We are home! And we're going to eat supper today! It's all working out!
We had such a nice time at the ocean. Our friends, Doyle & Susie were there, too, 3 of our 4 days. Then we had a beautiful drive across the state through the mountains on U.S. 12 (White Pass). After that we met a delightful man where we parked on his property as Boondockers. He was our host and affiliated with the second winery that we visited. It was the first time we had been the Boondocking campers. Usually we're the hosts. We liked this fellow so much, we may stay at his place again soon. We will be passing through about May 11 on our way to our friend, Betsy's, celebration of life in LaGrande, OR. We might go a day early and stay at his place again just to visit. He is halfway (200 miles). Yesterday we were home and parked by noon. We emptied the trailer of all that needed to come inside the house and since yesterday was 80* and a slight breeze, I whipped the sheets off the trailer bed, washed them, and dried them on the line. I also did the cotton sheets because I figure when we go out next in the trailer we won't not be needing the flannels. Today I'll finish the rest of the laundry and clean the inside of the trailer. I was going to do some yard work but it looks like it's going to be wet and chilly so I guess I'll stay inside. The garage really needs cleaning but I'd also like to do a few flower blocks for May Lotto. And then there's OWL, and The Shirt. I've figured out that I no longer like garment sewing. Bad timing as I still have 1-1/2 shirts to go. And a sundress.
LORI - you're going to the quilt show in Sisters?? You lucky! I've been to Sisters many times, but never for the big show. We've stayed at nearby Tumelo state park, at the RV park in town, and at our friends who live in nearby Bend. The quilt shop is fun and I've done a few of their patterns where the entire quilt is a big applique'd scene. They had a whole wall of batiks last time I was there. I had a hard time resisting them. They are half yarn shop, too. You are going to have a lot of fun! It's the second weekend in July, isn't it? July 8th. We've never done any wine-tasting in Sisters area but there is a vodka distillery nearby. I think it's between Sisters and Bend. I'm not a big vodka drinker but was fun to go taste the different vodkas. We bought a bottle of their hot chile vodka about 4 yrs ago. We still have most of that bottle. lol!
BECCA - that Harvey house slaw you mentiond sounds intriguing. I'm always looking for a new kind of salad. What's in it?
Last night was such a great day and we grilled chicken and ate on the deck (and spent the entire evening out there until bedtime). Today I'm taking the leftover chicken and making chicken tacos, I think. Pretty sure that will make my hubby smile.
What sounds tasty at your place for tonite?[/flash][/flash]
