Enjoy the weekend

Taking Friday off...jumping on a plane...landing in San Fran...meeting friends...ordering wine with lunch...so much to do...so little time...

See you Tuesday!

Summer Inspiration

Leaving you all for a week while I head down the road for some R & R.

Just reminding you that there is still time left this summer to have friends over for an outdoor fire, cocktails in the garden, picnic lake side, beach walks, planting a garden, relaxing in a hammock.

Enjoy!

Miss Me?

Ummm... No

Winthrop Love

On our glamping trip we stopped in Downtown Winthrop. Super cute town, easy to shop and lots to see.

 And a cute boy serving them up...Couldn't tear the girls away.

 My kids were unimpressed with this vintage gas pump. I am all too familiar with this style as I remember how many times as a teen filling up from all of our "cruisin'".

 I shall now begin to call all toilets and bathrooms the "washroom". I will start on Monday when we are loading up a truck. I will tell Sister Ex while she is selecting linens that the "washroom" is painted grey. That'll give her a chuckle.

 This city girl is utterly shocked when she sees undeveloped lake front. How refreshing.

 Oh, if life could be this simple. A straw broom (not a swifter) and a tin can (not a plastic, rolly hinged thingy).

Happy Friday!

Stopped by Sun Mountain Lodge in Winthrop Washington on one of our glamping trips. Had to pass all of these guys in order to get to the bar. Well it was only 3pm.  This vegetarian still appreciates the beauty in these animals. (Hope they had a good life....)

Palm Springs

This should be enough to make you envious:

I am returning asap. Sunshine, cocktails and a few days of relaxing does this Middle Sister some good.

Airstream Affection

Stole away for a few days for more Airstream fun. So far every trip involves looking at the sky just for the simple beauty of it. This camping thing kind of suits me.  It felt good to experience....

 the shades of blue...

 clouds...

 A lovely sunset...

 A hellish wind storm....

 A bit of calm in the early morning...

Our first outdoor camping breakfast...ever

And a quiet moment alone at the campsite.

 

Camping destination Wanapum State Park, Vantage, Washington.

Relaxing and Planning

Have had a few heavenly days off. Been relaxing a bit and planning our next road trip!

Heading Home from Portland

Had a blast shopping and we are now inspired to work on our projects: Staging, kids rooms, Airstream and our office.

 Loved the little white chinese dragon book ends peaking out of the cart.

 Bulletin boards to be painted and hung.

 A mirror dresser on sale with a few needed repairs. The price was too good to pass up.

We get a ton of stares from people when we empty the car and repack for a new purchase. We did it again outside of West Elm. (we were parked for only 5 minutes in the handicap zone and there we many free spaces so don't be annoyed).

Closed for the Season

Off to Mexico with sisters 3. (Sister Ex doesn't need the rest but this Middle Sister has been holding up the fort while she treds the soil of foreign lands-just sayin').

I'll also be needing this:

And this...

And this...

And this...

Good-bye for awhile....
