While I try to blog about our primary stops and the places we visit, I usually don't post about our driving days. So I decided to talk a bit about the things we do getting from place to place. The cat photo is of a Siamese named Sweet Blue. I met her in one of the quilt shops I stopped at on the road. My spouse very generously stops when I find an interesting quilt shop entry in my Quilters' Travel Companion. Some of the entries lead to strange shops, but more often to lovely places with friendly people. That was the case this afternoon. Rachel's Quilt Patch in Staunton, Virginia, is a real quilter's home.
The view is from my window last evening at our friends' home in northern North Carolina. They graciously hosted us and fed us fantastically! I love the hobby (cooking) that she has taken up in her retirement.
The other night we stayed at an rv park in Lexington, SC. The host there directed us to a restaurant nearby for dinner. This is not a place we would have found on our own, as it was located in a house in a neighborhood, not in a commercial area. The name, Vegetable Medley, gave me pause. It turns out that it was a real Southern buffet with pulled pork, great fried chicken, and vegetable dishes that made me eat too much! The locals filled the place as soon as it opened for dinner.
We will arrive home soon. We are going back to cold weather. Oh well, I guess I will get some quilting done.
Keep on quilting but only after shoveling the snow!
