Day one....

So Marilyn arrived with a Starbucks latte for me (loved her even more) and it was just like we had seen each other for every day for the last 6 months.  I had her bed set with her birthday presents which I forgot to take a pic of but she was very excited with all her treasures.  I too was very surprised....it wasn't my birthday but she had a bag of goodies for me.  

These are them all together with close ups below....

There's a few people that will be receiving the "big girl panties..."

A framed crosss stitch she made me.

This is a miniature recipe box with mini recipe cards all containing recipes with coffee....the cutest thing.

This was packaged in a cd case but is a pattern with thread and fabric ....awesome.

After having present opening for both we headed out..... We went to parking lot and here's Marilyn's new wheels.....from a very old Toyota mini van now sporting the SUV...

First stop was a quilt shop ....shocking I know but I left without purchasing a thing. It was called ....

Then off to cross stitch shop...they had a HUGE array of buttons and 70% of a large selection of quite a few patterns.  I also scored some silk over dyed thread to try that "Sister Mary Carol" (lol) recommended.  

Next stop lunch authentic tex mex .....they served chips and salsa , lentil soup, and we ordered chicken quesadillas.

Before going in we tried a couple of selfies.....

After lunch next stop Starbucks then to Quilt Shop #2 where I met Cheri Leffler. 

 

 She works at the shop.

She has another book coming out soon. I didn't escape this shop so easily.  They had quite a few clearance fabrics including some old Judie Rothermeil fabrics.

We left the shop and we were pooped..so we decided to go to the GROCERY STORE omg...it was huge.  

We bought some rolls and lunch meat some water and tea to have sandwiches.  

We got back to hotel after A LOT of traffic unloaded and chilled for the rest of the night.  We had some face time with Syd and watched Big Bang Theory.  Neither one of us had much sleep the night before but somehow didn't get to bed until 2:30 am.

Well the water is being turned of at noon although Marilyn just got out of the shower and it cut off hot to just cold and then off while she was in there.  So we are getting dressed and heading out to do some more adventures. 

Have a great day and keep safe and warm back home.

My poor hubby fell on the ice yesterday but thankfully fell on the left arm not the right arm he had surgery. He's ok this morning but please all be careful. 

Hugs...
