Each year I enjoy sharing blog posts from throughout the year that were favourites with my readers. Here are the top 5 for 2019 in order. Click the titles to read the complete posts.1. Wayne and Margy's Rental RV Road Trip: Wayne and I rented a 25' Coachman Leprechaun motorhome from El Monte RV in Ferndale, Washington. On January 25, we embarked on a 24-day trip from Bellingham to Tucson, Arizona, and back. We wanted to see if RV life was for us. It was a great trip with a lot of lessons learned.

2. Mason Jar Solar Lights: Crafting is one of my hobbies. I repurposed two mason jars into solar lights for our picnic table at our float cabin on Powell Lake.

3. 30-Day Drawing Challenge: In January I participated in the 30-Day Drawing Challenge sponsored by the Comox Valley Community Arts Council. I combined the daily prompts with my cabin journal entries. I got lots of good drawing tips to help me improve. If there's one in your area, give it a try.
