I’m finally getting our camping photos uploaded! Wow – what a week I’ve had…lots of work.
OK – here are photos of our camping trip to Lake Francis – near Oroville and Marysville, CA:
Yep! We are home. We were dirty. We are happy to be home! Watching DVDs that were waiting in our mailbox and doing laundry now that everyone is clean.
Eric took lots of pics – so I’ll be downloading them (tomorrow probably) and uploading soon. Glad to be home…heading back to the comfy couch, knitting and movies! Man, I love technology and my comfy home! 😉
Well, as you read this – we are camping! Trying out our tent camper. Hoping it works for us – just excited to be off the ground! lol
While camping, I’ll be knitting of course – but also J3 has expressed interest in knitting and seems to be determined. At least he’s determined that I not forget HIS needles and yarn! I cast on a blanket for his “Baby-uh” a boy doll he’s had for a long time. I decided to just concentrate on the ‘flow’ of knitting so I’m putting my hands over his and we are knitting it English – very new experience for me.
Well, I’d better go….just waiting for Dh to get out of the shower so we can go! I’ll post pics when we get home. TTYL!
A couple of weekends ago, while J1 was camping, DH, J2, J3 and I went to my sister and BIL’s house in the Foothills. There are TONS of wineries around them and we’ve gone wine tasting once or twice. My dad and stepmom and my aunt and uncle came up too. We had a yummy brunch first! My sister’s friend, Tamara, also joined us. My BIL stayed home to play in his yard (his form of therapy) and watch the kids. Dh and my dad were the designated drivers and I can’t even tell you how many wineries we visited! The pictures below are from one of the last ones we visited.
This is all of us. Dad, Connie, Me, Eric, Beth, Ellen, & Uncle Steve
Eric and the view
Me and the other view
20 years – still in love! 😉
This is what J1 looked like just seconds before he flew out the door with his dad heading to the Boy Scout Cabin. They will be camping overnight up in the coastal foothills (well, more valley than hills). He doesn’t know yet that his ONLY friend in the troop will not be going along. 🙁 I’m hoping he will make new friends, but I’m not sure that he will try. I’m sort of sad for him. I will pray for him the whole time that he will have a good time and make friends. I’d appreciate if you’d remember him in your prayers too.
