Kite Building Retreat

Feb 14 - 17, 2025

One of the reasons we chose to stay with Mike and Cathy in February is the Maryland Kite Society's kite building retreat weekend. Harold used to attend this faithfully when we had a house in Virginia.

I helped Cathy with the bag raffle. Each year the retreat offers a bag raffle and a loud auction to raise funds for future events. It can be a great time to stock up on kite-related stuff.

No new kites for Harold though. Our Jeep rooftop case is full. Harold enjoyed catching up with people and spent some time repairing sewing machines.

Chateaux du Mosman

January 30 - March 2, 2025

When Mike was designing his new house, he told us he was putting in an RV pad. He asked questions about dimensions and what was needed to put in full hook ups. The finished spot is amazing. We were truly humbled by their willingness to be a landing spot for us.

We met Mike and Cathy through kiting. Harold and Mike both enjoy making kites and have had many discussions over the best way to build kites. The new hobby room allows them ample space.

Cathy shares the hobby room. She sews and is very accomplished. After admiring her purse, she commented that she makes her own. A light bulb went on. Though I had replaced my Cadillac Ranch spray-painted purse, the replacement purse was proving a bit too small. Cathy graciously used her talents to make me a new purse, customizing pockets and letting me select my own fabric colors. I love it!
