Camping in the rain

      It's vacation time for us...come rain or come shine. 
      We packed up our new RV "Wheel Estate" and headed down the road.
      
      Camping next to the Pacific ocean near Half Moon Bay, while the rain is coming down..... feels FANTASTIC!  Doesn't look much like rain in the pictures...but, it's gusting now. Think we'll blow away?
 
      As we wandered the stores on our afternoon outing, just couldn't pass up a little Christmas tree at 40% off in a darling boutique...so, the trailer is all a glow... reminding us it's still CHRISTMAS!

      My wee glass of wine in hand, Mr. RVer's got the Eagles on TV, Piper nestled close to me, the sound of rain from above..... it doesn't get much cozier than this. Unless the lights go out.  Hummmmmm 

        Most camp in the summer, not
        us....
        winter will do just fine.

WHEW..........................

We made it through another Christmas! It was hectic, but oh so fun. There was endless chaos all day from early morning till evening when all the cars departed for their  homes...and, we waved Good-bye. 
Everyone got "just what they wanted"...such happy little faces...makes my heart sing. 
Mr. Chef out did himself as usual with a dinner to die for...Beef Wellington and all the fixin's....we all pigged out...surprise, surprise!
All in all the day was a huge success..it was so worth all the extra work that everyone put forth with "love". 
We are blessed with a wonderful family, I feel so lucky! 
I was suppose to get a family photo shoot, but.....forgot.  So, here is a picture of four generations...Mom, Me, daughter Stacey and Grandaughter Arianna...it looks like they are getting taller...NOT, it's only the new boots!  
The sunrise couldn't have been more picture perfect...we lucked out, didn't we? 
I hope you and your families had the best day ever.  Now, you can sit down and rest, that's what I'm doing.  

                     Love to you all!

Christmas Altered Book

Right smack dab in the middle of cleaning and laundry, I had to stop and take some pictures.   It just kept calling me....so, I listened!

 I chose a little altered Christmas book  I made last year.    I hope you'll come back and see the other side....                      

                                                           Tis the Season

CHEERS!

                Welcome to our home for Christmas..... CHEERS!

        Wandering  around outside with camera in hand, I thought I'd share our yard decor with you. 

        The horse and carriage....the dear deers.... the Momma duck and her ducklings are all just so perfectly placed by Mr. Outside Decor Man! 

        Nut crackers that he couldn't pass up buying a few years back.  And, the new red and white lights swagging the entry...the man has a light obsession. 

        I want you to know he made the garland around the door himself, from branches off the pine tree in the yard............. I've taught him well!   Don't ya think?

        It looks like Christmas at our house.......  Thanks for stopping by! 
                                                     
                                    Please come again you are always welcome!
