What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. I'm happy to say we're home at the Three Cats Ranch this morning. We'd planned to spend the night in Grass Valley, Oregon. As I told my friends on Facebook, we arrived at the RV park at 2:00 p.m. The place was run-down and scary looking...as if it might be the lair of a serial killer. We'd both been thinking silently that we should just head for home. When we saw the RV park, it made the decision to continue on home an easy one.

Good morning, my friends. We find ourselves in Klamath Falls, Oregon, this morning. And YAY! We're not home yet, but at least we're in our home state. And forget everything I said yesterday. We had to spend a couple of hours yesterday morning rerouting ourselves when we heard there was a winter weather advisory for the Cascades and the Siskiyous. It will be hazardous trying to get across the mountain passes with that kind of weather, and so we've rerouted ourselves to head north to the Columbia Gorge and then head west toward home from there.

Good morning, my friends. We’re in a death march toward home, although with our new rule about driving shorter distances, it doesn’t feel as much like a death march. It’s more like a pleasant trot. We’ll head to Reno, Nevada, for today’s drive. There’s no particular reason for stopping in Reno, but it was a good amount of travel for a single day. It probably seems as if ending our day in Nevada would have us traveling in the wrong direction, but it makes sense when you realize that Nevada and Oregon share a ...

Good afternoon, my friends. As you can see from the title of this post, we've moved on from Death Valley. We left a day earlier than we'd planned. It was too darned hot there, and without electricity, we couldn't run our air-conditioner. We enjoyed seeing the wildflowers, and that was our reason for going. Having seen them, we decided to move along. We're heading for home now, taking four nights to get there. 

So, let's talk about our last day in Death Valley, shall we? We left our campsite and drove the short distance to ...

Good morning, my friends. We're at our last stop for this trip before we head for home. We expect to be home a week from yesterday. For now, we're enjoying this beautiful and colorful landscape inside the largest national park in the contiguous United States (the "lower 48" states), covering over 3.4 million acres (roughly 5,270 square miles) across California and Nevada. It is not the largest in the entire U.S. (Wrangell-St. Elias in Alaska is), but it is the hottest, driest, and lowest. (I've linked to my post from our visit to Wrangell-St ...

Good morning, my friends. It was another quiet day here. My day started as it usually does...with slow-stitching. I took the first stitches on Block 7 for the Snowmen & Reindeer project.

Good morning, my friends. It was another lazy day here at the Traveling Three Cats Ranch. I spent some more time on my embroidery, filling in most of my hoop.

This prickly pear cactus almost looks fake, but it is real.

Good morning, my friends. For as many times as we've been to Death Valley, I didn't think there were any more surprises there for us. Yesterday, we visited Dublin Gulch, which isn't technically inside Death Valley. Instead, it's in the tiny town of Shoshone, California just to the south of the park. What an interesting place! As usual, I took too many pictures. I'll tell you what I know about it, but if you're interested, you can read more about it and see more pictures right here.

Good morning, my friends. The weather is still chilly here in Pahrump, but things are looking up. Each day grows warmer in the coming week. We were treated to a pretty sunset yesterday evening. Of course, the sun sets in the west, but to the east, it lights up the hills behind us.

The kitties are still optimistic they'll get the morning sunshine on their window hammocks one of these days. They spent their morning like this:
