King-sized Quilt

I finished piecing the king-sized quilt for our bed in NJ. Of course, this is just the top. It still needs to be quilted, but I'm hiring someone to do it with her long-arm. So it may be a while before it is complete.

Hawk Mountain

We all went to Hawk Mountain today.We didn't see many birds but it was a nice get-together.

At Camp

We drove to camp last Thursday and are driving back to NJ on Tuesday. We're looking forward to the Halloween progressive dinner Monday evening. Also looking forward to missing New Jersey's first snowfall happening there today. We are supposed to get a dusting here at most. Definitely good planning on our part.

Back in NJ

We're back home after good visits with relatives. We spent last night in a very nice airport motel in Portland and had a great dinner at Salty's on the Columbia River. I'm posting this so we remember it for next time.

A Houseboating Adventure - Day 6

We returned the boats this morning then drove to Moab, Utah. Again, the drive was spectacular, but we did not spend the time to take pictures. After a night in Moab we will drive to Grand Junction, fly to Denver to visit my sister, fly to Oregon to visit my parents, then home to NJ.

A Houseboating Adventure - Day 5

Today we decided we should gas up the runabout and see what the Dangling Rope Marina store had to offer.Then we went to Rainbow Bridgebefore returning to the houseboat and beautiful sunset colors on the rocks.

A Houseboating Adventure - Day 4

Another gorgeous day, including sunrise on the rocks above us. This morning we walked around above where the boat is moored.This afternoon we went out in the runabout again to explore Face Canyon and Last Chance Bay.

A Houseboating Adventure - Day 3 PM

After lunch we took the runabout and went up the canyon to explore. We went as far as we could, then climbed out of the boat and went for a walk

A Houseboating Adventure - Day 3 AM

Good weather, finally. After breakfast (and a neat shadow of the boat on the rock wall we were moored beside) we left for West Canyon to find a mooring spot for the next few days. We couldn’t find a spot with enough sand to use the anchors, so W improvised. Here is some of the surrounding scenery.

A Houseboating Adventure - Day 2

This morning the first thing we did was to move the boats across the cove to a better anchorage. Here is some of the surrounding scenery. It was still very windy but in the afternoon we took the runabout across the cove and went for a walk. Thankfully, the weather is supposed to improve over the next few days.
