Oh what a fun filled day we had yesterday on the deck. The spring sun is so warm and penetrating. I went out in jeans, shirt and tennies. Well that lasted only a short while and I was back in the house slipping into crop pants and flip flops. My legs would have blinded us if we were not wearing sun glasses!
The deep blue sky was ringed with white bright summer clouds. But later in the day those clouds scudded off to somewhere else leaving behind only the blue.
We spent the entire afternoon on the deck letting our winter skin pick up some color.
After the sun dropped out of sight we came in and played card games. I lost every one. Five dollars of my hard earned winnings went into my hubbies money bag. Well to be honest my bag is full to the brim and so heavy with quarters as opposed to my husband puny lightweight bag. So I will say I could not have lost to a more worthy opponent.
We did not make dinner our mexican fare keeping our tummies content.
We walked out on the deck after the card games and the sky was black velvet with sparkling diamonds scattered about. The moon was about a third full and was so bright you could not look at it for long. All looked so mystical and surreal.
We looked at each other and both said at the same time, hot tub? So off for our spa duds and back out to enjoy the very hot water under heaven's roof.
Well after we came in I did not make it long before falling asleep. I drifted off on the sofa watching something on PBS woke and in a trance wandered off to bed.
My son wrote late last night on email. The power window in his pickup stuck in the totally down position. So Mike took the door off and apart trying to fix it. He could not. He had to go to Sisters this morning a visit with his father for the weekend. So he said he hoped for no rain as he would get sopped. So I surely hope it all works out for him. Maybe he will get it fixed over there before heading home.
If the weather is decent mid week this coming week we are going to Florence for three nights. At this point it looks good Tuesday through Thursday. Of course we are taking our little munchkin trailer. We will spend the first afternoon and evening in the Three Rivers Casino parking lot. We have stayed there before in our motor homes. It is quiet and not bad at all on one side you are bordered by the sand dunes. The next two nights we will spend at the KOA by the beach. It is a two block walk. The campground is nice and the spaces are very private each spot enclosed by high shrubs and evergreen trees. Picnic tables, fire pit and grass lawn make it nice for being outdoors. The plus is if it is windy you are protected in that campground. And you know the coast sometimes when it is sunny the wind is perfect for kite flying!
So we are hoping this will work out.
We also decided when we go to my brothers we are going to meet up with him at Silver Lake where he has his large travel trailer permanently set up. We will get our own space, hubby has his favorites spots with views of the lake. So we are hoping for April weather permitting.
Then in May over my birthday we would like to go Seven Feathers in Canyonville. The RV park there is one of the best we have ever stayed in with outstanding views and always so warm in the canyon there. A summer fix in spring that is why we like to go that time of year. So we have a few things lined for fun when their are pauses in the work schedule and the weathers blesses us.
Well in my kitchen tonight we are making fried chicken wings, with ranch dip and buffalo sauce. Accompanying those little tasties I am making a coleslaw out of savory cabbage and also we will have fries. So a nice little weekend meal that my husband will love.
I am going to go now and try to do something constructive. I had too much fun yesterday and so today I am feeling a little tired.
Later.
