I am in Abilene, TX to watch my grandsons swim AND to celebrate my daughter's birthday. We have arrived a wee bit early and one of the local quilt shops just opened. It happens to be just a few blocks from the pool and that makes it even more doable. Are you ready? Here is R Quilt Haven. Take a peek around with me.
Well, my anniversary has come and gone. Wow -- the years are flying by. One of my favorite anniversary trips was the one we took to New England as "leaf peepers." Oh the beauty of it all will never leave my mind and just in case it does -- I have pictures. Not these ones though. Again, the following are from my 'hood.
With a quilt drop-off in Flower Mound as a task for today and a sweetheart who is off work, we are making it a "try a new quilt shop" moment. It is actually in Lewisville and called the Antique Gallery. What a fun place! The first booth nets us a new rolling pin and Mister is pleased as it is a Foley and I have wanted one for a LONG time. Check out these great alphabet block creations. We are thinking grandkids could so something similar with just stuff we have at home.
Oh my, oh my. The middle of October is almost upon us. For us, that means the end of this mystery is in sight.
October means a return to Rainbow, TX and Brazos House. It is like coming home and I can feel the peace settling in as I get closer and closer. Being in the country appeals to me more with each passing year and the simple joy of stopping to see cattle and birds sharing a meadow happens often. Mom and her little aren't real pleased that I have stopped, but my heart is loving each moment.
Ahhh, living with hardwoods at this time of year is just calming. All the gorgeous colors running amok in the backyard just make my heart so very happy. I think what they say about certain colors for certain people is true. I am a redhead and naturally drawn to oranges, browns, golds, etc. Nature provides them to me each autumn and it has always been my favorite season.
