A Beautiful Weekend

We had a wonderful weekend out at the lake. I just came home this morning and haven’t even had a chance to read blogs yet. It seems everyone was at the resort this weekend, but it was relatively easy to keep a safe distance from people. We really only do things with Larry & Nita and Paul & Lori and we made sure to sit a safe distance apart when we were outside and no one went into anyone else’s trailers. It does seem odd not to be sharing meals while were there as we’ve done that for the past 9 years. But, we are all eating in our own trailers and not sharing any food.

I thought I would share some pictures of the trailer as I can’t remember if I did last year or not. I think I did, so please excuse me if you’ve seen this all before.

The living room. On the left is a set of recliner’s that have heat and massage in them!  The sofa makes into a queen size bed.

This fireplace will heat up the entire trailer, but we do have a furnace too. The pantry is on the right. I really enjoy having that.

The kitchen. After our last trailer that only had about 1 1/2 foot of counter space, I am really enjoying cooking in here.

The bedroom. Please excuse the chairs at the bottom of the bed. We were getting ready to go home when I took the photo and we always bring these inside so they don’t get rained on. Behind those mirrors is a huge closet with a washer and dryer inside, along with shelves and a hanging clothes bar.

It came with the TV in the bedroom and a nice dresser.

There is another closet on the opposite wall with some drawers and through the door you can see down the hall the table that I forgot to take a picture of. Please excuse the little bag of garbage by the door, as I said we were getting ready to go home!

I couldn’t get a good picture of the bathroom, but we have a nice size shower and a couple of storage cabinets in there too. I seriously could live in this trailer.

Look at this wonderful Mother’s Day card from Piper and Mandy. They drew around her hand...

And she came up with the idea of folding the paper to make it pop up. I always say this to the grandkids.  “I love you this much and I wrap it all up and put it inside you.”  And I spread my arms open wide when I say it. I love that she remembers that.

A couple of people asked me what pattern I use for my dresses so here it is. I like that it makes all sizes from size 8 to 18.   It is super easy.

A few people at our church had the idea to make up little packets and deliver these to all the mothers in the church this weekend. They had them in beautiful cellophane bags all tied up with ribbons. Wasn’t this a nice idea?

I got seven more pairs of mittens done.
And now I’m going to try to get online and read everyone’s blogs for today. Take care and stay safe out there.

Blessings,
Betsy

  8. Dear Betsy, I'm so glad you had a pretty weekend and got to spend it in your beloved caravan. It really is beautiful and well designed. Dayle picked me a bouquet of fragrant roses and they are by me, you should smell them. Good job on the mittens.. so colorful! I always think of the little children that will treasure them and keep them warm. Very kind of you. What a sweet card by Piper.. I am sure she had some help from your daughter.. :-) Stay safe and well.. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

  11. Betsy,
    You could show the pictures of your trailer as many times as you like. I love looking at them. Mandy and Piper were so creative, the card makes me smile plus I liked the packages that were given to the mothers of your church. What great ideas.
    Take care and God's blessings, my dear friend
    HUGS

  13. Wow, the trailer is indeed beautiful and well organized! I'm so glad you got to stay at the lake and relax. I have that pattern! I make the long and short versions!
    You are an amazing mitten maker! (do you have a pattern you could share for them?)

  14. You always have the best posts. I love your trailer! It's so pretty and cozy too. That would be lots of fun. I have that same dress pattern, but have never used it. Need to make myself a dress. The little card is so sweet. Aren't granddaughters special.

  16. I am glad you had a nice weekend at Loon Lake. I like your new to you trailer. I'm glad you have more counter space! Nice dress pattern. Is it a pullover dress or have a zipper in the back? I enjoy the hands card you got from Piper and Mandy! It's been raining and breezy lately. I'm tired from work...relatively busy day. Take care!

  17. I just love your trailer , I would stay there all the time in the summer. I think you all could have a picnic safely before the end of summer! Something to look forward too! :) Stay safe!

  18. That trailer is beautiful!!! It's nicer than my home! LOL! I agree with Connie...I would live there all summer...and winter too! I love the card from Pipe and your dress pattern and the mittens too! You go girl!

  19. Love the card from Miss Piper! She is a creative young lady!

    Your new trailer is lovely! After viewing the interior photos, I went back to your original post last year to see if it is a Grand Design and the model. Nice!

    Regarding the washer and dryer, you might want to reconsider selling them, since you want to retire there. Hauling laundry gets old very quickly, and it doesn't become easier with age! ;-)

    Love your maxi dresses! I'm with you--I prefer them in warm/hot weather. Different styles, same results. :-) And I am in awe of your needlework!

  23. After ranting that my blogroll lied, I now realize it has been six days since you posted this. I don't know how I missed your last three posts, but am glad I found them now!!! I am glad you had good time out at your campsite and some sweet Mother's Day remembrances. The mittens are so cheery! Dear Betsy, I am so grateful that God is Light!!! ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿงถ
