What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

You'll need to let me know if we were intrepid or stupid this weekend. It was a short couple of days, but we packed a lot in. As I mentioned in my last post, we headed over to Neskowin, Oregon, to see the Neskowin Ghost Forest...an item that has been a long-time resident on my bucket list. And you know how it is when you travel with me...you see a lot of barns. Only, this time, not so many because the first barn caused me great frustration. This is how it is trying to photograph ...

Before leaving Bandon yesterday, we paid one more visit to see the Circles in the Sand. Here was Wednesday's version:

You'd be disappointed if I didn't lay a little awesome alliteration on you before our trip is over, wouldn't you? We're home now, and there's quite a bit of catching up to do, both blog-wise and unpacking-wise. So let's just back up to when we left Reno, Nevada, yesterday morning. It was going to be a long day of driving, and so we got an early start. It wasn't long before we crossed the border into northern California.

With the help of both my stitching cats, the 4th of the barns for the Appalachian Memories quilt was finished this morning. Smitty was doing double duty pining away next to their treat bowls. He was helping me stitch while simultaneously begging for treats. Who says cats can't multi-task?

It was another long day of driving yesterday. We went 340 miles. We wanted a shorter day, but there weren't many places to stay along the way that didn't involve deviating from our path by quite a bit. Coalinga seemed the best choice. We're in a part of the state dominated by agriculture, and so it's unusually remote by California standards.

Before leaving Redding yesterday morning, I snapped this shot of the mountains. We could see this from our spot.

Good morning, friends! We had a long day of driving yesterday...370 miles to reach Redding, California. We're staying at a park we've stayed in before when heading south. It's pretty nice...right off the freeway, and so a little bit noisy, but not enough to keep us awake. We were pooped pups when we arrived, having spent the last couple of days making lots of trips in and out packing food and personal belongings. But all that is pretty well forgotten when we awaken on the first day of a trip.

Title of this post compliments of my son, Matthew. We had such a lovely afternoon and evening yesterday. The kids arrived early because Erik wanted to watch the Rose Bowl game without having to interrupt to drive to our house. That was just perfect for me because I've really been missing the kids this past fall. It was so nice to get to spend the whole afternoon and evening with them.

Matthew and I aren't too much into football, and so we went out for a walk late in the day. Along the way, we passed by our ...

Yesterday's housekeeping chore was finished early and so it was mostly a day of sewing. Of course, I started by slow-stitching on the barn.

What's new with you?

Here's what's new here at the Three Cats Ranch. Yesterday Mike picked up the little compact dishwasher for the RV. It's practically the whole reason we bought the new RV...that, and all the other stuff. Originally, it was supposed to be a non-optional option in our rig...only then, non-optional became nonexistent when the manufacturer stopped installing them. We couldn't even get them to do it despite our ongoing and insistent begging. Not to worry...the Resident Engineer can take care of that, and so he's done his research ...
