HaPpY FrIdAy!

Hello my friends! It’s Friday! I have made it back out to the lake and so far so good with my back. A quick update for you all because you’ve been so sweet and concerned. I saw the spine doctor on Wednesday. He had no answers for me, but he’s going to have his assistant call the neurologists office and find out what the holdup is. That’s it. But miraculously, I woke up Wednesday morning and my back felt fine. Past experience tells me that can change in just a few minutes time, but I’m going to enjoy the reprieve why I have it. I am trying to be good and not lift very much, otherwise my husband yells at me. Just kidding. He has never yelled at me in 41 years of marriage, but he doesn’t want me to lift anything.

Today I thought I would share some photos of our lake cabin (trailer), to share with those of you who have never seen it before. I just took these pictures a few minutes ago. It is 72°F  and bright blue skies. Perfect lake weather.  The trailer itself is 29 feet long and is a 2012 Jayco Jay Flight.  This summer is our eighth summer here at the lake enjoying this beautiful trailer. It’s just like new to us.  We have it semi-permanently parked at Granite Point Resort on Loon Lake, Washington, which is about 25 miles north of our home and nestled in the mountains of northern Washington. I say semi-permanently because the sewer and water connections are put in but we can disconnect them at any time. We haven’t moved the trailer for eight years, but we’re trying to decide what we want to do in retirement. Start out with this trailer and see how much we like traveling before we buy something different? We have thought about a class A motorhome which is one the driving ones and we have also thought about a fifth wheel, which are the trailers that the front end sits in the bed of a pick up truck. Usually the bedroom is in the front part, but they are making different floorplans now. Our thought is we would start out with this trailer since it’s paid for and so is our truck.  Here are some photos for you.

Here I am sitting in my chair looking towards the front of the trailer. I have pictures of family by the TV along with some other decorative things sitting out. After all, it’s our summer home.

Standing by the television looking towards the back of the camper. Outside that window is a beautiful view of the lake.  We have a love seat that has a recliner on each end and two lazy boy recliner’s.

The dining table with a vintage tablecloth I found at an antique store several years ago. That little sliver you see clear to the right is the hallway that leads to the bathroom and bedroom.  You can see the hallway a little better in the first photo.

Our rumpled looking bed. It’s a queen size and perfect for us. I would love to get a new bedspread and prettier pillows for here, but since Chloe jumps on and off quite a bit, sometimes with not quite clean paws, I just keep this one on that’s easy to wash

Next to the bed is a small slide that contains a haniging closet, linen closet and six drawers.  There is a sliding door into the bathroom here also.  One of the things I like so much about this trailer is that it has real doors blocking off rooms, just like in a house, not just curtains. There is both a door in the hallway and the sliding door from the bedroom into the bathroom, and also a solid wood door in the hallway into our bedroom. That way Dennis can go to bed at night while I stay up a little later without the noise disturbing him.

Now I’m standing by the linen closet taking a photo into the bathroom. This door goes into the hallway, which leads to either the bedroom or the kitchen/living area

And my outside view right now from the rocking chair I’m sitting in.

I took this photo from by the gravel road looking into our space. Larry and Nita‘s trailer is on the left in this picture and ours is on the right.

Today was Pirates day at school for Miss Piper. She sent me this picture. Isn’t she the cutest little pirate you ever saw?

Well, if my back cooperates, we’re planning on spending several days out here. We will go home on Sunday for church and then back out late Sunday afternoon and I hope to stay until the middle of next week. Dennis commutes back-and-forth to work.  Since that had been the plan for this week, I know that plans can change in a moment. I am grateful for every day that I get to spend here and I have a lovely home in town too, so I’m trying not to complain.

Wishing you all a lovely weekend. 

Happy Mother’s Day to each and everyone of you!
