Hubby and I were talking last year about me going to Grand Rapids this year -- but I'd be staying with my dear mother-in-law. I think Paducah (or the Houston show) would be too much for me, but I think I would enjoy Grand Rapids. Have only been there once but know the venue(s).
Some things have been going on back home and I'm doing something quilt related in May, think if anyone goes to Grand Rapids it should be him and that doesn't need to coincide with anything other than meeting up with his brother. Because of our pets we find it easier if just one of us goes on a trip at a time. So maybe next year for me.
