So sorry.. but a...What a shock that must have been! So sorry.. but as you know.. one door closes.. another opens up. I hope you will be able to "relocate" to somewhere close by. The new owners probably new people who wanted to be in your position, and that's why they let you go. I had that happen in a job once... great boss.. I was doing great, etc. but someone came along who had worked for him before, who needed a job.. so I got replaced! Very shocking indeed. Keep us advised as to where you end up!

When I lived up by Vancouver, WA, I would go down to the Columbia for many years, to watch the Christmas boats go up the river towards The Dalles. It's always just stunning to see them all! Take care...

Love the views of the water and the big ships. Sounds like you've been very busy. I must say I even miss the fog and rain! Am curious as to where you go next. Maybe you'll head south again, to warmer climes. I do love the Washington coast.. it is so rough and rugged in places... and Sequim... what an amazing place in that it gets so little rain. Take care and thank you for the updates!

You guys are awesome! Your sunset views are gorgeous! How fun would it be to stay in one of those little cabins for a week or so.. of just silence, and the waves lapping, etc. COOL would be much welcomed right now as it's 103 today in Madras! And it's been so so DRY here.. not a speck of rain for over 2 months and we sure could use it.. nights aren't cooling down either. Right now I yearn for the coastal weather!

My 'Crafting on wheels' post ...Hi Marilyn,<br /><br />My 'Crafting on wheels' post will come after I get the post I've been wanting to write...all about the building David has been involved with here. <br /><br />Yes, I could help with some of the projects....but they had more than enough help and most of the wives don't work with the men...in fact none of them have these last two jobs. But,,they have mission projects that they work on down at the 'green' house. It just happens to be right across from where I am parked. Sadly, I don't own a sewing machine anymore and really haven't sewn for the past 11-12 years. So I don't help with that, either. But there are some job sites where the women help, as well.Charhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14048819689974887261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8710868590685034058.post-74096357439395551802018-03-22T19:19:16.376-07:002018-03-22T19:19:16.376-07:00Sounds like you are having a really interesting ti...Sounds like you are having a really interesting time! Will be anxious to see your "crafting on wheels" post! My friends have a very large RV like yours.. and I know I could live in it full-time.. for sure. So much room in it, king bed and room to have a craft table and to store some tubs. She doesn't craft at all unfortunately. Do you help with the building projects or in other ways? Just curious.... and I bet it's getting hot there already! You're not missing much here in Madras/Redmond... lots of gray and clouds and sprinkles and not much sunshine! It'll come though.. and all to soon I'll be wishing for cooler weather, so I'm enjoying this.. and don't have to do any yardwork yet either! Take care....

Yes you should do a post about crafting in an RV. We got a little camper, just tiny, for the top of our small pickup.. is over the cab and has a nice biggish table area, so if/when we go camping with it, I'll be able to take a small tub of my supplies. Can't go anywhere without my craft supplies, a little bit of paper, some cards, etc. I found a SU demonstrator in Crooked River Ranch, Gina Anderson, and have gone to one of her classes. Is so far away though. When you come back, where will you be "stationed"???

I was wondering if you were still crafting and following my blog. It's good to know who is out there :-) <br />I did get rid of a LOT of my supplies....but still am a SU demonstrator and kept as much as I could stuff in my little RV craft room. I bought myself a craft table to use in the RV. I'll have to post about crafting in a RV on the road :-)<br />We plan on being back in the area this spring/summer.
