I will keep your church in mind, for certain. And if you care to share - I would like to know where you stayed. All in time before the Thxgiving USA travel rush. I'm surprised you didn't fly out of BLI just over the border - but YVR is nice too.<br /><br />... and yes, you are right - 2 wks to get ready and 1 day at the least to rest at home after all that rushing around and travel anxiety ; )<br /><br />PS - what are you baking now? we visit away for Christmas so I got out my little box of décor today to sort it out --- some very cute handknit tiny sox *my mum made them - and mini lights we put on some twiggy branches in a vintage "silver" hotel ice bucket filled with a heavy rock and some "oasis" wet floral foam.<br /><br />thank you take care on this chilly windy day here at the coast.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134113.post-64594074104535590702014-11-20T04:32:40.248-08:002014-11-20T04:32:40.248-08:00Palm Springs has been on our bucket list.

It also takes a lot of prep time for us to travel and unwind upon returning home. Such a quaint church.

Hope you can get adjusted back to normal life! Time to get organized for the holidays, isn't it?! Of course we have Thanksgiving first -- all of Michael's family are coming which is a first and we are very excited to have them! It will be a crowd of about 27 or so! I'm hard at work on my lists and prep. :) Rachel is LOVING high school (today is the Physics Class egg launch :) ) and the rest of us are plodding along with homeschool.

I'm smiling here as I think back on our trip to Nuevo...and the cozy restaurant we found on the mountaintop after the service...and the one book that got a 'little wet' in the lazy river...and all the 'single axle' trucks on the roads in Palm Springs...and playing Rook at every opportunity...and laughing a lot. Oh...and eating a lot. Good times.

I have never quite mastered that without frenzy! Your vacation with Elmer and Judy sounds just wonderful and so nice that you could meet up with Kathy and Scot too. The lazy river is perfect! You sure did well at the Rook game Lovella!! We love that game too and it was a favourite when I was growing up. Wish we could have been there to play a 6 handed game with you. Palm Springs needs to go on our bucket list!Rosellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14615262714438296920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134113.post-61156643288066209502014-11-13T04:47:02.777-08:002014-11-13T04:47:02.777-08:00What a lovely vacation!
