Spring Break! & a Happy Easter to you ALL!

It's Easter Sunday...Happy Easter! We are on Spring Break now and headed to the beautiful South Lake Tahoe, CA for 4 nights in a cabin. I'm imagining that the lake looks somewhat like the picture above. We only live a little over an hour from Tahoe and we've been getting lots of snow the past week. (well not here in "middle of nowhere Fallon, NV"...but in the mountains) So there may be lots more snow, or a little less at lake level...we'll see when we get there!

So no sewing until the weekend for me. But I did finish my "scruffily" quilt and now I'm working on hand sewing the binding to the back. I'll be taking that with me to work on while cuddled under it in front of the fireplace! (snow, fires in the fireplaces, bundled...seems weird for a spring break! But that's ok, we'll be beach side in June at our new residence!)

I'll have my camera and my computer with me so maybe I'll get a post or two on here while I'm gone! (and give you a little peak into my family!)

Oh and those who were wondering what happened to the fallen aviator...he wasn't found and here's an article.
 My husband, I think, said it best, "What is a hero? A hero runs into a burning building, as others run out, to help those that need it. A hero holds his position, while taking fire, to make sure his brothers get to safety. A hero keeps his hands on the controls, while eating his shit sandwich, so others can get out safely. Thanks Brother..."

Heading to SF!

 We are leaving today to stay in San Francisco for the weekend. My eldest daughter's 6th Birthday is on Valentine's Day. Hubby and daughter don't have school or work on Monday so we are going to enjoy a long weekend there. I'm so excited! I grew up in the Bay Area, so as a child my family would go to SF probably once a month! It's been about 10-15 years since I've been back.
 
Here's where we're staying... The Omni Hotel in Union Square.
And here's a few things I hope to do while there....


Fisherman's Wharf
 
Pier 39 & the Aquarium
 
and my FAVORITE place to eat in SF...Scoma's

and of course....topping everything off with a GIANT Hot Fudge Sundae from Ghirardelli's!

Can you tell I'm excited!
