To be able to sit outside and work on a quilt listening to nature do her thing has to be one of the greatest joys on this earth. Knowing that your husband is doing what makes him happy and you doing what makes you happy has to be the epitome of a good life. I do this also, only in our backyard. We don't do a whole lot of traveling anymore, but with the flowers, trees, birdbaths and feeders, and a good audiobook or music, and a neat quilt to work on, I can't ask for anything more.
And I do think non-quilters understand. They just don't know how to get there!!!!! We do!
I am so glad you had an enjoyable vacation. Enjoy every one and remember each one. Some day they will become memories instead of realities and reliving is sometimes better than the real mccoy!!!!! Edie
