My son & I arrived home earlier this afternoon from our trip to Wisconsin
Dells to pick up the items he wanted from his aunt's home. About 2700 miles
round trip and we only saw rain Thursday driving through Iowa on the return
trip. But then, on the drive up, we went through Arkansas, IL, into WI to
avoid all the storms in no TX and OK.
Returning, we cut across WI, to LaCrosse where DS found the "perfect" guitar
amp, through a corner of MN and straight down to Dallas and home.

He found his aunt's Kenmore sewing machine in a beautiful cabinet, probably
a 1950 or so, and says now he no longer has to borrow one of mine, he has
his own. LOL However, we discovered she had donated her DM's
turn-of-the-century Singer machine sometime ago, to an orphanage, that she
often helped.

I had wanted to get over to Nancy Zieman's sewing store/warehouse in Beaver
Dam, WI while there, but there simply wasn't enough time to make a 100+ mile
round trip and have the proper time I would need to shop. I have been a
well-satisfied mail-order customer for over 20 years, so that will
continue.

We've been gone for 9 days, so I hope everybody has been good and sewing a
lot during the time. I have over 200 messages on this group alone to read,
so I need to start. Monday, I will have to decide where to put all the
furniture that will arrive in a few days before I can start sewing again. I
got so many inspirations for outfits for both DGD and me from observing
clothing other people I saw during the trip. I am happy to be home.

Dear Emily,
Glad your back. Your trip sounds like it was really nice. Aren't you
lucky DS not has his own machine!!
Take a few days to rest up, long trips can be so tiring. Just ask
Beverly. <grin>.

Things sort of piled up on me yesterday, I went grocery
shopping in the afternoon, came home and put things away,
sat down in my comfy chair "for just a minute" and awakened
at 9:00.....PM. ;-} So I guess I'm still getting my
internal clock re-set. Or something.

I find it's always worse when traveling from one time zone to another, but
since we were in the same zone, it wasn't as bad. It was sooo good to sleep
in my own bed, though. Both of us rested most of today, and DS cooked
supper. After eating out for 9 days, it was good to have a home-cooked
meal, especially prepared by an excellent cook.
Tomorrow will definitely be laundry day for me; DS will do the grocery
shopping.
Yes, he knows how to sew well, not that he's planning to make outfits for
work. I think he wants to make himself some shorts and I imagine he'll do
something for the niece in SC.

We traveled through all three US time Zones going and coming
home. We boarded the plane in Atlanta at 4:00pm, and set
our watches back to Pacific time, so it was "really" 1:00.
Then the flight was delayed while on the taxi-way, and
actual flying time was over 5 hours, so we were all pretty
zonked for the first couple of days.

That is always the thing I most appreciate about getting
home after an extended trip. Hotel beds just are never as
comfortable as my own. And the PILLOWS! They are either
too firm, too soft, too thick, too thin, or there is not
enough of them. :-| Yeah, just call me grayielocks....

I kinda find eating out one of the great pleasures of
traveling. I try new things, and I don't have to clean up
after.

I had three loads to do, but only because I sort: light;
dark and red.

Very cool, I think it's great we have several fellows on
this group who actually do sew, and sew very well.
