Vacay By The Day

 

Hello friends!

Hope all is well with each and every one of you.

Back in July,

Bob and I had planned on staying

a few nights down in Ohio for our

15th anniversary.

Well plans changed so we decided to do

day trips so we could be back in time

to take care of Tundra.

DAY 1

We went to my cousins to visit,

plus she wanted to give us some furniture

to sell in our store.

She wanted Bob to drive our cargo van

down her hill and back into her walk out basement.

I thought it was a bad idea from the start,

but they both over ruled me.

They should have listened to me.

I though the ground was too mushy...

and it was.

Once Bob was close to the basement,

he got stuck.

Stuck bad.

My cousin had to call a tow truck for us.

We were an hour and a half away from our house.

We loaded the van, but had to wait 2 hours

for the tow to arrive.

We got on the road asap,

and arrived home at 3:30pm.

We left at 8:00 in the morning...

and we were worried about Tundra 

not being able to go potty. 

We had not left him that long before.

Thankfully he was fine and no messes in the house.

Day 2

We decided to go antiquing.

First had lunch at a sushi place.

There was so much to choose and we loved it all.

Then the fun part.

I found this bunny chocolate mold.

Which now proudly sits on my bucket bench

 in the kitchen with my other two.

Then there was this Santa.

Love him.

I also went to a quilt shop.

 Bought some wool instead of fabric.

Day 3 

We stayed home until 

the movie started in the afternoon.

We decided to go see Despicable Me 4.

It was such a cute movie and we love them all.

Day 4

Our anniversary day.

We went to breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Chinese for lunch after a useless car appt.

I had received an email from the dealership

where I always get my cars from.

They would be able to put me in a 2024 car

for the same payment I already have.

Why not Bob said... so I made the appt and we went. 

Yeah Right same payment.

Try it being double what I make right now.

NO THANK YOU.

Dinner was broasted chicken and ribs

with us each having a mango margarita.

Friday Bob had to work the store,

so I made him dinner and I stitched most of the day.

Thank you again for all of the anniversary wishes.

Hopefully we will make it another 15 years

if we can stay healthy enough.

In other news,

as an antique owner I would like to give a bit

if advise to those who like to collect antiques.

DO NOT Clean them.

Other then a good dusting with a rag,

please let them be.

DO NOT re-paint them.

DO NOT stain or rub wax on them.

It is the old patina that gives antiques their  character.

Cleaning them up will lose their resale value.

Robin asked me if the witch from my last post was 

a Prairie Schooler one.

Yes it is.

From the pattern Halloweenies.

I did change up the brown called for floss

in the brim of the hat,

and opted for the same orange DMC floss.

The weekend is almost here.

Hope you enjoy yours.

Vacay Blessings To The All!
