Arcata or BUST!

I just got back last week from a road trip with my mom to Northern California. It was awesome, the weather was rainy, I got sicker, I got drugs, then I got better, then we got home. Here are some pictures from the event.



First we stopped in Bend, Oregon to visit Tanley and Jed. Tara came up from southern Oregon for the weekend too. The weather was beautiful. We walked around downtown, did a little shopping, stopped in at a fun little tea house, and went to McMinnamin's soaking pool.



From Bend we booked it down to Arcata where my mum's cousin lives. It was drizzly the whole time we were down there, but we were chillin inside most of the time so it didn't really matter. Personally, as long as it's not snowing I'm okay with the percipitation!

Here's some pictures of the flowers that had just popped out:









We did make it out one day and went to a restaraunt in Trinidad. Here's the pier right out the front door of the eatery.

What the heck am I talking about?

Well, this is for you Miranda...

I know for a fact, that the majority of you who are reading my blog don't know where I live or what form of home I'm living in. I have been bouncing from apartment to Airstream trailer to house and back again for years and years... Currently, I am renting a single-wide trailer, it used to be my Grandpa Dwight's abode. He passed away a year ago and now it is owned by my Uncle Dwayne who lives in Virginia. I hope someday he lets me buy it from him... It's right next to my parent's property, about three miles north of Viola out in the country (and fields). I love living next to my parents, I love that it has tons of childhood memories, and I love all the trees and the little creek (even though it dries up halfway through the summer).

Here's a little picture to feast your eyes on...



Miranda, I am still taking very good care of the little Airstream. (For those of you who don't know, I purchased the Airstream form Miranda about four years ago.) She, the Sweet Pea Pod (as dubbed by me) is transforming into an espresso stand. My new business someday will be called Dilly Dally Espresso. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but not holding my breath, that I'll have it up and running by this next winter. I'll be posting pictures of her transformation as it happens over the summer. Wish me luck!



So tell me Miranda... What do I do about being tagged? I know I read about it in your blog, but don't remember where or what it said about it! Help a girl out.

Still working on the bathroom...

I have come home to a dreary little town and dreary weather...




The crud got me. I've been sick since the third day of being home. It's soooo tiring. I should be all better in no time, since I don't have the time or energy to continue being sick after Friday.

It has also really been hampering the progress on my bathroom... well besides the weather also. Here are some things I've picked up to install in the new and improved bathroom:


Accent tile...


Fancy big new window...


Cast iron tub...

Here is my little nephew enjoying a banana at my bithday dinner. The rest of us had kabobs to eat.





I went on a shopping spree at Goodwill for my birthday... and I found this cute little rose bud creamer! Do I use cream? No. But I had to have it anyway. Maybe I will start using cream now, you never know.

This may look like it's not all that steep of a hill, and it's not... but my silly little pickup refuses to make it up to the top of my driveway after the last snow... When will it be spring???
