We are still in Beyond

We are three days into our week's stay at the Cannon Beach RV Resort. Even though spring break is over for Oregon, this park is full this weekend.

Ken drove to Steilacoom on Thursday and will return this afternoon. He had a couple of things to take care of and is going to help load the truck for Colleen's move to Seattle. I think Craig and a friend are also helping on the Steilacoom end, and she has Curt, Cinda, Linea, and one or two others at the other end. I helped with two Arizona moves, so I'm not feeling too guilty.

I jut realized I had not talked about Collen's move. She has been looking for months for something in Seattle that was 1) affordable, 2) close to her office, and 3) would let Skyla move in. Colleen was on her way to work when the landlady/owner was putting up the for-rent sign!!!! And as she and Colleen were talking, a second interested party appeared. So that tells you how difficult housing is.

With an introduction of Skyla and the owner that went swimmingly, the apartment was hers. Not only is it affordable, it is almost the equivalent of a three-bedroom since the second bedroom boasts a large alcove. And it is a two-minute walk to her office. Now I can go play in Seattle and have a place to land if I decide to stay in the city.

So Cooper and I have been out of control with our eating, sleeping, and daytime activities. I didn't even get out of my sweat pants yesterday and my meals consisted of scrambled eggs, jicama, a hot dog and one stale gingersnap. It has been pretty rainy so he and I venture out for his walks and then huddle back inside. I must clean up my act this afternoon.

But I have been sewing my little heart out. This is a paper pieced quilt top with about a million little pieces, so the progress is hard to see at times, but it is fun. Once Ken gets home to babysit, i can visit the local quilt shop!

We will probably move up to Ft. Stevens Park on Wednesday where Rod and Karen will join us for a few days. It is a typical Northwest state park with lots of trees and big sites, and I suspect it will be pretty quiet next week with everyone back in school.


On that happy note, I'll sign off for now. Ciao
