Great Visit from Friends

I can't believe that I didn't use my camera this last week.
Dumb, Dumb, DUMB!!! I don't have a picture of our friends or the fish and places we visited. I should have my brain checked!

Bob and Patty Custer drove our truck and camper up from Las Vegas so I didn't have to. That allowed Paul and I to drive together. They spent 4 days here in Homer and we showed them as much as we could jam in to such a short time.

I had back spasms on Thursday but Paul took them fishing anyway. Bob caught some gray cod and Patty caught 2 really nice Halibut. One was about 30 pounds and the other was about 40 pounds. She squealed and hollered for a few minutes and then called her family around midnight to brag! I guess they weren't very impressed at that hour, lol.

We showed them the view from Skyline and they did some exploring on the Spit and Frontier. We took them out to our lots near Fritz Creek and dinner at Fat Olives (yummy calzone and stromboli). We also took them to Pier One Theater and saw "That Darn Plot". We all enjoyed that!

The time was WAY too short because I kept saying You'll have to come back to see this or that. We drove them to Seward to catch the cruise ship for their trip home to Seattle (actually Vashon Island) Washington. We hated to see them go, we really enjoyed their visit. We hope they come back next year!

Home 1 & 1/2 Weeks, whew.

Boy is there a lot to do when you move from one home (motor home) to another (the house). I bet we moved two dozen boxes from the motor home to the house and most of them are still full. It took until Saturday (10 days) to get the motor home emptied, cleaned and moved out to the property with the gravel pad. I'm encouraged because the house looks better without that in the driveway. I wish I had a picture to share because the motor home is almost as big as the house. It is as long as the entire driveway and half as wide. We barely got the little trailer and RAV 4 in the other half of the driveway. Now you can see my blooming flowers,

Ta-Da!!!

For the first 3 days at home I was sick with a chest cold and upset tummy but I'm much better now. Now I'm just sick of unpacking boxes, lol.

I have spent a little time knitting, enough to finish the shrug. It measured exactly 62 inches when done (which is what it was supposed to measure). It was dirty (white yarn) so I put it in cool water and cleaned it. Unfortunately it relaxed to a whopping 74 inches. I'm going to unravel the sleeves and replace the cuffs. Oh well, it's only time, ha, ha.

I did plant some vegetables and flowers. I bought some squash, broccoli, swiss chard and tomatoes. I found some hanging baskets too with my favorite color of pansies. I also potted some pansies and petunias in several hanging baskets and planter pots. My house has COLOR this spring, Hooray!!!
