A Women's RV Forum run by Women RVer's!

Well we are pretty much settled in at home. Sure is different weather than we've been used to. Been raining every other day, today is sunshine and by Monday there is a threat of snow!
Alfie is all cleaned up and parked and loaded with dryer sheets, electronic mouse repellers and mouse bait. Sure hope something works as I don't want to have to go through that again. We have two more states to add to our map but haven't yet as we put the slide in before remembering.

One of the first things we did when we got home was unpack the set of dishes we bought in Hidalgo. They ALL made it home okay, not even one crack or chip. It is a set for 6 with all kinds of serving pieces. We use it every day. They are lead free and dishwasher safe - first questions out of my mouth when considering buying them.
Some of the pieces of a place setting


One of the dishes

A close up - it is all hand painted and signed - we watched them paint - not ours but others


Then we got this for the house - it is by front door - remember if you come to Indiana


Also bought four sets of tiles of fruits and vegetables







and Bill has been busy - this is what we did with them - a wall int he kitchen that was just painted yellow before

And of course we couldn't resist some of these to hang around

Good thing we were traveling in the motorhome or we would have had that dining room set we saw in Hidalgo.
Still trying to get my web page finished for the trip and moving pictures from laptop to PC and external drives.
Looks like most of our Koi and goldfish made it. Guess the bobcat didn't eat too many. Also the roses are doing fine and the daffodills are blooming like crazy. The redbuds are starting so soon it will be all color around here.
Went into town and everyone welcomed us back. Heard that the profits for Bob Evans Restaurant and Menards (home improvement store) went down while we were gone. I believe it.

Absoluely love the dinnerware and the tiles! And yes...you have bad weather coming...I'll send it on as fast as I can!

if your driveway could talk it would say "welcome home"
great stuff you bought, love the tiles, had some similiar
years ago, they were all handpainted on single tile, and
set helter skelter into my kitchen wall behind my stove
back in Colorado.
The first thing that caught my eye in your picture of Alfie
was the beautiful GREEN pines, cause everything here is
so brown color, even our greens are brown

Your dishes are gorgeous! And the tiles look spectacular with the yellow. It would be hard to feel depressed if you're surrounded with these cheerful designs. Sorry for the bad weather coming, but you know April. She likes to taunt!

Beautiful, love the bright colors and the tiles against the yellow wall! You guys really work and play hard!

The dishes go beautifully with the kitchen....and more importantly, they make you smile.....anything that bright and beautiful is bound to remind you everyday of the possibility for joy and laughter.......I do believe that we are effected my our environments.......

I am sooo jealous that you have a hubby that likes to create things! Mine avoids it!! Love the tiles and what you did in the kitchen!

so glad that you made it home ok Carol and I so agree you did good in the shopping ....like your tiles and it looks so good in the kitchen. What part of Indiana again?
never no when we may make it there...
sheila

Both the tile and dishes are just beautiful! Yellow is one of my favorite colors. You make me want to add a yellow tile backsplash in my kitchen (kitchen is pale yellow). Lucky you!!

Love the dishes, Carol!
