we are back (again)

and we are gonna stay put for a few weeks maybe months--who knows! we had a great week and even managed to see a HUGE bear wandering around looking for breakfast...and I mean really huge--one of the biggest we have seen in Lakeside... easily over 400 lbs...ya know--it was actually really hot up there in the trees, too and come home and it is well over 100 degrees here!! sure wish we could have stayed longer--I accomplished lots and even managed some walking and hiking--yeah, in the heat! had one good storm while there, that dumped at least 1/2 inch of rain and knocked out power...that is kinda rough when the house is out in the boonies and who knows when things would get fixed...fortunately, it was only about 45 minutes. I managed to crochet by candle light--I completed an afghan and started another (for babies that are coming) and did lots of sewing--pics to follow soon...Tomorrow I go back to quilt shop--I think I am passed the point of helping out--I am still working full time--now I will try to simply put the money away--I wanna go on a nice long trip --hopefully next summer! more soon
