Yoli no disrespect taken LOL Its a KY thing here with the Old House:) I hope you enjoyed the song:) and pictures of our pretty state. I would love to come to texas one day. The quilt show is on my to do list there in houston. Also the alamo and river walk area. and the beaches LOL I just wanna do it big like the texans:)

Well Texas is 8x KY so you'll have to have plenty of days vacation to city hop like that Just to hit the shops I did, I had to plan only 7 a day an hour leaving an hour before the shops close so I could hopefully hit all 7 shops before they closed by around 5. so if shop hoping took a full week to hit 32 shops, you'll need extra vacation days for city hoping I was stationed in San Antonio so I can tell you the river walk is not all that, but do come prepared for the hot weather. Depending on the city you go, it's either 100% humidity even at 80 degrees, or 100 degrees with 0% humidity. they are both just as deadly lol.

We had a great time on our journey to AZ and back. Aria is growing so fast that I must make sure to visit more often. She is a sweetheart and I don't want to miss a thing. Loved seeing Evan. He and Rob were such troopers going shop hopping for Rows. Evan had the Pokemon Go on his phone and we all got a kick out of it especially when he said slow down or No turn here!!!
I will list them later but for now ... in CA we stopped at 16 shops and in AZ we stopped at I believe 17 shops. I can't find my list at the moment so I went off of the pictures. Evan is picking me up a number from the shops in IA, Carrie in NC, Jenifer picked up I think 5 in UT. My Sis in Womelsdorf, PA, and another in Salem, MA. Cousin in Castle Rock, CO, Courtney in FL and Marta traveling from CA to Texas and back.
What I really would like to do is make a family quilt from the ones my family sends me.
Everyone has been GREAT!!! Especially humorous when Rob, Evan, Jenifer and even Aria ask for a pattern. Who can say No to a 2.5 yr old especially when she is very precise in her asking. No mumbling. YES I know how to work the rules!! Plus I am an embassador from our group who live in the desert FAR AWAY from so many shops.
I was especially impressed with the professionalism of each pattern. I think only 2 were black and white. I know many of you will be very happy when you receive the ones I have.
Will I do this again - You Bethcha!!! Lots of new stores I have never been in and always a smile to greet you.
After I get all the ones I will be sending I will send them all in one envelope. THANKS HUGE for Hosting this FUN Journey.

successful trip! Cool finds too

ok, so when I went home to El Paso, I picked up the 2 rows available there and put them in a big yellow envelope. On my drive back my water bottle accidentally tipped over and so I towel patted everything I had on the passenger seat and just went on my merry way. It was a non eventful 9 hour drive. When I got home and unloaded my stuff, the envelope was soaked! I carefully separated each sheet to air dry. The envelope bled. So now those 2 rows instructions have yellow water marks but everything is still readable. They are not nasty dirty like food or beverage, just water stains from the envolope. Here are the pictures of the rows... Do you still want me to send those in?

[billizzy]

well yeah LOL water never hurt anyone:) just gave them a bath is all:) I love the alamo one for sure:) that is the alamo right? lol

Izzy

[yvtsis]

lol, no. the alamo is in san antonio. those are the El Paso Missions. long history class if i explain. but if you're curious here's a link but the pattern tells you what each thing stands for, including eachh mountain
