Good morning! It's a lovely fall morning, though much to my surprise, a bit cold. We have the MOST wonderful extended weekend. We managed to combine visiting with family we don't get to see a lot; a trip to the mountains (gorgeous fall color; SNOW!!; and bugling elk!!!); and a mini-family reunion.
I will tell more about the trip on my blog later - for now, just trying to get my bearings again. :)
Tonight I'll have to unpack (got home too late last night), and do laundry; but soon I hope to be back to sewing. I have a lot of unfinished projects, and have acquired some new ones as well. For "someday"! LOL!
Today is "Miss American Rose Day"
