A Visit And Another Project

Stephen, me and Phillip

One of the very best things about living the RV life is meeting new people along the way. We have made so many friends along the way, we have lost count. It is always so nice to see them again, even if just for a few minutes. When I heard they were coming to pick up the RVQ Grill they won in my auction, I was so excited you would have thought the Pope was coming!

We met Stephen and Phillip last year when we were here at Payne Lake. They live on Dauphin Island down by Mobile, Alabama. They have an RV and go camping whenever they can. Stephen said they went to the Grand Canyon over the summer, but since they only went to the south rim, I had to tell them they missed the best side! Sadly, they were only able to stay for about an hour, then be on their way back to the island.

My new messenger bag

Today I spent some time sewing, this time it’s a messenger bag. I put some padding in it, so I canĀ  use it for a laptop bag. It’s big enough for the laptop, my mouse, the power cord, and some pens and paper. There’s a zippered pocket on the outside underneath the flap, which wasn’t on the pattern but I am in love with those zipper pockets since I learned how to do them.

I haven’t finished this yet, I still need to make the lining. I’ll do that tomorrow, and it will be done in time for our trip to Georgia on Saturday. And just look at this, with the cutie cute travel trailer embroidered patch!

    Nice bag. I do really like the patch. I’ll have to keep watch for a 5er patch.

    Always nice when people come to visit. As travelers, we usually have to go to them. Can’t quite understand that when we usually live in the most beautiful of places. But some folks just don’t travel.

    Hi –

    I’ve been following your blog for several months or so and have read all of your gluten free posts as my partner recently found out she needs to live a gluten free lifestyle. I was curious what your recipe is for the gluten free pie crust was.

    Thanks – hope to meet you on the road someday!

    Kari
