After packing the car, we decided to check out a few more things on the backroads. We made a couple of stops and then found Krider's World Fair Gardens in Middlebury, Indiana. It is a small botanical garden that was beautiful.
It was sunny! Yes, that's our shadows. |
That's not a real man but I thought it was! |
I loved the detail on the underside of the mushroom. |
We headed on to The Quilt Shop on the Essenhaus campus. It was just a mile or so away. The shop has moved since we were last there. It's still in the same area but a much larger building. I found lots but left with just a couple backings and a little more Glide thread.
We then went on to Nappanee for lunch and decided we better do some real traveling if we were ever going to make it home. We stayed off of interstates and had a rather relaxing trip. We are in Bourbonnais, Illinois, tonight.
Day 20
Home! Today's trip was also made avoiding the interstates. The trip hasn't been easy for either of us but we are hopeful that traveling will get easier as time goes on. We really enjoyed being on the road again and loved seeing our son, his wife, and the grandchildren. Now, I can't wait to do some quilting.
Not all those who wander are lost.
I haven't been to Krider's in ages, thanks for the reminder! I was at the Essenhaus quilt shop just a couple weeks ago, the newer store has so much more room. I'm glad you made it safely back home and have a quiet weekend to rest up. Happy stitching!
