My Aunt Eileen just gave me this award! Isn't that sweet!We used to go to their house in Maryland every year on the day after Christmas. I think it was an 8 hr drive, but in the back of the station wagon, seemed like forever to a kid!
The good part about the trip was that Mom made sticky popcorn for the time in the car. I love it!!
But she did store it in old coffee cans so it had a bit of that smell. 
But anyway... Auntie E lives on a mountain just down from the Washington Monument. No, not that one that just popped into your head. There is another one... and that one on a mountain. We loved hiking the mountain to the monument, we'd play at the park (it had a curly Q slide!) and then hide & seek in the caves naturally occurring in the rocks of the mountain. So fun!
Aunt Eileen is a quilter so we enjoy seeing each other's projects.

Phil & K are at a farm show today so JP & I have had a quiet morning. We splurged and had shrimp for lunch. Much easier on the budget to have shrimp for 2 rather than 4.
JP is done w/ school and I'm working in the sewing room.

Joyce that was THE FIRST monument to Geo. Washington built in one day on the 4th of July by the citzens of Boonsboro.
I don't think it took 8 hours to come here. But what fun. Remember the time you all got the Chicken Pox?
We got the pox at your house? Ugh for you! I don't remember them.
Thank you, Joyce.
How sweet!
I just wish I could figure out how to copy that pretty award & send it on to others!
I can't get the graphic to copy & paste to my blog.
Awwwwwww! Thanks for the award! Much appreciated. I love your blog as well! And, only three weeks until our next planned visit! Yahoo!
