My daughter, Carisa, starts back to work tomorrow after being off for 12 weeks on maternity leave! Needless to say, she is very, very sad to leave her precious daughter. Carisa is a lucky lady because she gets to work from home 2 days a week and her husband is able to work from home 1-2 days a week. They will only have to take Parker to a sitter on one day. So, this week I am here and will get to "play" with Parker on Wed. AND Thurs. since Blair (my son-in-law) has to go into work on those days. Yippee for me!! Oh, the fun she and I will have!
Since this is Carisa's last day at home before she goes back to work, we didn't actually stay home! Instead, we drove up to a little town not far from here to go to a quilt store. They have the most amazing selection of fabrics and it is always a treat to shop there. Of course we took Parker with us and realized that this was her first visit to a quilt store. She seemed to enjoy it! Well, at least she didn't cry!
She looks a little over whelmed, doesn't she? But she DOES have good taste in fabric!! Parker was a trooper and let us shop and shop!
On our drive back to my daughter's home, I noticed all the aspen trees with their beautiful colors. We don't have aspen trees in Kansas, so I aways enjoy seeing them in Colorado in the fall.
I did bring my sewing machine and several hand projects to work on while I am here. But they all may stay in the car......I am busy playing with my granddaughter. Someday, she and I will sit side by side at the sewing machine and make a wonderful quilt together. We will have such fun and I will love telling her all the "funny" stories about her mama!
