Title: Summer/Annual Vacation/Holiday Doings....?
Post by: Danny on July 07, 2011, 03:43:18 pm
I know this isn't Scrollsaw yacking, but at least if you leave for vacation etc. you not making sawdust.  LOL  Just thot it would be interesting to let each other know the PLANS for doing something different or other than the daily normal.  LOL  Ok I'll start....  My wife and I save, save and save some more just so we can have enough monies to just take off and get away for a few days.  Our normal is to go to Tunica, Mississippi.  Has 9 Casinos.  Yepper we do enjoy taking a chance.  Normally we come back with most of what we took.
Anyway....  Danny  :+}

Since I am currently unemployed, I guess I'm having a home-vacation.

Going to do a tour in Sweden this summer, staying in log cabins in S?fsen, Orsa and Idre.
will drive between 2000 and 2500 miles.
next to that going two weeks to mobile home on a camping in Holland.
close to home, so maybe I'll go home a now and then for a couple of hours of scrolling.
(depending on the weather)

so 4 weeks no work  ;D, no scrolling :(.

will send some pictures when I'm back.

     I'm retired, so everyday is a vacation - how ever, I have a scroll saw in my truck with a pull along camper (Hi-Lo) and my wife loves to go any where, as long as it's heading North of Florida. I have always taken things I scrolled - parts and pieces to make things. People always love to see things being made and I love talking to them. I hope I get people started in scrolling. Durning down times I make things - all sorts of things. I have to stay busy or I go "Nuts" ! I can only take so much TV or movies. People always come over to see what I am doing and as you see I am a talking NUT. I made myself a small sign, On one side it says "Wood N Stuff'" and on the other side it says "Designer Firewood" - it gets peoples interest and they stop by and question.

We are headed out to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island in August.  Looking forward to visiting a new to me place.  I see we have some scrollers on this site from that area.

My wife & I spent a long weekend in Savannah, Ga. a short while back.  Last week we took the week off and had our 2 youngest grandkids up for their first visit without parents.  This weekend we met their Dad and the 2 older kids at Myakka River State Park near Sarasota and stayed in a palm log cabin built in the 30's, went Kayaking, and exploring the woods. Great time!

Just getting back from my vacation.  Went to Melbourne FLA - Daughter's wedding and chance to meet his family.  Now back to work and catching up on all the new items here in the community. Stay away for a couple weeks and you have a lot of catching up to do.

Took my 12 yo daughter to Forks, WA yesterday.  Forks is where they filmed the Twilight movies.  I could care less about the movie, but the sights along the way were simply beautiful.  One lake we saw is 600 ft deep.

End of August going to a four day Square dance festival in Washington State.  From there going to Gillette Wy for a week long RV Rally.  When that is complete going to Yellowstone for a week.  Then the Grand Tetons for a few days and back thru Idaho to home.  After we get home will sell the house to pay the gas bill  LOL.  BTW.  All this in our Motorhome.

If you are a square dancer then you are a better man than I!

Not only is it hard work it is taxing on the brain!

God Bless and keep you and I wish I were snuggled in a corner of your motor home!
