Fish Lake Camping Trip

John: "Finally! I have you all to myself!"

Julia: "What can you mean John?"

John: Well, since we were married, you have been so busy

with the move and spending time with Laura 

and Amanda and Viola.  Then we decided to move too!

 I feel like I hardly have any time alone with you!

Julia: "Oh John, I had no idea you felt that way!"

John and Julia's surprise Vegas wedding!

Julia: "What beautiful scenery!"

Julia: "Those clouds look a little stormy."

John: "I checked the forecast. We should 

have perfect camping weather!"

John: "Here we are, Fish Lake!"

Julia: "Oh John, this is a perfect spot!"

John: "Hey, let's head to the lodge for lunch!"

John: I read that this lodge was built in 1917.

Julia: It's so rustic!"

Julia: "what a beautiful fireplace. It's getting 

chilly, I wish there was a fire."

"Oh, look at this dining room!

Julia: "What a beautiful view."

John: "Hey, let's rent a boat after lunch?"

Julia: "Oh, that sounds like fun!"

John: "What a beautiful lake."

John: "The waiter said the boat rentals are this way."

John: Here it is Julia, this way!"

John: "Yes sir, that blue row boat will be perfect!"

John: "Just look at that Julia!"

Julia: "It's truly lovely.  I'm so glad we came here."

John: "We're ready for a cozy campfire!"

Julia: "I'll be there in a minute John."

Julia: "This is So cozy, but does it feel cooler to you?"

John: "It is a bit cooler, but that's just cause

 the sun went down."

Julia: "I'm cold honey, I'm going inside for a cocoa."

John: "OK, I'll stay here by the fire for awhile longer."

Julia: "John, I found the wool blanket! I think 

we might need it, it's getting very cold!"

AN HOUR LATER...

John: "You look cozy. Is there room for one more?"

Julia: "Of course John, cocoa?"

John: "Sure, that sounds perfect!"

Julia: "John! Look, it's snowing! You said 

you checked the forecast?"

John: "I did, I was hoping this would happen, 

but the clouds cleared up this afternoon!"

Julia: "John, you wanted it to snow?"

John: "Sure, what could be better than getting 

snowed in with you?"

NEXT MORNING

Julia: John! I wish I knew what you were 

planning, I would have brought some boots!

 My feet are SO cold."

John: I guess it was a good thing I bought these.

Julia: Oh John!  You thought of everything! 

But, how did you...

John: Lauren helped me pick them out.

Julia: "Oh John, you're the best husband 

a girl ever had!"

Julia: "Your roll."

John: "OK, I need sixes and a full house..."

Julia: Maybe after this game we can play pinocle?"

John: "Sure, sounds great!"

BOOT TUTORIAL

While creating this post I couldn't stop 

thinking how COLD Julia's feet would

 have been in her open heels.  

SO, here is my solution to cold feet.

Measure some craft felt 2 3/4 by 2 inches.

Cut out 2.

Fold over and zig-zag closed.

You should have this felt tube.

Put over foot until sole is 

showing at the bottom.

Fold in the front like this and use 

embroidery thread to create

laces. Start at the top and stitch to 

the bottom then back to the top.

Draw around the sole after lacing and cut out.

Dip the bottom edge of the boot in tacky glue,

then set it on the bottom sole you cut out.

Trim around the bottom to finish!

Warm boots!

Merry Christmas Everyone!!
