Sewing at Sea

Hello Friends~
I'm back after a week in the Caribbean.....aaaahhhh that's better.  I had a little stitching time on the way to Ft. Lauderdale.

We cruised on the Nieu Amsterdam of the Holland America Line.   I met several quilters who were at Quilt Camp at Sea.  When it was too windy outside I stitched at the top of the ship with a beautiful view.

On Valentines Day Mr. Fun and I celebrated our 31st Wedding Anniversary.  I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband and best friend.

 The ship had special flowers, treats and music it was a wonderful day.

On Key West we rented bikes and rode all around and took a tour of the Truman's Little White House.  It was fascinating. 

Somewhere Over the Rainbow....

 The ship was redecorated in December - it looked gorgeous.

 Oh, there you are....

I love this presentation at the Asian Lounge; Tamarind.

aaahhhh - Half Moon Cay

 Grand Turk - they are still recovering from the hurricanes of 2017.

Travel Tip:
When you book airline tickets online double check then triple check your dates.    Do you see the problem here???

I didn't see my error until the day before we were leaving the ship and I couldn't do anything about it until morning.  :(

Luckily we got new flights - for a change fee of course.
Unluckily our 2nd flight was CANCELLED due to weather.
Luckily we got tickets on Amtrak Washington DC - New Haven, CT.

Unluckily it takes 5 hours on that train.....
Luckily there was a club car.

What a meal - Wine and a Marshmallow Treat.

Thanks for all who left comments on our Superbowl snack.

We call them Hanky Pankys, but they are also known as:

Sh*t on a Shingle

SOS 

Polish Mistakes

Barf on Bread

I think it is mainly a American midwest thing but I've had them here on the East Coast too.

Thank you Silver City Quilters for giving me such a warm welcome and for being so engaged in my Lecture and Trunk Show.  I'd love to meet more blog readers, so please share my information with your program organizer or quilt shop.  See Top Tab on this blog.
