Mt Baker, WA






This is absolutely one of the most beautiful areas in Washington State. Yesterday we visited Nooksack Waterfall. I'm posting photos. The views are spectacular. There are remnants of giant trees cut down sometime around the turn of the century.

From Nooksack we drove to the top of Mt Baker (photos of snow covered top) to a place called 'Artist's Point'. There simply are no words for the grandeur of this area. My son and husband are avid sportsmen...so, they decided to ride their bikes!!! I am posting photos so you can see how much they enjoyed their 22 mile ride. I was white knuckled all the way, especially since my husband failed to wear his helmet (sometimers, he says). Had to photograph his hair that was standing straight up after a few miles of the wind blowing through it.

All in all it was a wonderful day. Wish you all could be here. We head home tomorrow.

Home Sweet Home...




A while back, Jo (Majority of Two) wrote that she was interested in motorhomes. I was tempted, but perhaps too embarrassed to respond. Following my recent days of learning that it is we who create our 'home' and not the home that creates us, I am now ready to confess.

I have always been a person who put roots down deep. This began early during my growing up years in Iowa. While I enjoyed traveling, I always loved coming 'home'. Well, our lives have changed during the past few years and we now find ourselves living full-time in an RV! In the beginning I didn't want to tell anyone that our home on wheels was our 'home' period. My husband was more comfortable with the situation and willingly told new friends that we were 'homeless'. It's been a year and a half now, so I guess it's time to accept our situation. We live full-time in an RV and are blessed.

We have met so many wonderful people who are living life in their RV's as well. The American Spirit is alive and well and, yes, some of us are living in recreational vehicles!
