Oh my aching body, but It is a good feeling!

I bought this crown jewel. I traveled 3.5 hours to Austin and back with it Friday, getting home a 2 am. I was able to take it apart and label everything, loaded it into my CRV, (if it had been 10, feet 1/2 inch it would not have fit without having to take the poles and table completely apart. I'm actually grateful I didn't crack my windshield as they both sat on top of the dashboard), and put it back together in my sewing room yesterday. My room is an absolute disaster as I had to clear out and rearrange the orientation of my room. But the CJ and pearl frame is together.
I hope in my afterlife I get to meet this precious woman who originally bought this set up. She was able to spend her last years doing what she loved. I would have liked to be transplanted into her little sewing/quilting house. I got a little vision of what my retirement future will look like and I can't wait. I hope I have the health to do so.
I'm looking forward to another road trip to pick up the fabric stash!
