WA. at one of our favourite spots - The Cedars RV Resort - we have seen so many friends we know here as they are all members too and come here often.
Yesterday was lovely - nice and bright and sunny. Today is raining ... we took advantage of the dry spell this morning and cleaned the awning and now the rain is finishing off the job of washing it off for us. The kitties are with us and loving being away with us ... they know this is their home away from home and have all the comforts of back home here.
Well, that's all for now ... I know I will be back writing on my blog lots from hereonin again as life is slowing down a tad for the summer months.
