Priest lake freebie

I was at Priest lake (in Idaho) last week...camping.

It was so much fun and I wanted to remember the fun times with an embroidery design.

This would also be fun to applique on a quilt too.

Copy and save...

*Please note that all freebies are for you to use to make a couple finished goods (no mass producing) and a couple gifts...they are still legally my designs.

This is Priest lake...a huge lake...lovely water...great sandy beaches.

We had a great camp site...very close by.

WE boated around, swam, made several sand castles, went to resorts, hiked, played games, four square and more! 

This chipmunk loved our potato sticks and he would eat some and then hide the rest...he would take one and rest it on a tree , in between bark....it was so cool!

Then he would go back and eat them.

we also had deer that came through our camp and a sweet frog. 

Here is one of the sand castles...

the beach was pretty hot and the sand was too.

The smell of pine tree and water was great!

One day someone played bagpipes in the distance...it was cool.

Summer.....Oh the good old days

Wow....it has been hot in Spokane Washington.....and next week it will be hotter....upper 90's. 

That is me on the right....in 1972.  I have "Sugar" my dog next to me, and my sister Julie on the left. I have 3 sisters and one bro.

We are at deer lake....north of Spokane.

Remember the good old days....when you just played all day long.....everyone was safe....and there were no worries?

We went there many times....good memories.

 

When we were kids ....our family did not have enough money for chips, pop, snacks.....etc.

When we were hungry my mom told us to go eat a nice piece of toast.

There were never left overs and we went out to a fast food restaurant about 3 times a year.

You only got milk for your cereal and at school.

We had great holidays though....food and gifts a plenty.

I was my father's only child and the baby of the family.  My mom raised us well and my father has been there for me all through the years...and still is!

 

Sometimes it seems like I have already had five life's worth of fun....and I will have a lot more.

Do you feel that way?
