Checking in with fellow bloggers this Thanksgiving morning. If you are in the US, chances are you are traveling, gathering and/or cooking up a storm! But if you are not, for whatever reason, log on to Not Afraid of Color and hostess LeeAnna to join in the listing of good things!
Mr. Busy and I traveled last Friday through Sunday to spend the holidays with our son in Northern California. We spent two nights in motels and ate from our cooler and a trip into a grocery store for salad and fresh fruit! It never ceases to amaze us the price for a bed and a shower that some motel chains charge. And the discrepancies in $$ per location! Small town Wyoming or Utah, under $100, small town California, twice that! Same motel chain!
I’m going to bore you with travel photos.
Three hours south and west of home, still in Wyoming! Muddy Gap near Independence Rock.
Saturday morning. Notice the bit of snow on the car and the low hanging clouds! Driving wasn’t bad, and although we were warned of some roll over accidents on I-80, we didn’t see any. Phew!
Looking at Great Salt Lake from a moving vehicle ! Not much to see!
I think this is part of the Wasatch Mountain range in Utah or maybe Nevada! Pretty though!
This maple leaf was as big as my hand! It’s still fall in Susanville CA! But the grass was frosty!
A pile of crunchy fall leaves!
Fire damage and clearing in the Lassen National Forest!
Our first site of snow on the mountains in CA. I think this is the south side of Mt Shasta!
Mount Shasta from our son’s deck. He’s north of Mt Shasta, so this is looking south! Lucky guy to wake up to this every morning!
Do you remember the Cat Couch Topper I made! It’s already in use!
I may be MIA in the next several weeks. But if I find something to share I will post to I LIKE Thursday.
Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy
Hi Judy!!! Thanks so much for sharing the travel photos. It's almost like being in the car with you. LOVELY views. Even the fire damage shows some promise - more green evergreens in the forefront and background than I would have expected. They will grow back stronger than ever, I hope. The Cat Cough Topper looks fab and already well loved! Happy Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Such different landscapes than in the north east. That kitty is saying: MY quilt. :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving, Judy! Glad you had a good trip - and beautiful wide open views, too. Does your son live near Susanville? My brother and family lived there some years ago. We never visited at the time, but we sure were watching when the fire was so bad last summer. It will renew over time, but still hard to see. Hope you're having a lovely day!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a safe trip and what lovely photos. Mt. Shasta makes my heart sing. So close to my homeland. :D Hope you had a very Happy Thanksgiving.
