I’m back to life!  Vacation was fabulous–a true vacation! 

Here’s the lake through the eyes of a spider.  Some of my favorite moments were in the morning as fog and dew rose up through the trees and across the water. 

Spending time with my family was priceless.  Tony fished pretty much the entire time.  I visited 3 quilt shops. 

When I returned to reality I came down with something not so lovely.  Spent a night on the bathroom floor and then decided that Tony should take me into the ER.  They never really figured out what it was, but boy did they make me feel good.  I’m not such a fan of drugs but…they made me a much happier girl.  Now I’m dreading the ER bill. 

Today involves catching up on some quilt projects and doing a little tomatoe sauce freezing.  It’s starting to feel like fall and that means the freezer needs stocking for the next year.

Sunday Blessings to you!

Tony and I are leaving to go visit my parents tomorrow morning at 5 am.  I am so excited!  My parents live on a beautiful lake in MN and Dakota, my yellow lab, is going to have a blast!  Not to mention she has my parents yellow lab to romp around with as well.  I plan on enjoying the outdoors, reading, some handwork, visiting quilt shops, and shopping with the girls.  Oh, and I’m sure the hubby will talk me into doing a little bass fishing with him.  Yay!!!  A real vacation!

So today was nuts simply because it’s the day before you leave and you feel like everything must be in order before you depart.  I finished up a bag for the quilt shop…pictured.  I also quilted two baby quilts for a friend in WI.    Ah yes–I did some dishes, made blueberry muffins for the car ride, packed, did some frantic housecleaning as I thought the dog had fleas, caught up on emails, mailed patterns… 

I’m ready for vacation!  I’ll be checking in on Friday a totally refreshed woman!
