Stylish

Remember these?

Good manners never go out of style.

I always appreciate a thank you card and the students I had the pleasure of meeting two weeks ago sent me a beautiful handmade card.

They all signed it and they all wrote something.

Stylish.

And so is my BFF modeling a Harley jacket for her kids.  She is an awesome teacher! 

And my best friend!!

Spring fragrance

Lily of the Valley is blooming in my garden.  The flowers are on the opposite side of my house and unless I walk around to that side, I don’t see them when I come home.

But I could smell them as soon as I got out of my car.

I plucked a few and brought them into the house so now I can smell spring inside as well as out.

Whew!

I’m glad to be home.

The box bags were a hit.  But I don’t think I will be making any more for a while.

Charleston, South Carolina is a great place to visit.   We toured the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown, the USS Laffey, went to the Open Air Market in downtown Charleston, took a carriage ride through Charleston, toured Fort Sumter, dipped our toes in the Atlantic Ocean, visited the Citadel, went on a nature ride through Magnolia Plantation and a boat ride through the swamp lands there as well.  We saw a couple of dolphins and lots of alligators.  We all had a great time.

Knitting?  Nada.  No knitting happened.  Our days were too full and we were too tired to even look at the pattern let alone get out our yarn or needles and cast on.

I drove part of the way on Sunday and finished the trip on Monday with a detour to IKEA in Charlotte, North Carolina.

I did the return trip in one day.

Total distance: 1,188 miles.

Total time behind the wheel: 19 hours and 28 minutes.
