Day 3…Tuesday
Another early (for me) morning…up, showered, coffeed and away we go! Stopped at Country Pine Furniture – René was looking for a lampshade…they have some gorgeous stuff here!

I slept under a beautiful quilt with a coffee maker all set up next to me… Read more »

It had a lot to do with being exhausted at the end of each day and having too much fun to stop and blog! Tomorrow morning after church,l I leave for Reading PA to attend the Hershey Quilt show. This is my first time at this show and my first time staying (and meeting!) my host. I’m hoping to blog along the journey using my phone and post lots of pictures. Off… Read more »
