• Day Trips

  Friday, Dennis, my parents, and I went to Mexico (MO) to check out Home Hearth, a fantastic quilt/fabric store.  There is also an antique store next door, so Dennis & my dad spent some of the time in there.  My mom found some great deals on fabric in their clearance section, and bought fabric to make a “non-traditional” quilt out of bright pinks & greens.  The triangles are arranged to make big zig-zags across the quilt.  No photos allowed in the store (they had this quilt made & hanging on the wall, and were selling the fabric in a kit—the yardage was there, but the pieces will need to be cut).  There were a lot of beautiful quilts and fabrics to look at.  

  Afterwards we ate at the 54 Diner in Mexico.  There is at least one other 54 Diner that I know of; it’s in Osage Beach.  The food was good, reasonably priced and more than enough of it.  If we got back next year, I’d like to eat there again.  

  Saturday we went to Springfield to hang out with Jax. He’s growing and changing and is his own little person.  He and Pepe spent quite a bit of time playing with Legos.  Jax can put them together and take them apart but prefers to take apart things Pepe builds. Jax’s parents were there too but we basically treat them like chopped liver these days.  (just kidding—we had a great visit with them)

  On the way home we stopped at the VF outlet.  Dennis got some new jeans…same size and style that he always wears, just unfaded and without holes.
