Posted on June 26, 2008 by Karen

Recently I felt compelled to remake my “Heron” quilt, Along the Flyway, into a beaded piece. I reduced the scale so that 1” of beads equaled 12” of quilt. I ended up with this tiny piece, with some Delica tubes … Continue reading →

Posted on June 25, 2008 by Karen

While in Lewisville, the weather was so hot I felt the need for more sport socks, thinner than what I had brought with me. At the outlet mall in Grapevine, I found some cotton/nylon “no-shows” that ran 6 pairs for … Continue reading →

Mostly WIP

Posted on June 18, 2008 by Karen

Knitting I finished the “Pacific Islands” stole by Fiber Dreams a month ago. It is done in Teal Zephyr on US #5 needles. It was so hot the day I blocked it that, even though I soaked the stole for … Continue reading →

Sunday, June 15 – Day 19, to home

Posted on June 17, 2008 by Karen

We arrived home today, about noon. We spent the afternoon unpacking the motorhome, so I’m exhausted. I also started on 9 loads of laundry. It takes about a week to completely pack the motorhome, but only a few hours to … Continue reading →

Saturday, June 14 – Day 18, to Orland, CA

Posted on June 17, 2008 by Karen

We headed down to Orland today, to the Parkway RV park. I like the people and the pool there. The people bought the place about 4 years ago, and have 6 blond boys. That’s what I know them for, the … Continue reading →

Friday, June 13 – Day 17, to Grant’s Pass, OR

Posted on June 17, 2008 by Karen

Today’s route was interesting, taking us around Crater Lake Park, through forest and desert into Medford, then up to Grant’s Pass. (There’s no direct route from Bend, in the middle of the state, over to I-5.) We stayed at Rogue … Continue reading →

Posted on June 17, 2008 by Karen

This morning we headed out across Highway 20, a new route for us. My allergies have been bad, and the allergy pill I took kept me asleep most of the way, but occasionally I opened my eyes and saw nothing … Continue reading →

We bought gas just before we left town, at $3.919/gallon. Last night we looked at mileages and times for various routes home. We decided we might as well go through Lewiston, Hood River, and Bend, to visit friends and do … Continue reading →

Monday and Tuesday, June 9-10 – Days 13-14, in Pocatello

Posted on June 17, 2008 by Karen

I’ve left you hanging. We’re home now, having been to Pocatello, over to Bend, and down through Grant’s Pass. It’s a good thing Paul’s niece read our blog yesterday, or we wouldn’t have seen Karleen. Karrin let her mom know … Continue reading →

Posted on June 8, 2008 by Karen

We bought gas at Love’s ($3.839/gallon) before heading west on I-80. The ribs last night were superb. Falling off of the bone, full of flavor. Big portions, too, for ½ rack. We’ll have the leftovers soon. Dinner came with applesauce … Continue reading →
