Still away in Bridal Falls and just finishing up my 3 weeks here. It has been very relaxing and lots of fun as we have seen all 9 of the grandkiddies up here at one time or another and some even staying with us for a few days.
The weather has been lovely and warm - a little too warm some days and I have had to resort to putting on the air conditioning which has been such a blessing! The kiddies have loved the waterslides and the pool and have kept cool while having loads of fun with Nana. ;-)
Gerry and I went to see a house that is for sale in Lindell Beach in Cultus Lake a couple of days ago ... I love this area! It is just like the Okanagan (which as you know, I absolutely love) and only a fraction of the distance away from Langley and the family! We are looking for a rancher with rv parking and a view. Gerry is retiring in November so we are not in any rush ... we are thinking we will put our home on the market next spring and move sometime hopefully in the summertime. Gerry and I are both on the case and scouring all possible avenues that would accommodate our needs.
My term as President of our local quilters' guild came to an end last month and my UFO's are thanking me. Show and Tell at our monthly meetings will now allow me to show what I can accomplish with a few extra hours a week! LOL
Looking forward to having our grandson, Ozzy, come up this weekend and stay with Gerry and I. It is Halloween in August here at the rv resort which is great fun to see the kiddies all dressed up. Those who wish to participate hang a sign on their rv and the kiddies come a-knocking! ;-)
We will be packing up to go home on Sunday and won't be going out again in the rv until the end of August and then only for 2 weeks as we need to get back to plan our getaway to England/Morocco at the end of September.
I can't believe how fast the summer has gone by this year .... wow, the kiddies are already buying their back-to-school supplies!
All for now ...

Spoiled for my birthday
It was my birthday a couple of weeks ago while I was away in the rv in Ferndale, WA. I had lots of visits from family and friends during my 3 week stay. Two of my buddies came down to see me the day before my birthday and bought me these beautiful flowers. They also spoiled me with strawberries and sponge cake, cherries and ice cream! It was a lovely visit! ;-)
"Bessie" ... the new RV
Here she is at last ... our new rv. It is a 2013 Heartland Big Country and measures in at a whooping 41'. She has four slides, built-in vacuum, washer and dryer, fireplace etc. etc. She is a beauty and will bring us many, many years of pleasure as we tour North America and Mexico in her!
We have only had one rv'ing trip out to Ferndale, WA. right now and have another trip out leaving tomorrow for 3 weeks to Bridal Falls.

Will post more photos of us rv'ing later.
Of course, Bessie needed something to tow her, so Daddio had to buy a new truck ... the 3/4 ton just didn't cut it so he now has this beauty ... a one ton Ford Power Stroke ... she loves that!!!! LOL
Such Fun at the Beach
On Thursday I took four of our little grand darlings to White Rock beach for a fun day of skimboarding, fish and chips and ice cream ... what a beautiful time we had!!! How I love being a Nana!!!! ;-)
Summer is in full swing ....
I cannot believe that I have not posted since May ... I will be doing a lot better from hereonin as I now have a bit more time on my hands.
My one year co-president's term last year, followed by a one year term as President of our wonderful quilters' guild this year, has now come to an end and, of course, that means a lot more time that I will be able to devote to family, friends and, of course, my love of quilting and all those other hobbies I have acquired along the way! LOL
Wednesday was my last official meeting that I chaired with that being our AGM. I gave a President's year-end message and afterwards was presented with this gorgeus basket of wonderful treasures! I was totally overwhelmed and quite teary ... how very, very generous my dear quilting sisters were. One of my friends actually wheeled the basket in saying it was too heavy to lift!! How blessed I feel by the show of appreciation and generosity!! ;-)
This is what was inside this lovely basket !!
I am going to have so much fun enjoying all of these wonderful treasures! ;-)
