As most of you know I took almost 3 weeks’ vacation time from work. Honestly it was long overdue and we made no plans for a fabulous getaway. I relished every single moment being home and not waking up to an alarm clock. That was good enough for me! I got lots of sewing done preparing for my Holiday Craft Faires and I put a wee bit of thought into stocking my Etsy shop, but that will still have to wait for awhile. Logistically, that is not going to work for me quite yet. I would essentially have 2 full time jobs and that would not be fun. Since I have decided that I am going to retire Dec. 2012 I am going to take more time off between now and then. I have so much accrued vacation time because I haven’t taken much time off. Now, for the announcement of my upcoming fabulous getaway. Drum roll please…
We are going to go to Texas at the end of September. YES, Texas is fabulous! Sweet Hubby’s sister lives in Texas and we have a new little great nephew that we can’t wait to see. His sister’s birthday is September 29th and….another drum roll please…
I am going to go to the Round Top Antiques Fair! Here is my little confession. I sort of planned this getaway around the show. O.K., not sort of, I flat out planned it around the show but SH reminded me that it was his sister’s birthday too. Now how fabulous is that? This is better than a vacation in Hawaii (which is long overdue too, but I will save that for another story).
Oh and one other thing, I am going to hit Hobby Lobby up BIG TIME. We don't have one in Cali. :(
xoxo, Sue
Sometime a break is well deserved, We all need a rest to enjoy those things we love most! Your trip sounds like fun. Visiting family is always a treat plus shopping and selling. Have fun!

Welcome back, I missed you!! You were so smart just to stay home. My friends who go away on big vacations come home more exhassted than when they left!!! Do you know I have never taken a vacation in my life? And I am 62. I guess that's rare, one friend of mine couldn't believe it and thoght I was joking. But O like it at home, just doing what I want and going on small day trips. Oh, Texas, how wonderful!!!! There is so much to do and see there, have you ever been?
ReplyDeleteOOO, what part of Texas? Wish it would be close to me. Now, just when IS Round Top? Daughter and I want to go soooo bad but it's pretty far for us.
ReplyDeleteYou will dearly love Hobby Lobby...bring lotsa moola.:)
Where is this in Texas? I may just crash your party! :) Tee Hee.... Oklahoma is only 3 1/2 hours from Dallas if you fly LOW! :)

I am so happy you enjoyed your time off. I will look forward to seeing some o the things you made. Your Texas getaway sounds fabulous. The Roundtop...really? I have always wanted to go to that one. The mother of all Antique shows. Did you know there is a Hobby Lobby in Visalia, Ca. now. It is only a little over an hour from me. If you ever want to venture down this way, I would love to meet you there.
