Back from Vacation

Whew!!!!!!!!!!!! What a vacation! So relaxing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We did some fishing, some walking, and just a bunch of nothing.

This was our view from our campsite. 9 days relaxing by the lake was just wonderful. No phones, no housework, no offices!!!!!!!!!!!! That alone was worth it. Bill and I did not miss our offices at all. I am sure we will find out tomorrow morning how well they did with out us.

Oh yes, here is Bill, giving me that look. You know the one that says "Sure honey I did agree to take you on a road trip today, but I didn't think it was going to involve all quilt shops!"

He was a real trooper, spending the day driving me around to search out quilt shops.
And we did findthree very cute shops.

This is the Cutting Edge in Weston, Wisconsin. Such a lovely shop. And we had to travel to Antigo, Wisconsin to see the other shop that The Cutting Edge owns.

This shop was a little bigger, so I found myself spending a little more than I did at the first shop. I promised myself that my stash was very big, and I had projects that I probably won't get to till next year; so I would not buy any more fabric or patterns. Oh well, as if I didn't need the few items I picked up at these two shops...................

But then when we got to Tigerton, Wisconsin to this shop called Pinery Quilts, I just went wild. Now I will have projects that will take me into the year 2011..........My God, what was I thinking!!!!!!!!!!

Not to worry, later in the evening we did something that Bill wanted to do. We went to a casino and did a little gambling. I surprised myself by walking out of the casino with enough to pay for my shopping excursion plus a little extra. You don't want to know how Bill did. He still is pretty grumpy about it.................Oh well, it was an activity that he wanted to do. I just went along.
