What A Time We've Had

Bags are half packed and we've checked in on-line for our flights home tomorrow.

Alas.  Vacation is winding down.  But what a time we have had.

After an eight hour day at the Flower Show, we packed up and drove to NYC.  Brooklyn, specifically, to see whereabouts Precious Niece is now living and working.  While there, Mary met up with us at the Brooklyn General Store, where we bought vintage fabric and yarn.

Yes.  Real life vintage fabric.  And yarn.  In the same store.  DSis and I were not thinking such a place existed.

After shopping, we had a beverage down the block and chatted it up with Mary for quite a while.  When we parted company, we wondered around the area until dinner, and stumbled across another yarn store named Casita.  Where more yarn was bought.

Our time in the Big Apple was cut short.  We are fighting colds, you see, and were just too punked out to do anything that took any energy.

With a day of rest, however we were good to go today, and made a trek to historic antique row,

the Italian Market,

and Independence Square.

So tomorrow it is time to head home.  I am always sorry to say good-bye to DSis and Niece, and it is hard to leave my Eldest.

However, I do have something special waiting for me when I get home.  Beside the Guy, I mean.

Just wait 'til you see!
