Home from camping and October's thank you note

We are home from our two days at the Washington coast camping in our fifth wheel.  The weather was pretty iffy and we came home through torrential rain.  Yesterday was pretty nice as we ran around Astoria, taking our little dog, Brandy to the vet, did our twice monthly Costco shopping, stopped in at Home Depot for things to finish our garage bathroom, visited our favorite seafood market for some great fish to bring home to the freezer and had two fun meals, a late breakfast at Pig n Pancake and an early dinner at Fort George.  The temperature had really dropped from this last couple of weeks and it was so damp that I stayed inside as much as possible as the damp weather is death on my arthritis.  We did get two great mornings in the hot tub at the RV park and I read two good books.  Here is an indication of what we faced as we went down Ocean Beach Hiway from Longview to Ilwaco where our RV park was located.  If you look very carefully you can see the Astoria Megler bridge through the dense fog.

My husband loves to go to Fort George as it is one of the many local craft breweries in Oregon that makes great beer.  He is of Czech descent and loves good beer.  Here he is enjoying his favorite Fort George beer called Vortex IPA.  This is a special one made with fresh hops that only is served seasonally.

So on to some stamping.  Before I left for the coast, I delivered my first batch of orders for October so that meant I had to design a new little thank you note.  I didn't have a lot of time before we left town so this is the cute little card that I came up with.  Just love the For All Things stamp set and, in keeping with my goal to use up as much of the retired accessories and paper this year, it also includes some retired metallic brads.  It is pretty simple as all of my little thank yous are supposed to be.
