My husband and I are full time RVing and have traveled all over the U.S. the last two years. We met a wonderful couple through our dogs and they (the dog and his "parents") started traveling with us. One of the best parts of the union is that Viv taught me to quilt and enjoy fabric. We have been in some wonderful quilt shops in our travels. (We have been in some really bad ones also.) Viv is adamant that if we aren't greeted when we walk in, we look at each other and turn around and walk out. There are too many neat shops who are friendly to put up with poor treatment. I worked in retail when I was young and was taught to always greet the customer. It's such an easy thing to do.
