I’m writing today from the Beehive State — Utah.
We came for our nephew’s wedding — which has been the wedding of the century for our family. John has been the most eligible batchelor for two decades. We are overjoyed that he found a lovely gal and four darling kids. Now that they are on their honeymoon, the rest of us have been partying and celebrating for them.
On Sunday, my husband, son and I took a little side trip to visit my husband’s birthplace – Pocatello, Idaho and the land of Napoleon Dynamite, Preston, Idaho. What a fun, impromptu trip we had! I have never been to Idaho before and found it to be beautiful farmland.
I saw the coolest thing — a banner on a roadside hay bale announcing “Long Arm quilting, Fabrics and more” down a country road. I wanted to head toward it immediately, but everything is closed on Sundays in Utah. Well, nearly everything. There is the token gas station (but not all) and diner for travellers. I saw some really intriguing quilt shops where I would have loved to shopped, but instead took notes for a future trip.
I did go to several incredible shops, though, which I will do a PodCast on as soon as I return home. I have lots of cool info to share with you, so stay tuned.
We have one last day, tomorrow, and then I will be winging home in time to teach my block of the month class tomorrow night — whew! That’s cutting it close! Hopefully, our flight will leave on time ; )
