Panguitch, Utah, and Mossy Cave Hike from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. It was a banner day yesterday. We headed out to Panguitch to see the things I wanted to see there. It's a small town, and so we were finished there before lunch time. We decided to head back to the RV and stop off at a hike we'd seen along the way: Mossy Cave. Smitty got out for a walk when we got back to the RV. So with all that going on in a single day, you might know that I have a pile of pictures for you. You might want to fill ...

Cannonville, Utah from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. We've moved along to Cannonville this morning. It was a fairly short drive to reach the new spot. We were just five miles away and an hour too early, and so we stopped in a very small town for some lunch. While we were eating, a text message came in from the RV park asking when we thought we might check in. Probably, it was somebody's Friday (everybody's Friday, actually), and they were hoping to leave early. In any case, very friendly folks here. 

The park is nothing fancy, but nice enough. It ...

Gooseneck State Park from ... Cat Patches

Good afternoon, my friends. It's true I told you I probably wouldn't be blogging today. But you know what a blabbermouth I am. Besides...I have words piling up in my head, and we can't have that.

We had a pretty good cell signal at the state park, but only 3G, and so I could get on the internet, but uploading pictures would have been a pain, if it was even possible. So we find ourselves in Kanab, Utah, this afternoon. I'll tell you about our day of driving in tomorrow's post. For now, I ...

A Zillion Picture Day from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends! Well, what can I say? It was another day of jaw-dropping scenery and me not being able to stop my shutter finger from firing away picture after picture after picture. I've tried my best to whittle them down some, but it's hard to do. As I'm writing, I'm surrounded by kitties who are 'zhausted after spending so much time helping me with those pictures. Sadie is lounging on Mike's lap:


Smitty found our bed in disarray, and so he built a little nest for his sleeping pleasure.

Monticello, Utah from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. And hooray for good internet! We had some time to kill yesterday morning since our drive to Monticello was only about an hour. It gave me some time to spend on my slow-stitching. I finished the head of the cat.


I could have stitched more, but it seemed as good a time as any to move my hoop lower where I could stitch the cat's body.

When I finished with that, it was time to move along. We hitched up and left the park, driving north just a little way. We had lunch at the ...

Almont, Colorado from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends! It's so good to see you this morning! I was sure we'd be without internet here, but there's a brand spanking new cell tower right on site, and the cell signal is banging in! If you thought you were going to get a break from my compulsive prattle, you're going to be disappointed.

The kitties were chill as always when we took off yesterday morning. Smitty rode the side slide in. (We call that "surfing the slide.") Sadie was in her cubby. 


It was around 70 miles to the state line. Soon ...

Vernal, Utah from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. I'm happy to say we still have internet access here in Vernal. We're practically right on the main highway, and so it isn't surprising. It's also fairly noisy. Oh well. It was quiet enough for a good night's sleep.

We drove through three states yesterday. As you can see, Sadie was completely stressed out at the thought of another day of driving. Actually, I think she was hoping we'd get going so she could get her morning nap.


As I mentioned, the RV park delivered our breakfast yesterday. It was ...

May 2023 from Ravelly1

 Warning: Loads of photos!!

Hi everyone! Well, it's been a very long time since I've posted. Good grief, where did the time go?!

I've been quite busy doing all sort of things. I'll do a show and tell to show what's been going on in my life.

First, I'm sure you all have seen this quilt. I entered it in our local county fair. It won best of show and then went to the Houston Stock Show. And now it's on the way to the Houston Quilt Show this November. I couldn't ...

A Walk on the Wild Side from Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. It was a beautiful day here yesterday. If you've read yesterday's post, you might remember that we were trying to decide whether to get out for a walk in the afternoon. The morning weather was foggy and chilly, and it didn't look promising. Nevertheless, we went early to do our grocery shopping. We were home and had everything put away before 10:00 a.m. 

The weather was still iffy for an enjoyable walk in the sunshine. I went to work on my slow-stitching. Leaving so early, I'd skipped it for the ...

Sewing Structures from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends, and Happy Thursday. Smitty is happy to see a lot less snow and more grass from his living room perch. Can morning sunbaths be far behind? With the time change, we've been eating dinner in daylight, and the light late in the day has been a welcome sight.


With such nice weather I got out for a walk yesterday. I decided to walk at the bottom of our hill. I'm looking forward to seeing what the farmers will plant in their fields this year.

Sew Frustrating from Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. Welcome to a new week. How bad can it be with Pi Day tomorrow? I have in mind to make a Dutch Apple Pie for Two, but I could change my mind between now and then. 

For now, I'm busying myself trying out a new recipe for Orange Rolls. They can be made two days ahead, and then baked off when you're ready. I made the rolls first thing yesterday morning...well...maybe not the first thing, but close. When they went into the refrigerator, they looked like this:


It was my day to ...
