Quilt Store Makes It All Better

We just returned from a trip to St. Augustine, Florida.

We went with one of my daughters, "Trouble" and granddaughter "Angel" and my

"Sweet Mom".

I was sick with vertigo and a sinus infection most of the time but my "Sweet Mom" decided that she knew what would make me feel better. She was right.

She surprised me by finding this quilt store in St. Augustine.

Aren't these beautiful quilts?

We had a lot of fun. We ate lots of good food and enjoyed being together.

Everyone is so busy all the time. This is a trip to just slow down and enjoy each other.

Is my Mom the sweetest thing or what?

She always thinks of others and today she was thinking of me.

This was back in the classroom.

I love visiting different quilt shops just to get different ideas and see what others are doing.
Maybe one day I will get back to quilting.

On our 8 hour drive to St. Augustine and back we had some great discussions.

My "sweet honey" was the driver most of the time. We love to hear things about my Mother's growing up. There is a lot we don't know. I do know that I sure do love my Mother.

I enjoyed my time with her and my family even when we weren't doing anything.

Sometimes Mom would be reading a book, my Honey would be watching a ball game, my daughter & granddaughter would be studying and I would be on computer but we still had a great time.

The lady at the store was so nice and told us about some things that were going on in St. Augustine that night.

I wasn't much fun on this trip but I am feeling better now.

I came home and went to bed and stayed all day yesterday.

About 2 weeks ago I was diagnosed as having vertigo. I didn't have it too bad and it was mainly at night when I turned my head. Then right before we left for our trip I went to the beauty shop and got my hair cut. I knew when I laid my head back to get it washed that I didn't feel right.

After getting my hair washed, dried and cut and then blown dry.......I was so sick. I think when she did my hair it really got the vertigo going. Then came the sinus infection. Well the main thing is I am getting better now. It sure makes you feel thankful to have your health.

This is the first quilt that I saw when we walked in the quilt store. We enjoyed a lot of things on our trip but this was my favorite thing. The Quilt store and my Mom made it all better! My Mom is the most giving, sharing, loving woman I know. Thank you Mom for thinking of me. You are a true example of what a Godly woman is. Thank you for being you.
