Vacation is Over :0(

Wow did the last few days go fast!!! Tuesday we went to the Brewers game for our 13th wedding Anniversary. They squeaked it out after going extra innings. I didn't sleep very well that night in anticipation of meeting some of my online friends for the first time.

The airport transportation came at 3:30 a.m. to pick me up. Whizzed through security, boarded the plane and then sat on the runway for 1-1/2 hours b/c the tower computers were down! Ugh! Didn't they realize I needed to get to Paducah so I could meet my friends and buy fabric!?!?! LOL I eventually got to Nashville and met Peg for the first time. We zoomed up to Paducah to meet Shirley, Tammy, Kathy and Maria at Hancock's of Paducah where I found a "couple" things. There we stopped at DQ for something cool to eat and get re-energized. Then it was off to Eleanor's tent sale where I got a "couple" more things. After we went into town, hit a couple vendor booths, ate and then went back to Shirley's. I crashed early since I had gotten up so early.

Thursday we checked out the quilt show and more vendors. I did much better on spending that day. My biggest find was the Witches' Brew pattern. I have had my eye on it since I saw it in Keepsake Quilting, but was holding off. One vendor was selling the face and hand which she did with colored pencils. If I would have had to do the face, it NEVER would have looked this good so I snatched it up. We went back to Shirley's for supper. Her husband grilled chicken which was yummy. Although she needs to work on a better dessert (jk). After we hung out in her sewing room and talked.

Friday was a hang out at The Barn and relax day. Late morning we met up with Shirley in Paducah to eat and checked out a couple more vendors and then it was back to Nashville. We drove around for a little bit, ate some supper and then hit (or tried) the sack.

Saturday was back to the airport and back to reality. It was great meeting my online buddies. We had an absolute blast! The host & hostess were absolutely phenomenal!!! ;0)
