It's been almost a year since we went to our first Paducah show and we haven't stopped talking about everything we did and how much fun we had. I am so truly blessed. So, I will go with you in heart, you would have a much longer, more expensive trip than I. And, if you let me know what your very, very favorite fabric, color, etc. is, something just might slip into my over stuffed suitcase! Prices there were unbelievable last year so I'm hoping for the same, at least I've counted all my pennies and am planning on taking an empty carry-on again this year. Last year my empty carry-on came back so heavy I couldn't carry it up the stairs at Chicago O'Hare to change planes!!! Thank heavens God sent me a nice young man to help.
I am so happy for you to spend time with your sisters. I only have one brother left and he lives in San Diego. So we dont have much time to see each other. He and his wife had no children so they will just take off to Italy (where she comes from). Both retired. I wish we could see each other more.
OK....fabric hmmmmmmm I love asian fabrics (grew up in the south seas and had lots of time around the Islands).
or anything victorian (my wifes fav) or anything "Paris". Thats our dream to go. But you really don't have to.
Maybe this year you should rent a Van and drive back and you can stuff the Van full.......LOL
You are such a good soul!
Blessings
