Going Home

All good things must come to an end and it is about time I go home. I have the car loaded and I must say good bye to my daughter and hit the road. It was a fun stay with her and she made everything so nice for me... 

We sewed our hearts out together, getting ready for Farm Chicks...

We made jewelry...

We Shopped...

We ate and drank...

And worked our bottoms off...

 Thank you sweetheart! I love you.

... and a final goodbye to Cash

And now I am driving to Minnesota to see my two daughters Sarah, Nicole, 3 grand-daughters Sophie, Maddie, Savannah, my mom and my sister who is visiting from Az. I am taking the northern route through Idaho, Montana, N Dakota and into Minnesota. I have 6 passes to go through over the mountains. 

The Yellowstone River was swollen as most of the lakes and rivers I went over.

I stayed in Butte Montana the first night and then drove 17 hours straight through to Minnesota.

Sarah and Savannah, my sweethearts.

Sweet Madeline my youngest grand baby

Nicole, Sophie and Savannah... my Sweeties

Sophie

Savannah and Sophie, they are cousins but they think they are sisters.

I had fun with the girls and it was good to see them, I wish I could see them more. They just turned 5 and will be starting school this year, hard to believe. Maddie just had her second birthday.

I stayed a couple of days with Nicole and Sarah and then headed to my mom's to stay for a couple of days.

I had a great visit with my sister and my mom. We just hung out the first day and caught up on everything. Mom made a great pork chop dinner, nobody cooks like mother!

The next day we took a drive up north to Milacs Lake and went to visit my sisters, mother in law and we all went out for lunch.

That was great fun but after almost a month of being away I need to get home. My husband is so supportive and bless his heart does fine without me but this is a long time to be gone. I also need to get ready for Tipton. July is coming fast and I need to be ready for the
 Horton French Flea Market.

It will be nice to be home and visit with you also. I will try and get around blogland this week, I have missed all of you.


I will be linking to my friend Debra at Common Ground for her Friday Inspiration party.

Life After Farm Chicks

Hello

It took us about 4 hours to pack the trailer up and say good bye to all our Farm Chick friends and head out towards Vancouver. It was already 8:30 in the evening and we were both spent so we decided to drive as far as we could and then get a motel.

I am glad we did because the next day was glorious and the drive along the Columbia Gorge was breath taking.

We stopped at the Maryhill Winery in Washington, it was so beautiful.

And a little windy

Stayed for a little wine tasting... it was all delicious

This is the flight we tried... my favorite was the syrah but they were all good

And did a little shopping...

Stopped and watched the wind surfers... amazing

All in all I would say it was a good day. We had a relaxing drive back home, it was a beautiful day and it was just good to be with my daughter.
We unpacked the trailer and I repacked the suv and I will be heading to Mn for a little visit with my mom, sister and two other daughters not to mention 3 little girls there that I miss.
These three weeks have flown by and I had such a great time with my daughter. We are like the Bickerson's sometimes and I probably bug her just as she bugs me now and then but we are very much alike so that explains our dynamics. The main thing is we love each other and have fun together. 
 I just want to say, thank you Sweetheart for a wonderful 3 weeks... and we are still alive!
Ha...
Blessings today!
