- J & I went to Michigan this weekend & we passed the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile on the way...
- I learned there are actually roads in Detroit called "Ford Road" & "Pontiac Trail." This is something a Southerner has to see to believe...
- I was reminded again of the fact that Michigan drivers drive fast. Highway driving was wonderful this weekend!
- Big cities (well, cities larger than Omaha) have wonderful stores like Ikea & REI. Btw, Ikea cinnamon rolls are amazing....
- In prepping for this trip last week was pure insanity. Thank God I have a dear husband who doesn't mind running out to Walmart at 10pm on the night before we have to drive 12 hours to buy me more Velcro so I can finish a walker bag for his grandmother....
- Here is said walker bag:
- I also managed to finish & mail a baby quilt for J's cousin last week. Pics to come....
- I also finished another grommet bag...
- I also taught the quilted table runner class. The students pieces are beautiful! Pics to come also....
- Needless to say, just sitting & sipping my coffee this morning felt like heaven....
- On the road, we listened to Quiet (the book about introverts) & Bossypants by Tina Fey. Both were great & we need to finish them as well. We paused & talked too much about the books so 24 hours in the car wasn't nearly enough time to finish 12 hours of audio...
- Now we're home & settling back into the routine. I love the fresh start feeling I get the first days back from a trip.....
- One of my first goals is to tackle my studio. It's in serious need of some cleaning. Or at least just straightening....
