Love my DH, but prefer to fabric shop alone! I can think and make better decisions when I don't have someone waiting for me! When he does "travel" with me to a fabric store, he takes something to read in the car! :)

I don't take him if I can help it. He is one of those stoic starers. He crosses his arms and gets a glazed look. If I ask him about some fabric, I have to get his attention first. Then he just shrugs and smiles and says - Whatever you like honey.
I just leave him home to watch baseball.

I can't drive to bad leg so my husband has to take me to the LQS. When we arrive his first words are "are you going to be longer than 5 minutes?". He does not mind my spending money is the waiting that gets to him. :-D

Another great place to eat is the buffet at Yoder's in New Holland. They have a nice grocery store there too. The best broasted chicken I have ever ate. I've been know to eat 8 pieces at lunch time. lol And their breakfast buffet is awesome too. And another great breakfast buffet is Diener's on Route 30 beside Dutch Haven. I've been known to drive to Dutch Haven just to pick up shoo-fly pies. The best wet bottom shoo-fly pies. I have their recipe...from a book I bought there many years ago. But trying to cut it down from like 40 pies to 2...it just doesn't turn out quite right. lol

I need time to think how and which person I would use it for .
So for my pocketbook sakes I try not to take him.

Not for routine shopping but if he goes to a quilt show with me, he "helps" me shop and he's great fun to be with so that's okay. I don't buy fabric these days unless I need it for something specific though. I have quite a lot accumulated, although it's on shelves and sorted by color so perhaps easier to figure out whether I already have what I need.
