Today, Mary is coming for her annual December visit. So the other day, Carrie helped me do the after-Thanksgiving-cleaning...and we started to break out "Mugs & Rugs"-- my own speed version of Christmas decorating.
At some point during her visit -- we'll have to get a tour of the Blackhawk Hotel. The remodel wasn't QUITE done last year when Mary visited...
I'll pick Mary up at the Moline airport. Mary often needs one more flight to maintain HER GOLD STATUS with the airline...
Last year -- we had to go directly from the airport TO THE LOCAL KINKO'S because I had to fax my final changes for the 2011 registration brochure for the Sewing & Stitchery Expo...
AND Mary was also on a deadline -- so she was using another Kinko's work station...
Carrie helped me get the guest room ready for Mary. Line-dried sheets, of course...and a special appliqued winter bed quilt...
This year, Mary is doing seminars on Friday in Muscatine for Neal's Sewing. So maybe we'll see you there!
Or -- at the book club breakfast....or the Rita's Sew Fun Reunion luncheon.....or at the local Goodwill store or Salvation Army Thrift shop....then, too, there's a Christmas tour of the John Deere mansion....the Blackhawk Hotel is going to be ALL DECKED OUT for it's first Christmas after the extensive $42 million remodel...
NO END TO THE FUN, PEOPLE...!!
