I sure am missing my familia right now and can’t wait until April when we are home for a visit!

The girls and Dave are my traveling family, my kids and brother are my immediate family and everyone else is my family through marriage. We are all close though, which I’m missing right now. They are busy with their own lives but stay in touch through texts, calls, and FaceTime.

On a different subject for a moment, we were talking the other day about my crochet project, the shawl with pockets. Here’s a picture of the way it looks when finished. (Not me in the picture 🤣)

It looks like a sweater, but it’s just a shawl with handy pockets! I have a little further to go- I figure I’ll stop when it reaches my knees- then you fold up the bottom of each end and sew the sides to make the pockets, adding a button if desired. That’s it!

Today we attended the hops and grapes function at the activity center. It was a fun get together where we met some more people, tasted some wine and light snacks and the guys had their beer to taste as well. The people here are all so nice and welcoming! They were also holding some kind of auction we weren’t involved with, so we stayed til that started and went back to the rig. At least the dogs are always excited to see us! 😂
