We are home and had a great time! It was just what we needed. We visited our friends at their pharmacy. Here is George the owner laughing at Katie. She was eating a doggie cookie with her butt in the air.
Here is George and Sue’s daughter Jennifer. She and Katie are best buddies.
A little quality time with Sue. Feels good! Katie always barks and stands on her hind legs looking out the drive up window everytime someone arrives. She acts like she owns the place. The owners doxies used to be there all the time until an inspector forced them to leave them at home. What a rip off!
This is our very nice room! It was wonderful and so was everyone who worked there including the owners who are good Christian people. You are checked on a couple times a day to make sure you have all you need and all is well. They have plenty of time to talk to you and lots of smiles as well. It was more like staying with family. Katie even got a special bag filled with goodies and they have a nice grassy area to walk your dog with poo bags provided!
Now for some of the fabrics Jack has been buying me and some patterns to. I am down to 4 outfits and of those four two are in tough shape, one is not the proper size and the other is just getting very old and worn out. These Jack bought for me at Ehlers here in town.
These are reproductions of 1800’s fabrics I bought at a place called FM Store in Springfield. I really enjoy all the fabrics. The dark blue with wheat is a reproduction of a fabric produced in 1860. The other was produced from 1830 to 1870.
The blue calico I got here at Ehlers and the other I got on clearance at Hobby Lobby.
These are the patterns I bought. I got them from Kathy at Common Sense Patterns Nice looking pull on style dresses easy enough for me to do. She prints them on really good, heavy paper as well and the instructions are easy to understand. I have been sewing for a number of years but I am self taught and never learned to do complicated patterns. I prefer simple styling anyway and easy to put together.
Lastly, here are Craig and Becky Chandler and their dogs. They not only own the place they work their too. Unlike many motel owners and they are such warm, loving and caring people. They are such a joy to talk with as well and the dogs are adorable. Katie and Buddy were flirting. Funny!
So that is most of our trip. I hope you enjoyed everything. God bless!
Welcome home! It’s such fun to read about your trips and see your pictures.
Your fabric is beautiful…I hope we get to see the finished product
I’m glad your back. Really beautiful fabric! I had the blue flowers and made a book cover with it. How funny
Glad you had a nice little trip and the fabric is all wonderful.

Continuing prayers for Jack’s healing. It is a joy to have you back home again. I love the fabrics too.

looks like you guys had a great time! and what a neat hotel! It’s hard to find a good one that takes dogs!
I’m so glad to hear that your trip was exactly what you needed:-) Sometimes, just getting away and having different surroundings around you can help clear the mind!! I just love the material you found and you will have to model the dresses once their made:-) Katie is so adorable, it’s no wonder everyone loves her!! xoxo
I came across two patterns (never used) in my stack that you might like.
E-mail me and I will give you the sizes. If it works I’ll mail them to you.
Have a blessed day!
That rose on blue fabric is very similar to one of Kath Kidston, a famous London designer.
Glad you had a great time! Katie looked liked she enjoyed the trip!

Glad you had a good trip! Looks like fun. I hope things with Tina will resolve soon.
Hi! Glad all your computer stuff got straightened out, but sorry you lost some things. I had a problem a while back with Firefox and Raf got rid of all of it for me, so I am having to remember urls, etc.
Love to you and Jack and Katie!
