Back from vacation
Greetings! We're back form the great, green space of Door County, Wisconsin. If you ever get the chance to visit - do it! - you won't be sorry. It's pretty, friendly, and rural (i.e. slow-paced) - and COOL. My husband has been checking the daily highs there for over a month! Each day when I woke up around 6:30 AM, it was about 60 degrees!
We long for the cool temps due to our allergies. Here in the St. Louis region we have higher temps and lots of mold, of which I'm reminded by the dark circles under rmy eyes. This is also on my mind b/c it apparently did not rain while we were gone but it is now - WOO HOO. It's a double-edge sword! We need the rain but we know that it will bring headaches and sleepiness along with it.
Over the next few days I will try to go through some of our photos and post some to share. I had some time, and energy, last night but I chose to work on a quilt top instead of sorting photos.

planning for vacation
I just spent an hour searching the web for quilts shop in Wisconsin that are not far from our route to Door County. It's easy to find quilt shops in Wisconsin! It's harder to figure out which ones are close to I-43! Oh - and that are open on Mondays.
Last year we stopped at Material Matters in downtown Cedarbrug. Beautiful shop with a park nearby that DH and son could enjoy while I shopped. There is another shop in town, Ye Old Schoolhouse, that we did not get to visit. I had hoped to stop at both but they are only open Tues-Sat.
Finally, I found one not to far off our route in Denmark and on the east side of Green Bay. Printed the directions and maps - all prepared for DH's questions about how we get there.
