Welcome to the Weekend: Escape to the Coast
This week has been long and stressful so I’m thrilled the weekend is here. Although it poured rain this week, we decided to pack up our trailer and head to the coast. That’s the beauty of this little RV…we can pack it in a jiffy and hit the road. Sometimes short journeys feel like long distances when they take us away from our daily routine.
We saw the surgeon yesterday morning who changed Lucy’s bandage and gave me some good news. 
The swelling in her paw has gone down enough that it now resembles a real paw! For over two weeks it’s been unrecognizable. She believes Lucy will be able to walk on her paw again, without pain. Lucy may limp, but that might only be because it feels awkward to her. I believe our prayers have been answered already in that she’s improving and her pain is greatly diminished. My heart tells me all of your prayers played a large part in her recovery and I am humbled by your kindness. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
She wears this little boot when the ground is wet. She’s getting used to it but isn’t happy with it.
We’re spending the weekend at the coast less than 2 hours from home which might as well be halfway around the world.
The air is filled with the scent of salt water and Eucalyptus trees. It’s magical to stand on the bluff, listening to the crashing waves and watch the sunset.
The temperature is cooler by the water so I packed several pairs of boots and brought my new fedora. I love hats and this one has tons of attitude! It feels very “Casablanca like” and is a classic shape I will wear year after year.
Being by the coast is a balm to my spirit. I didn’t realize how badly I needed this escape until we got here.
Thanks for reading and being the kind, supportive women you are!
Have a fabulous weekend!!

Your pup is so cute! Hope her paw is getting better!
She is! Thanks Jessica. We are so blessed.
I’m incredibly happy to know that your fur-baby is so much better. Let us hope that Lucy doesn’t experience anymore pain. You definitely deserve a getaway to the beach to let you mind rest and smell the salt air. Soul cleansing!
I love you in that BR fedora. Such a great look on you. Don’t you love Fall?!!
Happy Thanksgiving to you two! A big hug to little Lucy from the Milne’s.

Ah thanks, Deborah! Hopefully, we can see you both this winter when we come south to escape the rain. Planning to go to Palm Springs? How about a meet up with our trailers?? xo
This is just breathtaking! Love your hat and wrap. I would love to visit the West coast someday. The East coast is beautiful too. I love our NC beaches.
I am anxious to visit NC! The pictures I’ve seen are stunning. Hopefully, we can see it this summer.
What heartwarming news re Lucy & I’m so pleased for you and especially for her.
Nothing like an escape when times have been stressful and enjoy your time away.
We feel so lucky. Thanks Julie
Glad to hear the good news about Lucy! You look great in this outfit! Happy travels.
We feel so blessed. Thanks Janet!
beautiful scenery. Enjoy your weekend and hope Lucy enjoys the trip too.
Thank you Sue
I am so glad your precious pup is better. Sounds fun on the California Coast.
It’s very relaxing here. Much needed escape.
Yay!! So glad Lucy is on the mend and her prognosis is good. It’s so stressful when our animal companions are not feeling well.
It’s very stressful and sad. I’m so relieved and we continue to pray. She feeling so much better I’m very relieved.
That is great news! What a relief for you. Lucy will be much happier now that she doesn’t have to wear that cone and/or be restrained to a small area. Go Lucy!
I find the ocean is cathartic. The sound if the waves so relaxing. I don’t know if I would be happy living anywhere far from the ocean.
Enjoy your weekend and come back refreshed.
She will likely need to wear a donut collar when the bandages come off on Wed. She’s come so far. I love the water
Love your hat! I must have it! You look so sassy and gorgeous! ????
It’s on sale and a great value. I’m wearing a S/M and it also comes in L/XL
So glad your Lucy is better! She is adorable- those eyes! Enjoy your time at the coast. It looks delightful. The sound of waves rolling in is one of the most relaxing sounds ever.
I could listen to the waves for hours! In fact I am
Great news re Lucy. You will feel like you have been away for months.
Raining here in Vancouver, BC
I am working working this weekend – at a theatre. But fun – as I get to see the musical Jersey Boys. Everyone leaves the theatre in great spirits.
How fun! I’m always wanted to see the Jersey Boys. Inside is a great place to be in the rain.
Glad to hear the good news about little Lucy. You sure do look chic in that wrap and fedora. My husband and I also enjoy occasional getaways in our RV, and we often RV with friends; we call it Group Therapy. Great fun! However, if I emerged from my camper sporting that look, they would laugh at me; last time I was gently chided for wearing makeup – lol! It’s just that we’re very casual within our group; however, if we decide to go into town and do something, we’ll glam it up a bit. I may have to find that wrap!
Lol! As long as you’re enjoying yourself that’s all that matters!
There is nothing like the sound of the surf to soothe away stress!
I agree!
