Road Trip Crochet - Lap Blanket

 Good morning,

Of course, I bring a crochet or knit project along when we have a road trip.  

This is a lap blanket that will be useful for people of all ages.  I love blues, so that makes it even more enjoyable to make.  

The stitch is one that I can do while watching the scenery go by.

All the best,

Lois

Rolling Hills of the Blue Grass State

 Good morning,

As we continue our journey, we are traveling through the rolling hills of Kentucky, the Blue Grass State.

 As we rolled along, I took these two images just a couple of seconds apart.  

We were blessed with gorgeous weather on our journey to the Port of Canveral.  Tonight, though we will be in Columbia, SC.

Tune in tomorrow!

All the best,

Lois

Happy Mother's Day!

 Good morning, 

Happy Mother's Day to all Mothers!

The weather is beautiful in Northern Kentucky and traffic isn't too heavy.

 For years we drove these roads to and from ports for Kjell to go back to work on ships.  Now that we are retired, we are driving the same route to Port Canaveral for a cruise to celebrate our anniversary.

This is fun!  It's just like old times except for the work part.  ;) 

More to come....

Crossing the Mighty Ohio River

 Good morning,

Here we are crossing the Mighty Ohio River from Ohio to Kentucky.  

That round building on the left of the bridge is a hotel with a revolving restaurant on the top.  It has been there for at least fifty years.  It provides beautiful views of the Cincinnati skyline as you enjoy your dinner.

This is the I-75 Brent Spence Bridge that has been the subject of much conversation in congress.  Presidents have managed to stand below with it in the background as they have promised to replace it.  I get a kick out of it being a "shovel ready project" that never got done - or even started for that matter.

Oh, well, as long as it is safe....

We are moving on with our road trip!  

Watch this space tomorrow for the next edition!

Here We Go Again!

 Good morning,

We are on the road again!

We're on our way to Port Canaveral, Florida, to board Mariner of the Seas to celebrate our 25th Anniversary.

I hope you'll enjoy traveling with us for the next few posts.  

Come along!

Purple Iris

 Good morning,

Our Purple Iris are some of our favorite flowers.

 Years ago I planted quite a few different colors of iris, but these are the old faithful that have returned year after year.  I'm not able to do much gardening anymore, but I sure do enjoy the flowers I planted yars ago that keep returning.

Happy Spring!

Lois

Here Come the Lilies!

 Good morning,

We have two flower pots of lilies on our front porch.  I planted these several years ago and am delighted that they return to provide beautiful flowers every single year.  I don't do anything except enjoy them.

Thank you, Mother Nature.
