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! ;-)

A Busy but Fulfilling Life ....
Life sure is busy ... not complaining but I do wonder where all the days disappear to!
We recently came back after a wonderful trip to Toronto to see my dear brother-in-law and his wife and the "boys" although they aren't boys anymore being in their early 30's! Truly an excellent visit!
May is shaping up to be such a busy month. The CQA show is in just a few short days and is being held in Penticton this year. Gerry and I were going to head there to the Okanagan in the rv but it is not here yet so we are staying at the Coast Convention Inn where the actual show is going to be held.
This month also sees our 10th year guild anniversary which is so exciting. We have a wonderful committee of ladies who have been working tirelessly on putting on this special event for all of our members.
There are classes and workshops too that I have registered for which all go to make May a very busy but fun-filled month.
We were booked to go out on our first rv'ing trip to Ferndale on May 21st but that, unfortunately, will not happen as our brand new rv is just rolling off the line. We are purchasing a 2013 Heartland Big Country. We are so excited about our new rv as this was the model we fell in love with about a year and a half ago. I know we will have scads of fun in this new home away from home as we made sure it had everything we needed for long distance travelling - even a washer and dryer!
Gerry is retiring in November and we can see ourselves having so much fun in our new rv travelling North America and down into Mexico for the winters.
All for now .... will send photos in next post. ;-)

WOW ... the summer is here ... it reached 80 degrees today.
With summer comes spiffying up the gardens ... a big job and this year my daughter Traci is going to kindly give me a hand which I am eternally grateful for! ;-)
