What I’ve Been Up To…

It’s hard to believe it’s been two months!?

Whilst on vacation I…

  • visited with my family in Texas
  • shopped and sewed with my sister
  • visited with an old quilty friend who had moved to Dallas
  • vacuumed 120 gallons of water out of the basement at my parents, removed wet carpet, padding and tile
  • went to a Quilting Retreat hosted by the most gracious Judy Laquidara from Patchwork Times
  • worked on a couple old UFO’s at the retreat
  • work on a couple new projects at the retreat
  • found my quilt MoJo at the retreat
  • went on an unofficial quilt shop hop with my sister
  • visited an amazing shop called Batiks Galore
  • watched the Longhorn Cattle Drive at the Ft. Worth Stock Yards twice in one day
  • ate Mexican food when ever I could
  • ate Chicken Fried Steak when ever I could
  • ate sausage biscuits and gravy when ever I could
  • probably gained 10 pounds
  • visited my Aunt and Cousins in Kansas on my way home
  • brought my Aunt home with me for a 10 day visit - dodging tornados on our way across Indiana
  • visited my brother in VA while our Aunt was here
  • played cards and dominos every chance I got
  • attended the AQS Lancaster Quilt Show last week
  • visited with many Quilty friends during the show
  • spent too much money at the show because now I have my MoJo back
  • caught up on (over 3 days) all of AMC’s The Walking Dead shows that have aired since it began again in mid-Feb.
  • decided that 3 days of zombie apocalypse is too much because I dreamed about zombies

But I am officially done with vacation and all the fun stuff has come to an end… today I go back to the gym… then I’ll probably need a nap!

It was wonderful seeing you in PA, thanks for picking me up and taking me to see all the gals. I've gained weight myself, and I am enjoying eating too much. Back to eating less.

It was great meeting you at the retreat. See you next year?

I was thrilled to meet you after so many years of knowing you online! Glad to read that you had safe travels, if a bit disconcerting weather wise. Would never have guessed there was anything wrong with your quilting MOJO....you accomplished so much at retreat.
