Today, we went to to The Quiltmaker's Shoppe in Manchester, Iowa, and Vintage Threads Quilt Shop in Dyersville, Iowa. I knew I could find some fabric that I wanted at these shops. We had a wonderful lunch at the Country Junction Restaurant in Dyersville - they have great homemade pie. Ray chose pecan and I had a couple of bites...mmmm good!
We arrived home this afternoon. We are unpacked; the laundry is done; the bills are paid; and we have groceries. I still have more to do before I start work Monday...
We had a great trip. The highlight, of course, was seeing Brad and his family and meeting Crosby. Past that, we are having a hard time picking out our favorite things. We just really loved the entire journey.
Now it is time to enjoy being home again!

Wow, I didn't know there was a good quilt shop in Machester. That's where we moved from twenty years ago.
