Rewind

It seems that a certain almost-one-year-old doesn't care for time spent on the computer, specifically, my time.  So, I'm blaming him for not getting this post up sooner.

At the end of July, I went on an adventure to Texas to visit my forever friend at her homestead.  I've never done anything like this on my own, but I'm so glad I did!  We packed a lot of fun into a weekend.

We visited a couple of fancy yarn shops in Dallas.  At this one, The Shabby Sheep, (love how yarn shops always have cute names), I bought some yarn that was hand dyed and spun right there in the shop.  It's currently an in-progress hat for Forrest.

 We also found a couple of fabric stores in Dallas.  This one, The Fabric Factory, advertised 4000 home decorator fabrics.  I don't think they were exaggerating!  It was amazing, and I've never seen anything like it.  I bought a couple of things for two projects that will be fun reminders of my trip once I get them done.

The last day of the trip, we visited a boat show.  Jenna and Randy live near a large lake, and they're thinking of becoming boaters.  While there, they found some nice pontoon boats that looked great, and I decided on this yacht.

Other activities of the weekend, included some sewing for Jenna and Randy's little one scheduled to arrive in February, hanging out and catching up (it had been too long!), and eating some delicious food.  I know that Firehouse Subs is chain, and probably not all that exciting to the locals, but I'm still thinking of the pork and coleslaw sandwich I had :0)  I just looked, and my closest location seems to be in Springfield.  I used to live there...

Thanks, Jenna and Randy, for a great three days!
