wedding bells.....

the stitching needles are quiet ...

 

 

but you probably heard all the celebrating and laughing

 

 

for a family wedding and get-togethers

 

 

on the beautiful Carnton Plantation

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’ve totally lost track of what day and time zone it is!

 

 

 

it's just embroidery, have fun with it!

 

 

on the road again.....

and another graduation!

 

 

always love to hear the campus chimes

 

 

a gorgeous few days for celebrations

 

 

“squirrelized” on campus one last time!

 

 

You know you've made a lot of road trips when checking

out for the last time before graduation,

you hug the desk clerk goodbye…

 

 

a door monogram just to stay on topic here!

 

 

then and now

 

 

 

 

 

 

another journey begins…

 

 

 

 

it's just embroidery, have fun with it!

 

 



Last week's highlights.....

hazy - hot - humid 

and did I mention hot?

It was so hot...

 I was tempted to jump ship from the Ikea

curb and head to cooler climes

reflections of reflections of reflections

Advice to son moving into new apartment:

don’t meet your new neighbors this way

or

this way

Rats you say?

Oh, shiver me timbers!

As the sun sets on July…

headed home

jiggety-jig

it's just embroidery, have fun with it!

Mileage Milestone…..

expected balloons to fall from the rooftop...

confetti to pop from the vents...

a golden ticket exclaiming 'you win

a new car' to eject from the cd player...

zero,  zip,  zilch

the milestone passed quietly

not even a yay

*update...just added another 1400 miles

Are we there yet?

it's just embroidery, have fun with it!

the lengths we go to….

Amid all the good eating,

fun stops,

wine tasting,

whiskey tasting,

and history on The Fork and The Road's culinary tour...

I did spy a few monograms too!

What I'll do...

and the lengths I'll go to...

to find monograms!

it's just embroidery, have fun with it!

there’s no place like…..

regrouping

it's just embroidery, have fun with it!

Caution! Objects in mirror…..

are closer than they appear

waving hi from the highways

be back soon...

it's just embroidery, have fun with it!

hither and yon.....

seeing signs of spring

wishing I could see signs on interstate

headed in the right direction…..

but no stitching while driving permitted

it's just embroidery, have fun with it!

Orders and Perspective…..

on 12th and Filbert

Philadelphia

5th and LY

on dinner table

it's just embroidery, have fun with it!

I can see clearly now.....

Umm, not quite yet

Lake Erie sunset through plate glass window

still planted on the sofa with my Kleenex

and water bottle

and Hall’s mentholyptus

but hoping to kick this bug to the curb...

and seeing clearly soon

monogram through plate glass

it's just embroidery, have fun with it!

water, water everywhere...

all’s quiet in my thread corner as I set the gps to head north

gps: head northwest till you hit water

Hello Lake Erie!

gps: you have arrived at your destination

Wait, what?

Excuse me...do you know where I am?

Case Western, NYU, University of Chicago, Carnegie Mellon,

Washington University St Louis, Emory,

and my fav...

The University of Rochester

little late night snacks for refueling

gps: this way home...

it's just embroidery, have fun with it!
