I'm back bloggin'.....





Hi !
I have had a few requests that I continue with my blog, and to tell you the truth, I have missed it.
As silly as it is....I have.
Soooooo what I will do, is make posts now and then, basically writing and posting photos of 'my life'.
Day to day, trips etc.
So, with that being said....

As some of you know, we have a little place in The Hualapai Mountains in Kingman AZ.
We enjoy going there every other weekend or so. It gets Mark away from work, and we enjoy the little bit of
seasons we get up there....both of us being born and raised in Illinois, we DO miss our seasons !
Raking leaves in the Fall, and snow in the winter and cooler summers than Havasu has to offer.


Well, we went up over Labor Day weekend and worked on some projects, stayed a few days. Tuesday morning when were leaving,
Mark called me into the garage to show me what he thought was a Bob Cat Kit in the rafters....well, it was gone, we assumed the cat ran out. So, we closed up the garage and headed for Havasu.
When I returned this past Saturday, I pulled up and heard a cat meowing coming from the garage !!!!
Yep ! 10 DAYS LATER !!!!!
I unlocked the door and out ran the kitty... BUT, not very far, as I walked over to it, it came closer to me :-)
Sooo sweet and loving....rubbing and meowing all the time.
I went inside the cabin and got the kitty a packet of dog food, milk, then a can of tuna and some water.
It was Feasting to say the least.
I will keep you updated on "Scamp"
It just kind of stuck, the name,, and I looked up the definition and it seems to fit:
"Mischievous, in a likeable, amusing way, a wicked or worthless person, a rogue"
'Til next time...

Take Care and remember...
" Life is Good"

The Food we ate....















Hi,
I was going through my photos and I have so many photos of all the food we ate,
so, I thought I would post some photos of that ! From the beginning of the trip in Napa, we fell in love with the Heirloom tomatoes.
Then, the blackberries from the side of the road in Calistoga, St.Helena and all the way up the coast to Bellingham Washington! YUMMY !
Ripe and ready to eat.
Smoked Salmon, and soups, Steak, more Heirlooms.....
Food Food Food !

Bye, Bye Idaho...Hello Utah !

Good Morning !
Well, as we wind down this trip. All in all it's been a great journey.
With some wonderful memories made.
Some sad, like the loss of the truck in Aberdeen, Washington.
RIP Toyota Tacoma.
From the vineyards of Napa and Sonoma to the Redwood Hwy and Humbolt county,
the beaches and berries of Oregon on into Washington, which was heaven in August !
Thanks for following us. I enjoyed all your comments, even though they weren't all
'published'....so many of you sent me comments via email.
Heading home with a few bruises....as My grandmother didn't call me 'Grace' for nothin'.
It's hard sometimes to walk around while this RV is cruisin' on the bumpy highway.

Wishing you a Happy Friday !

Good Evening from Idaho....

















Hi,
It was an okay day today, not one of the most scenic drives of the trip, that's for sure.
But, We had a good time. Again, pulled off the side of the road and had the last of our
Heirloom tomatoes, basil, toasted bread and some crumbled cheese from Farm to Market Road.

Ahhhhh....memories of Bellingham.

We drove back into Idaho...just outside Pocatello to McCammon Idaho.
A nice RV Park to spend the night, with a great view and guess what....?
More horses !

We thought maybe we would test out the Lava Hot Springs in the area, but got in about 6pm
Sooooo.... not this time.
We had fun just hangin' with the dogs and the horses here and took a walk at sunset.
Enjoy the photos....
