VACATION! almost

Monday is my last day of work for the year!  It would of been this past Friday, but I forgot to account for my son's wisdom teeth surgery, for which I had to take the day off.  He had a 5th tooth that had to be removed in addition to the 4 wisdom teeth.  What an over-achiever!  He did well; I nearly passed out as I watched the post-op nurse remove the iv.  Why did I look?  Things like this never used to bother me, but the older I get the more squeamish I get.

Anyway, with vacation days looming, I am planning special things to do, along with quilting, of course, and mundane, though satisfying chores, like cleaning and home repairs.  My quilt buddy and I will be going to West Chester Historical Society to see a needlework exhibit.  My husband and I will take a road trip up to Newark NJ to see the quilt exhibit before it closes at the end of the year.  He is my driver (I hate the NJ turnpike) and will be rewarded with a nice lunch.  I wonder if he will look at the quilts with me?

I am also hoping to read all the references I tracked down on PA pillowcases.

    Enjoy your time off! What will the hubby do if he's not looking at quilts? It's probably too cold to sit in the car...

    I am right there with you; Friday was my last day until January 3. Isn't it great to get to spend some quality time living our non-work lives? I think I might actually get my Christmas preparations done before Christmas Eve this year. There's something about having so much free time that gives me energy. I've already finished the laundry and finally get to catch up on quilt blogs. Enjoy your vacation!!

    Enjoy your vacation and have lots of fun! I understand the squeemish stuff, there is a reason I didn't go into nursing! I find it bothers me more if it has something to do with one of my kids or a family member. Anyhow, there are professionals to deal with that yucky stuff! Can't wait to hear all about the quilt shows.

    Someone else with a road trip! I'm getting jealous! I'd bet your husband will at least go in with you to look at the quilts, if for no other reason than to make you hurry! *grin* Or maybe there will be something across the street that will interest him! Either way, have a fun and safe trip! ---"Love"
