Floral Friday

I’ve been doing a lot of puzzles over the last month or two.  I love doing them but leaning over is hard on my back.

I am learning to step away, even as much as I am addicted, taking breaks to relieve my back.

I took a two day break last week to head down to Battle Ground, WA. to check out a trailer I saw on Craig’s List. 

It was a lovely drive along the Columbia Gorge with Mt. Hood in the background.  The weather was great, albeit a bit breezy (as it can belong the Columbia River) and I arrived at my destination in about 6 and a half hours. 

I couldn’t wait to see the trailer, so instead of going the following morning, I took a chance and went right away.  They were home and I got to see it right away.

I won’t go into details but just generally, the gentleman that had the trailer was apparently having trouble with the details on this trailer and contradicted himself many times over the week that I talked with him and when I arrived.  Three different weights, two different lengths and all the improvement just made….NOT.  So I learned a lesson.  Things are not always as they are represented.  It was disappointing but not everyone is totally honest…I guess I should know that.  Hummm.

I was staying the night in town and the only hotel had a pool and a hot tub, so I had a wonderful relaxing evening and a nice drive home.  Lessons learned….yes.  And I am ok with that.

  1. It's too bad that the trailer didn't turn out to be what you expected. At least you enjoyed some beautiful scenery.
