Toured downtown, ate BBQ and shared a fabulous raspberry cheesecake and thoroughly enjoyed the history in the city. Saturday evening we went to the show at the <a href="http://www.opry.com/">Grand Ole Opry</a>. If you haven't been - it's worth the trip. Country music has a way of mixing it's history with today that is very entertaining. </div>

Sunday, we left Tennessee and traveled to Alpharetta, Georgia to visit my dear friend Max and her DS. Scott and the gals hit it off right away- they talked football and golf :). We shared a nice lunch, Max gave me a big tote of woolly leftovers to knit hats, I gave her a box of Michigan yarn, Shepherd's Wool from <a href="http://www.stonehedgefibermill.com/">Stonehenge Fiber Mill</a> in East Jordan Michigan, and DS gave Scott a tote full of snacks for the road. This is the first time I have met Max- we are <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/">Ravelry</a> friends and it truly felt like we had known each other for ever! Thanks Max for welcoming us, we had a great time! </div>

We left Georgia and drove to Niceville, Florida for a visit with Scott's high school coach and his wife. Coach has always been a very important man in our lives and it was a privilege to visit with him again. Talk ranged from our grand babies and their grand babies to a specific game in 1970 and back again! We are looking forward to seeing them in Michigan this summer. Still in Florida, stayed in Plant City and just happened to hit the <a href="http://www.flstrawberryfestival.com/">Strawberry Festival</a>. The shortcake was spectacular! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_Rw8kpRccvTknuC3t_qbkH7lJkgQT88KDD5NnxP7orQjrq3KIrO9pj9dwoDQIADgeKFhW1fB3AMwSvYQda3kRkxK_Ko3CcBW_qOcEETVp7Z0CWp8JB1-V63qyCeXlC77c5M-wHwj-k3sV/s1600/strawberries.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" jsa="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_Rw8kpRccvTknuC3t_qbkH7lJkgQT88KDD5NnxP7orQjrq3KIrO9pj9dwoDQIADgeKFhW1fB3AMwSvYQda3kRkxK_Ko3CcBW_qOcEETVp7Z0CWp8JB1-V63qyCeXlC77c5M-wHwj-k3sV/s200/strawberries.JPG" width="200" /></a></div>

After the Tiger's, and a nasty traffic jam in Orlando, we drove to North Carolina to visit with my Uncle Richard. Retired U.S. Army, Bronze Medal recipient and Viet Nam veteran, Uncle Richard shared the WWII scrapbooks he made in 1941 when he was in the 8th grade and gifted me with a couple of books from Aunt Ardella's massive collection. The books will be treasured and used, Uncle Richard, as well as the heritage of fiber love that was passed on to me. It was wonderful to see you, and we are looking forward to another visit.</div>

Next to the Ohio River, in Newell, West Virginia is the <a href="http://www.hlchina.com/">Homer Laughlin</a> factory, I bought my first piece of Fiesta on our honeymoon and have been adding to it ever since. This place is a mecca! I loved it and could easily have spent long days and big dollars there :D As it was, Scott had to rearrange the car to make room for the four boxes I couldn't leave without! Next visit we will make time for the <a href="http://cleveland.about.com/od/justoutsideoftown/p/eastliverpool.htm">museum</a> and some of the other pottery outlet stores- ohhh! the colors!</div>

This one was slightly different. Several of<br />my sisters, our daughters and daughters-in-law<br />were invited to bring a 12 inch square- the only<br />restriction being that it should contain the color orange.<br />What an assortment!<br /><br /><br />We laid the squares out, pieced them together and added a border, backing and binding. Then we hung the finished piece on the log wall of our cabin. It will stay there- a memory of our ORANGE weekend. It is such a privilege to be a part of a multi-generational group of women who laugh and cry together and create art rather unintentionally!<br />From left to right the blocks are from me, my sister Linda, my sister Bonnie, a group scrappy creation made on the spot to complete our nine-patch, my niece Kari, my sister Mari, my niece Amanda, my daughter Rachel and my daughter-in-law Erin.<br /><br />Here's a close-up of the work of Rachel and Erin- <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcUojS6S2oqixXKAer7egFDkc3It7mgKf_J6igL1aXI7-eFgmOBkmvNctGJ-xZtM4UvTBwV-0jehyGEYmY0EUOW1uCNKSBXBxODU0laW0i0n-Ni9VodvlA1SrBIMDEQdLwwb9nH5b1-m3N/s1600/orange.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 167px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 110px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539886765674604610" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcUojS6S2oqixXKAer7egFDkc3It7mgKf_J6igL1aXI7-eFgmOBkmvNctGJ-xZtM4UvTBwV-0jehyGEYmY0EUOW1uCNKSBXBxODU0laW0i0n-Ni9VodvlA1SrBIMDEQdLwwb9nH5b1-m3N/s200/orange.JPG" /></a><br /><p align="left">aren't they amazing?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVjo4Q_EvSaBwW7cQUDTSUIfPK_HwsJh06HCjXyaOUuqvHTIOsiOtiTu-1im8HOacAI43F4bwlRKXPCgJKNx5kypdhcOFMZx0xCmnxzEoZn75ZRe-vBW9AjSAOYQgZ3eBdKgmwVWhCqRoh/s1600/orange.JPG"></a></p>MoBeahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12088328440828654578noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-252428263529943687.post-82136032163778129222010-10-14T10:43:00.001-07:002010-10-14T11:59:45.167-07:00Goofy Hats<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8X-oMh7azVlstkOe3Qsy4-VE2pOxjvaZ1RkPIMapjgbm7Y6mGWbfgKWa3GzpepVgdPPcBk31pZ4KaQpuipsQVyYBxZIZDaiNxDzVpHMlIgl8onjAiOmTBA7frJK4EMwuS4ZULLbJ1CSQX/s1600/scotts+hat.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527958864204776258" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8X-oMh7azVlstkOe3Qsy4-VE2pOxjvaZ1RkPIMapjgbm7Y6mGWbfgKWa3GzpepVgdPPcBk31pZ4KaQpuipsQVyYBxZIZDaiNxDzVpHMlIgl8onjAiOmTBA7frJK4EMwuS4ZULLbJ1CSQX/s200/scotts+hat.jpg" border="0" /></a> <div>One of the things I've been doing the last few years is at least one hat for everybody.
