Friday Folly!

 I'm going to start with a little quilty news, then share a little of my vacation. 

I brought this basket, but left the background! A lot of good that did me, huh?! It's ready to go now. 

 Before I left, my friend Linda,  mailed me her "orphan" blocks. These do not look like orphans to me! Thank you Linda!!

 Here's my Instagram for the week. A lady who works at the bank (and I see almost everyday for work) asked if I'd go on vacation with her. She is divorced and doesn't want to go by herself. (makes complete sense to me!) We've been making plans for several months and Saturday morning early we took off for Orcas Island in the San Juan Islands in Washington State.
As a kid we used to take the ferry to many of the islands so it was fun to go see some of these areas again after all these years. Here are a few highlights.

 The weather was fantastic each and every day we were there! It was amazing! Here we are on the ferry which was getting us to our destination.

 We stayed in this gorgeous inn at EastSound, centrally located and easy to get to everything.

Here is the view from the highest point on the island. 

 We hiked around this lake. 

Went kayaking.

 Went whale watching and saw a pod of orcas!

And after 5 days this welcomed us home. 

Back to the desert, back home.

And after 5 days of travel with someone I didn't know, I consider ourselves friends!

Have a lovely weekend.
