~ Texas Stitchers ~

I love this picture! We all just pulled out our stitching for this shot. Carolyn and Jennifer are part of our SAL. The way it works we choose a chart, have homework to do and each week we see where everyone is on the project, even if your not finished we move on . If you fall behind you just have lots of stitching to do. Our latest project is Kindrid Spirits. Here is.....

Jennifer's. This is her first stitch. Didn't it turn out great? And

this is Carolyn's....love it. Didn't they find the neatest frames? What? You say where is mine? Well, uh, I'm still not finished....naughty me. I'll post mine when I finish...I had to order more thread but that is not why I'm not finished...I just fell behind....hugs, Linda

The Cedar Chest and Hole In The Wall

While in Texas look at this cute little antique treasure we visited. The Cedar Chest is an old home that has been converted into an antique shop. Each.....

room is filled with wonderful goodies.The rooms sort of have a theme...there are just the coolest kitchen items and linens here and

this room is filled with lovely old china, depression glass, and wall art. There is even a room filled with boy things...tools etc. We all found a treasure or two and......

then piled in the cars and headed to the neatest place for lunch....

The Hole In The Wall. The food is delish!!! Everyone had something different. Carl had meat loaf and mashed potatoes and I know Mary had yummy taco soup, I had the best cheeseburger, but I've forgotten what everyone else had. Not only is the food wonderful the dining room is decorated with wonderful vintage advertising signs...this is a favorite lunch spot for our family and I know out next visit we'll be going there again.

More too come........hugs, Linda

~ I'm Back ~ Our Trip Was Great ~

I'm back and we had a great time. We traveled through...... five states and drove just over 3,890 miles....yeehaw! Along........

the way we enjoyed awesome sunrises....and the most............

....................................beautiful and amazing..........................

scenery. I truly enjoyed every moment of the drive and seeing such pretty country but the best part was seeing and visiting with our family. That was wonderful!

Here we are at a neat little diner, McKee's...we had just finished a yummy breakfast and the waitress was clearing the table when someone snapped this picture. I know the table is a bit messy but I loved the picture of the brothers and sisters. James, Carl's BIL is on the left then his (Carl's) siblings...Larry, George, Mary, Carolyn, Carl and me. To be continued....hugs, Linda
