I imagine you can guess where we've been from this photo. We are back from a wonderful vacation trip to Yellowstone National Park and Glacier National Park. This was my first time to see either park, even to be in that part of the country. I took almost 500 pictures and I'll show you just …

A Tablescapers Dream Store
While we were in Greensboro, I asked DH to take me to the Replacement China store just east of town. I've wanted to visit this store for years. They thoughtfully have provided a lounge area at the back with comfy chairs and a TV, so DH could read his Kindle while I enjoyed the displays. …
Quick Trip to Greensboro
A little over a week ago, we made a quick trip to Greensboro for a car show on Saturday. We drove over Friday so we could have some fun on the way. The first stop was the Greensboro Arboretum. This is a lovely small arboretum and park on a narrow strip of land between a …
Quilting Fun in Sevierville, Tennessee
Traveling to visit and speak to quilt guilds is so fun! I have a couple of hours to talk to DH while we drive. He is so helpful with set up and handouts, and it is nice to have him with me. Last week, we drove over to Sevierville, Tennessee to give my Decisions Decisions …
Program for Ashe County Piecemakers Quilt Guild

The Raulston Arboretum, Part 2

Visiting the Raulston Arboretum
While I still work on secret sewing, I thought I would finally show you the gardens I visited in Raleigh. The JC Raulston Arboretum is maintained by NC State University as a study area for plants and trees that would do well in our area of the country. They describe themselves as a 'living laboratory' …
Dunlawton Sugar Mill Gardens
Last summer, when we went to Florida to visit friends, they took us to the Dunlawton Sugar Mill Gardens in Port Orange. Knowing that we enjoy walking in nature, this was a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. While I work on secret sewing projects, and it is bitterly cold outside, I thought it would …
A Day at the Races
Last weekend we made a quick trip to Florida for the Daytona Historic Races, giving us a chance to visit our friends there too. We all went to the track together for the Saturday races, arriving as this group of racers was on the track. Mustangs and Porsches raced alongside other cars of similar vintage. …
Tower Of London
Our trip in May to London had so much to do and share, I needed to break it up and spread it out. I am sure you would think I was turning into a travel blog, LOL, but I promise that isn't going to happen. As much as I like history and especially English history, …
