After all that was done, I cut Dennis‘s hair and made ham and cheese omelettes for dinner. Sometimes we like breakfast for dinner. Do any of you do that too?
Here you can see Larry and Nita‘s trailer on the far left, the gazebo with no cover on it and the chairs all gone in the middle, then our trailer and the golf cart and then Paul and Lori‘s trailer. Oh, that’s Dennis’ pride and joy sitting front and center. Men and their trucks! We have taken six trips back-and-forth, filling up the back of the truck with the cushions, grill, lawnmower, etc. We store it all in our shed over the winter.
Everything always looks so sad when we get it all packed up for the year. We’re already looking forward to next spring and spending the summer in our new trailer. Here you can see Larry, Lori and Nita hanging out while Paul and Dennis finish up winterizing the golf cart. That’s sweet little Maddie laying there on the grass.
I did finish four more pair of mittens and plan to deliver them in a week or two.
Then we made our way into Utah and more barren landscape for awhile.
However, we saw lots of hints of fall as we drove through Utah and Idaho. Lots of color already!
It was a beautiful, although stressful, drive home.
I have been spending part of every weekday since we returned with Jenny and I will be on my way there in about an hour again today. She isn’t supposed to be alone for the first two weeks out of the hospital. The doctor worries about falling after hip replacement, and wants to make sure someone is there with her at all times. It’s certainly not a hardship for me. We never run out of things to talk about. Saturday after returning home from the lake, I made homemade chicken and noodles, homemade biscuits, fresh green beans with bacon and cranberry sauce and Dennis and I took it over to Neal and Jenny’s house and had dinner with them. Yum! It really hit the spot. Another friend had made a big pan of apple crisp for them so we also picked up some vanilla ice cream and that was our dessert.
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and if you’re down south, you have some relief from the extreme heat. It’s still pretty chilly up here in the northwest. Happy Monday everyone!
Saturday was spent closing up and winterizing Larry and Nita and Paul and Lori‘s trailers. We had done ours before we left for Omaha. We found that our sprinkler control box had cracked in the severe cold last week. Dennis has ordered another one to be ready for next spring. Paul and Lori‘s water heater froze and leaked water all over their trailer. No one ever would have expected it to get so cold and snow in September! It has never happened before as long as they’ve been keeping records in Spokane. Here is what our cozy lake place looks like now.
This is our trailer.

My crafting will be in secret for a little while because I’m working on Christmas things. I know at least some of my family reads this blog so I can’t post photos of my projects.
Here are a couple more photos of our trip home last week. I caught this rainbow in the far west of Wyoming. I couldn’t get a photo of the entire arch but here are both ends. Isn’t it gorgeous? It stretched from one end of the horizon to the other right in front of us. The highway ran directly under the arch of the rainbow.
