Back in action

  I have had the most wonderful time not sewing.  That seems like such a harsh statement for someone who always has so many projects in progress and enjoys the process so much. Really!  But how could I possibly say such a thing?  It seems like blasphemy. 

Actually it was easy.  I got to spend wonderful time with my immediate family: husband, daughter, son and wife and their 2 boys.  We rented a condo VRBO in Branson, Missouri.  I had never been there and it was a great time together. We were there for a long week. 

My daughter brought her camera and we got a family photo.  And the boys were boys hard to pose using a timer. 

First of all, Missouri is a very different kind of terrain.  Oh, the enormous hills, valleys, and turns.  Beautiful countryside! But were it not for Google Maps, we would not have found our way to a bathroom, let alone any of the variety of locations we enjoyed. I can't even imagine driving with a paper map. 

We enjoyed many wonderful places: the Aquarium, the Outlet Mall, Silver Dollar City and the cave within, Dolly Parton's Stampede, and more. The weather was HOT as in the 90s, which was a shock to my system that had only been in the 50s a few weeks before. So every day, we went to the pool. And it was the perfect temperature.  Plus it had food. 

Great vacation!                 

We then took the boys home for 2 more weeks of fun

                Next installment fun with just the boys!
